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 €99 for 50 products (€1.98 per product) 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. AI platforms typically start picking up your improved data within 1-2 weeks.

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 handles both for your product catalog: generating the structured data, descriptions, and feeds that both answer engines and generative search engines need to recommend your products.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

llms.txt is a file that tells AI crawlers (like the ones used by ChatGPT and Perplexity) what they're allowed to index on your site and how to understand your content. It's the AI equivalent of robots.txt for search engines. Without it, AI crawlers may skip or misread your store. Pickastor generates and installs your llms.txt automatically as part of every store optimization.

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 of 300+ words, (2) Schema.org Product JSON-LD markup on every product page, (3) an AI-optimized product feed in a format ChatGPT can consume, and (4) a properly configured llms.txt and sitemap. Pickastor generates all of this automatically - connect your store, click once, and Pickastor pushes everything back to your WooCommerce or PrestaShop installation.

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 optimizes your products and store for AI shopping, it supports independent store owners on WooCommerce, PrestaShop, and Magento, 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.
