What you'll learn

• Installation — How to add Vantage to your Shopify store and what happens during setup.

How Vantage works

Vantage connects to your Shopify catalog, analyzes every product across 9 scoring dimensions, and gives each product an AI Readiness Score from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the more likely AI shopping agents (like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot) are to recommend your products to shoppers.

The scoring is entirely rule-based and deterministic — no black-box AI deciding your fate. You can see exactly why each product scored the way it did and follow clear suggestions to improve.

Before you begin

You'll need:

• An active Shopify store on any plan
• A staff account with permissions to install apps and manage products
• At least one published product in your catalog
