How is the AI Readiness Score calculated?
The score is calculated by running each product through 17 validation checks across multiple categories. Each product receives pass/warning/fail results for each check. These results are aggregated across your catalog and weighted by importance:
SEO-related checks carry the highest weight since they have the biggest impact on AI search visibility
Image and description checks carry moderate weight
Performance and metadata checks contribute as supporting factors
A bonus is applied when all critical checks pass, rewarding comprehensive optimization.
The score updates automatically whenever:
You save changes to a product via ShopRank AI
You edit a product in Shopify admin (detected via webhooks)
The nightly re-analysis runs
You manually trigger "Recalculate Score" from Settings
