Question 1

What is AI-ready product data?

Accepted Answer

AI-ready product data means your product descriptions, images, pricing, and structured markup are optimized for AI shopping platforms to understand and recommend. This includes detailed natural-language descriptions, schema.org Product markup, high-quality images with alt text, and AI-readable product feeds.

Question 2

How do AI shopping platforms choose which products to recommend?

Accepted Answer

AI platforms like ChatGPT Shopping, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity scan the web for product data. They prioritize products with detailed descriptions, structured data markup, clear pricing and availability, and well-organized product feeds. The more complete and well-structured your data, the more likely AI will recommend your products.

Question 3

Does Pickastor work with WooCommerce, PrestaShop, and Magento?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pickastor supports WooCommerce, Shopify, BigCommerce, PrestaShop, and Magento. PrestaShop and Magento support is particularly important because almost no AEO tools exist for these platforms - making Pickastor one of the only ways to optimize PrestaShop or Magento stores for ChatGPT Shopping and Google AI Mode.

Question 4

How much does it cost to optimize my products for AI?

Accepted Answer

Pickastor uses a simple credit system with one-time payments - no subscription required. Prices start at €69 for 25 products and go down to €0.20 per product for larger stores. Your first 3 products are optimized for free.

Question 5

Do I need a subscription?

Accepted Answer

No. Pickastor is a one-time payment. You buy credits for the number of products you want to optimize, and those optimizations are permanent. No monthly fees, no recurring charges.

Question 6

How fast can I see results?

Accepted Answer

Your AI Score is instant - results in under 60 seconds. Product optimization takes about 10 minutes for a batch. How fast AI platforms pick up the new data varies by platform and isn't something anyone controls - think weeks, like SEO, not hours.

Question 7

What is the difference between AEO and GEO?

Accepted Answer

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is optimizing your content to appear in AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the broader practice of optimizing for AI-generated content - including Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. Pickastor works on the product side of both: it rewrites your product titles, descriptions and tags, adds structured attributes and search phrases, and publishes an AI product feed. Product markup on your pages comes from your theme or SEO plugin - your AI Score shows whether it's there.

Question 8

What is llms.txt and does my store need it?

Accepted Answer

llms.txt is a proposed standard: a plain-text file at the root of your site that gives AI tools a short, readable summary of what your site is and links to its most important pages. It's optional, and not every AI platform uses it yet - which crawlers may read your store is still controlled by robots.txt. For a store, a short llms.txt pointing to your main categories is a cheap extra you can add yourself. Pickastor doesn't create it for you; it focuses on the product data and the product feed that AI shopping tools read.

Question 9

What is agentic commerce and how does it affect my store?

Accepted Answer

Agentic commerce is when AI agents - like ChatGPT Shopping or Perplexity - autonomously discover, compare, and recommend products without the shopper visiting individual stores. Instead of a customer Googling 'best running shoes', they ask ChatGPT and buy directly from its recommendation. For this to work in your favor, AI needs to be able to read your products, understand their value, and trust your data. That's exactly what Pickastor prepares your store for.

Question 10

How do I make my WooCommerce or PrestaShop store visible to ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

To get your WooCommerce or PrestaShop products into ChatGPT Shopping results, you need: (1) rich natural-language product descriptions, (2) Schema.org Product markup (JSON-LD) on every product page - most themes and SEO plugins such as Yoast or Rank Math can add it, (3) a clean product feed AI tools can read, and (4) a robots.txt that lets AI crawlers in, plus a sitemap. Pickastor handles 1 and 3: connect your store, review the rewritten titles, descriptions and tags, push them back with one click, and get your AI product feed URL. Your free AI Score checks 2 and 4 and tells you exactly what to switch on.

Question 11

How is Pickastor different from tools like Goodie AI, Answee, or Searchable?

Accepted Answer

Goodie AI, Answee, and Searchable are monitoring tools - they show you how visible your brand is in AI results, but they don't fix it. They're also priced for enterprise teams ($500-$2,000+/month). Pickastor is the opposite: it actually rewrites your product data and publishes an AI product feed, it's built for independent store owners on WooCommerce, Shopify, PrestaShop, Magento and BigCommerce, and it costs a one-time fee per product - not a monthly subscription. Pickastor is built for the stores that enterprise AEO tools completely ignore.
