FAQ
Questions From BigCommerce Store Owners
I am not technical. Can I still use this?
Yes. You install the app from the BigCommerce App Marketplace, sign in with Google and click Verify. The app handles the rest. Alerts and insights are written in plain English, so you do not need to know SEO terms.
What is the AI Action Center?
It is a list of alerts inside the app. It flags keywords and pages that are losing traffic, keywords close to page one, pages that are seen but rarely clicked, and new keywords. Each alert comes with an estimated impact and a suggested next step. Alerts need some search traffic to compare, so a very new or quiet store may see only a few at first.
Does the app change my theme?
No. It adds one small script through BigCommerce Script Manager that places the Google verification tag on your storefront. Your theme files are not touched, and the script is removed when you uninstall the app.
What is the free MCP connector?
It connects your search data to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. You can then ask your AI assistant questions like "Which products lost traffic this month?" and get answers based on your own data. The connector is free.
Will this improve my Google rankings?
No app can promise rankings. The app makes sure Google knows about your pages and shows you which products, pages and keywords to improve. The changes you make based on that are what move rankings.
How long until I see my data?
For a new site, Google usually needs 48 to 72 hours to send the first report. If your store is already on Google, your data loads soon after you connect.
What is the difference between Basic and Grow?
Basic is free and gets your store verified and indexed on Google. Grow adds full search analytics, the AI Action Center and AI insights. It costs $20 per month, or $120 per year, which works out to $10 per month.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Billing runs through your BigCommerce account, and you can cancel your plan there at any time. You can keep using the free Basic plan after that.
