Is your store ready for AI shopping?

A free audit for WooCommerce store owners.Takes about 60 seconds.

Method

A balanced score designed for changing AI models.

AI answers change every day — which is why a single prompt tells you nothing. We build a query set from your own catalog and run it against ChatGPT and Perplexity, then measure the product data those answers are built from. Our scoring model weighs both sides into a single 0–100 number, so it moves when your store changes — not when the model does.

FAQ

Questions merchants ask

How much does the audit cost?

Nothing. The audit is free — no account, no card. We offer a paid done-for-you service that fixes what the audit finds, and the free report is how we show you what there is to fix.

How long does it take?

Usually 30–90 seconds. Most of that time is the audit running real shopping queries through ChatGPT and Perplexity and reading their answers.

What gets shared with AI vendors?

Only public catalog data — the same product information anyone can see on your store. Your email address is never sent to AI vendors; it is used only to deliver your report.

Why do you only check ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Copilot, Claude, Gemini and others don't yet have the same consumer shopping-query volume as ChatGPT and Perplexity, so "checking" them would mean guessing from proxy signals, which we won't do. The catalog data we measure is the same data every AI channel reads, so fixing it helps everywhere — we'll add channels as usage shifts there.

Why do you use the ChatGPT and Perplexity APIs instead of the chat apps?

Because a measurement you can't repeat isn't a measurement. In the apps, every answer is shaped by your chat history, your account, and layers we can't hold still — two people asking the same thing get different screens, and so would we, tomorrow. Through the API we pin the model version, fix the sampling settings, and force a live web search on every call. Same question, same conditions, every time.

What we don't claim: that this reproduces any individual shopper's screen — the wording and the order of recommendations won't match. What does carry across is the part that decides everything else: whether a live search for a real buying question surfaces your store at all.

Who is this for?

Owners of WooCommerce stores. If your store runs on another platform, the audit can detect it but cannot analyze the catalog yet.
