No. StoreRank.ai works alongside your existing SEO strategy. While traditional SEO focuses on Google, we optimize for AI search engines like ChatGPT and Claude.

One credit optimizes a complete product including title, description, and FAQ generation. If you only optimize individual elements like just the title or description, it uses partial credits (0.2 for individual items such as product titles or descriptions). Most stores use full optimizations for maximum impact.

Schema optimization is instant across all products. Content optimization happens gradually based on your plan limits (150-1,000 products/month). We prioritize your best-selling products first. You don’t need to optimize everything at once.

Happens with very small stores or extremely niche products. You’ll still get value from competitor intelligence (seeing who does get mentioned and why), content improvements, and being ready when your store grows. We’re transparent about this, AI favors established brands and popular products.

Yes, cancel anytime. No contracts. Most merchants who cancel do so because they expected instant results, not because the tool doesn’t work. Set realistic expectations: this is a 6-month minimum commitment to see meaningful results.

Those tools optimize for Google’s algorithm. We optimize for AI algorithms – completely different ranking factors. Google cares about keywords and backlinks. AI cares about natural language, question-answer format, and citation-worthy content. Different game, different rules.

Start with our 14-day free trial. You can test all features and see if AI optimization makes sense for your products. If you subscribe and still aren’t satisfied after giving it a fair shot, we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee. That gives you 2+ months to see initial AI mentions and determine if the trajectory is right for your business. Just email us, no hassles, no questions that make you jump through hoops.

Tracking pauses for that month, but all your optimizations keep working. You won’t lose any AI visibility or sales, you just won’t see the analytics until the next billing cycle. You can upgrade anytime to resume tracking immediately.

Yes, changes take effect immediately. Upgrades give you access to higher limits right away. Downgrades apply at your next billing cycle, so you keep your current features until then.

AI search ranking timelines differ from Google. Initial AI mentions typically appear within 3-6 weeks of proper optimization. However, consistent recommendations and higher rankings can take 3-6 months, especially for smaller brands. AI platforms favor established brands and frequently-mentioned products.

AI moves fast, we know that. We monitor algorithm updates across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and emerging platforms constantly. When ranking factors change (like when ChatGPT updated their citation preferences in late 2024), we push updates to all customers within days, not months. We also track new AI platforms before they hit mainstream and add support proactively. Your subscription includes all these updates automatically, no additional fees when we add new AI platforms or adapt to algorithm changes. Think of it as future-proofing insurance for the AI search landscape.

Zero technical knowledge required. Install the Shopify app, connect your store, and everything runs automatically. We handle all the schema markup, crawler optimization, and content generation behind the scenes.
