Is RankEngine an AI SEO agent?
Yes. An AI SEO agent runs the SEO loop on its own — audit, decide, apply, verify, repeat. RankEngine does exactly that for Shopify: Autopilot applies verified fixes daily (meta, alt text, schema, images, redirects, llms.txt, IndexNow), an in-app Copilot takes plain-English instructions with approval tiers, and an MCP server lets Claude or Codex drive the same pipelines. Every change is re-read from Shopify before it is marked done.
Does RankEngine apply real Shopify changes?
Yes. Supported fixes are applied through Shopify APIs or theme-app configuration. The app records what changed, re-reads the live value to verify it, and keeps the fix state tied to the affected resource.
What stays as manual review?
Only items that need merchant judgment — theme editing outside safe app surfaces, brand decisions, or external account authorization. These appear in a clearly-labeled manual queue, never hidden behind a green check.
How does AI-search readiness work?
RankEngine audits and manages structured data, llms.txt, agent.json, and AI-crawler access, then tracks how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity describe your store so you can close gaps.
Can I undo fixes?
Supported applied fixes are logged with restore points, so you can revert where the same Shopify mutation can safely restore the previous value.
Does this replace Google Search Console?
No. RankEngine complements search data with Shopify-specific fixes, audit history, issue prioritization, AI-search readiness, and merchant workflows inside Shopify admin.
What's the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?
SEO ranks your pages in classic search. AEO gets you cited inside AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity. GEO is the broader term for inclusion in any generative AI output. The work behind AEO and GEO is the same, and both sit on top of classic SEO — RankEngine covers all three, plus AI search optimization end to end.
