What is the AI Readiness Score?

The AI Readiness Score is a comprehensive metric (0–100%) that measures how well your entire product catalog is optimized for AI-powered search engines and shopping assistants.

The score is a weighted combination of six key areas:

  • SEO Optimization — Title quality, description quality, taxonomy depth, and schema markup

  • Image Alt Optimization — Whether your images have descriptive, properly formatted alt text

  • Metadata Structure — Presence of review metafields (ratings and review count). Checks for materials, care instructions, and sizing metafields are coming soon.

  • Performance Score — PageSpeed performance of your product pages

  • Product Descriptions — Content quality including length, specificity, and natural language

  • Pricing Strategy — Live pricing and inventory availability

Here's how to interpret your score:

  • 80–100% — Excellent — Your catalog is well-optimized for AI search

  • 50–79% — Good — Solid foundation, room for improvement

  • 0–49% — Needs Improvement — Significant gaps that limit AI discoverability
