We’ve launched the AI Article Autopilot — a fully automated content engine built to help your store rank for high-intent AI and search queries.
What’s new
AI-suggested topics based on opportunity, difficulty, and search volume
Content calendar with scheduled publishing
Auto-fill calendar (Pro+ plans)
Full article generation optimized for SEO and AI discovery

Product and collection mentions inside articles
AI image generation for featured images

Why this matters
Most stores publish inconsistently or don’t target the right keywords. AI Article Autopilot solves that by:
Prioritizing high-opportunity topics
Generating structured, schema-ready content
Publishing consistently on autopilot
Giving you full editing control before anything goes live
Set it up once, and your content pipeline runs automatically.

New
We’ve added a new Citation Sources section to the AI Mentions Tracker.
This shows exactly which websites and specific URLs AI models use as sources when mentioning your brand and your competitors.
What’s included:
A ranked list of top citation domains used by AI models
The exact URLs being cited (not just the domain)
Which queries referenced each source
Visibility into both your brand and competitors
Why this matters:
Understand why competitors are mentioned instead of you
See which articles and pages AI models trust most
Identify concrete opportunities to:
get featured on the same sources
create competing content
influence AI recommendations more effectively
This turns AI mentions from a black box into actionable insight.

Improved
We’ve fully revamped the AI Crawler Access feature to give AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini a much clearer, more intentional view of your store.
What’s changed:
From limited to scalable priority control
Before: Up to 5 products and 3 collections could be included.
Now:
Up to 100 priority products
Up to 50 priority collections
Unlimited priority pages
Smarter LLMs.txt structure
Priority products and collections are listed first, aligned with how AI crawlers consume store data.
Automatic llms.txt discovery
yourstore.com/llms.txtnow automatically redirects to your generated file.
Auto-synced every 24 hours
Your LLMs.txt file is automatically refreshed daily to reflect:
product changes
availability updates
new content
This keeps your store fresh and crawl-worthy, which AI models strongly prefer.
Advanced LLMs.txt configuration
Include all products
Exclude out-of-stock products
Include collections
Include blogs & articles
Include store pages
Include data feeds
Enabled by default
No manual setup required.
Note for current users: Because of this upgrade, Shopify will request a one-time permission update so we can generate and maintain your LLMs.txt file correctly.

We’ve added native Junip support to automatically include Junip reviews in your structured data (Review & AggregateRating schema), helping AI platforms and search engines better understand and reference your product reviews.

New
We’ve added a new block inside the Mentions Tracker that automatically suggests high-value queries/questions to track based on real customer search behavior and search volume.
This helps you instantly discover what people actually ask AI tools about your niche, so you can track (and win) the prompts that matter.
Improved: More Stable Mentions Tracking
We’ve upgraded the Mentions Tracker backend for smoother performance, more consistent updates, and improved reliability across all platforms.

We've upgraded your StoreRank experience with three powerful updates that give you more control and smarter automation!
⚡ Advanced Filtering & Sorting
Finding the right products just got way easier! Filter by optimization status, vendor, collection, tags, product type, price range, or published date, then sort exactly how you want (newest/oldest, A-Z, you name it). Power users, this one's for you!
🎨 Customize Your Optimization Defaults
Take full control in Brand Settings! Choose which fields to optimize by default (titles, descriptions, meta tags, alt text), toggle Smart FAQs on/off, and set your preferred FAQ count per product. Set it once, optimize efficiently forever.
🎯 Smart Schema Detection
No more conflicts! StoreRank now automatically detects existing Product schema from your theme, SEO plugins, or other apps. We'll let you know what's already there so you can avoid duplicates and keep what's working.
Happy optimizing! 🎉
