Four steps to get started
Before you start, make sure your store is not password protected. You can find the password setting in your Shopify admin under Online Store > Preferences. If you want to keep the password on, save it in the "Storefront password (for password-protected stores)" field on the dashboard.
- Run your first scanWhen you open the app, the dashboard appears. There is no "Dashboard" item in the left menu. To go back to the dashboard, click the app name in the left menu. Click "Run scan" to start a scan. The number of finished pages is shown under "Score by category". The screen updates automatically, and your AIO score and issues appear when the scan is done.
- Choose a paid planYou need a paid plan to output structured data to your store. Click "View more" in the left menu, open "Plans", and choose a plan. Paid plans come with a 14-day free trial.
- Turn on the app embedIn your Shopify admin, click Online Store in the left menu to open the Themes page. Click "Edit theme" (shown as "Customize" on some screens) on your current theme to open the theme editor. (If your admin uses another language, the menu may briefly show the English name "Online Store" while the page loads.) Under App embeds on the left, turn on "AIO Structured Data", then click Save in the top right.
- Review issues and add structured dataCheck your issues under "Top 5 priority issues" on the dashboard or in "Scan results", then turn on structured data with the "Auto-implement" button or from the "Structured data" page. On paid plans, scheduled scans run automatically at a frequency set by your plan. On the Growth plan and above, you can set a "Notification email address" and a "Alert threshold (points dropped)" (default: 5) under "Reports & alerts" (in "View more") to get an email when your score drops.
What you can do on the Free plan
The Free plan includes scans (diagnosis) only. Adding structured data requires Starter or above. On the Free plan, you can scan up to 20 pages every 30 days and review your AIO score and issues. On the "Structured data" page, the "Enable" button is shown but cannot be clicked, along with "Available on Starter and higher". If you open the "AI FAQ" page, you will see "AI FAQ generation requires the Starter plan or higher".
For the differences between plans, see "AIO Struct Check Plans and Features".
What pages does the app have?
Pages that are not shown in the left menu appear when you click "View more".
| Page | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Dashboard (opens when you click the app name in the left menu) | Run scans and check your AIO score, issues to fix, category scores, priority issues, and usage for the current period (resets every 30 days) |
| Scan results | Check your scan history and each page's score and main issues (downloading results as CSV requires Growth or above) |
| AIO diagnostics | Check how your store appears in AI answers for each keyword (Premium includes 20 diagnostics every 30 days. Starter, Growth, and Advanced can use it by buying add-on packs) |
| Structured data | See the output status for each schema type and whether existing schema was detected in your theme, and turn each type on or off (enabling requires Starter or above) |
| AI FAQ | Select a product to create FAQ drafts, then edit and approve them (Starter or above. On the Free plan, it shows "AI FAQ generation requires the Starter plan or higher") |
| llms.txt / Crawlers | Check which AI crawlers are allowed, and generate, edit, and publish llms.txt (generating and saving require Starter or above). The page heading is "llms.txt & AI crawlers". |
| Reports & alerts | See your AIO score history, export CSV or PDF, and set up email alerts when your score drops (CSV and alerts require Growth or above, PDF requires Advanced or above) |
| Competitor benchmark (in "View more") | Compare category scores between competitor home pages and your store (Advanced or above) |
| Plans (in "View more") | Check or change your plan, and switch between monthly and annual billing |
Things to check first
- Each plan has a limit on how many pages you can scan every 30 days (you can see what is left and the next reset date in "Usage this period" on the dashboard)
- Whether your storefront is password protected
- Whether your theme already includes structured data (JSON-LD)
- After adding structured data, check your live store pages
Common stumbling points for new users
- I can't find "Dashboard" or "Plans" in the menu
- The dashboard opens when you click the app name in the left menu. "Plans" and "Competitors" appear when you click "View more" in the left menu.
- Scan results say they are empty before I have scanned
- If "Scan results" shows "You haven't run a scan yet.", it is because you have not run a scan yet. Click "Run scan" on the dashboard.
- I can't click "Pick a product and generate FAQs"
- AI FAQ is a Starter and above feature. If you open the page on the Free plan, it shows "AI FAQ generation requires the Starter plan or higher", and the button cannot be clicked.
- I added structured data, but my store looks the same
- Structured data is information for search engines and AI to read. It is not shown on your store pages. To check whether it is being output, run a new scan and see if the issue changes to "pass", or enter a product page URL in Google's Rich Results Test.
- I used auto-implement, but no structured data is output
- Structured data is only output from a theme where "AIO Structured Data" is turned on under App embeds in the theme editor. Turning it on in the app alone does not output anything. Your theme code is not edited.
- I can't click "Enable" on the Free plan
- The Free plan includes scans (diagnosis) only. Adding structured data requires Starter or above. On the Free plan, the "Enable" button is shown but cannot be clicked, along with "Available on Starter and higher".
- Breadcrumb or organization output doesn't change
- BreadcrumbList and Organization / WebSite are turned on or off with the checkboxes in the settings of the "AIO Structured Data" app embed. Switching them on the "Structured data" page does not change the output. Organization / WebSite is off by default.
- I generated FAQs, but they don't appear on the product page
- AI only creates drafts. Only FAQs you approve with "Approve and publish to structured data" are output. Also check that 「FAQPage スキーマを出力(承認済みFAQ)」 (Output FAQPage schema (approved FAQs)) is turned on in the app embed.
- I fixed things, but my score didn't change
- Your score updates when you run a scan. After making changes, click "Run scan" on the dashboard to scan again. Issues that need manual fixes, such as image alt attributes, headings, and title tags, are not fixed by the app.
- I can't run a scan
- You may have reached the limit on pages you can scan every 30 days (20 pages on the Free plan), or your storefront may be password protected. You can see what is left in "Usage this period" on the dashboard. If your store is password protected, remove the password, or save it in the "Storefront password (for password-protected stores)" field on the dashboard. You can find the password setting in your Shopify admin under Online Store > Preferences.
- "Usage this period" doesn't reset at the start of the month
- Usage does not follow the calendar month. It resets every 30 days, counting from the day you first used the app. The dashboard shows the next reset date in the usage heading, as in "Usage this period (resets every 30 days, next reset [date])".
