MAGENTO 2 ✦ HYVÄ ✦ FREE AI READINESS SCAN BETA
Is your Magento store on AI's shortlist?
Shoppers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google which store to buy from, and AI agents are starting to shop on their behalf. With Magento, AI visibility is something you have to set up yourself, and it's often left undone. Test how your store is doing in one minute.

01 / THE MAGENTO PROBLEM
Why Magento stores fall off the shortlist more often.
Magento is the most powerful platform for serious online stores, but it isn't ready for AI search engines and shopping agents out of the box. Where Shopify and Adobe Commerce increasingly build it in, with Magento Open Source you set it up yourself.
No AI button
Shopify automatically lists stores that sell to the US in ChatGPT, and Adobe Commerce builds it into the licence. With Magento Open Source you choose and configure it yourself, and above all your product data has to be right.
Luma is heavy
The default Luma frontend relies on lots of JavaScript and only puts limited microdata in the page, not complete JSON-LD.
Data stuck in attributes
Brand, EAN/GTIN and material are often in your attributes but never make it into the structured data, so AI can't match your products.
Firewall blocks AI
Firewall and bot rules aimed at scrapers often lock out ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude too, without anyone noticing.
✦ The good news: Magento is flexible enough to solve all of this. You just need to know where.
YOUR ADVANTAGE
Magento lets you be better than the default.
On other platforms every store gets the same AI connection: whatever is taken care of for you is taken care of for your competitor too. On Magento you decide which data you share, how rich it is and with whom. Set it up well and you're not just on the shortlist, you're at the top of it.
Your data, your rules
You decide which product data and structured data you publish, and which AI protocols you support. Not the platform.
Rich product data
Attributes, configurable products, B2B: exactly the details AI agents need to compare products. Often you already have them.
International in one installation
Store views per language and country, with their own prices and hreflang, so AI shows the right version in every market.
No lock-in
Your code, your database, your hosting in Europe and your choice of partners. You don't depend on one platform's AI deals.

06 / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Good to know.
What is an AI readiness scan?
An AI readiness scan checks whether AI search engines and shopping assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews can read, understand and recommend your store. It looks at access for AI bots, product data and structured data, discoverability (sitemap, llms.txt) and whether your content is readable without JavaScript.
Why are Magento stores missed by AI search engines more often?
Shopify automatically connects stores that sell to the US to AI assistants; with Magento Open Source you have to set it up yourself. Common causes are the heavy Luma frontend with limited microdata, brand and EAN/GTIN stored in attributes but missing from the structured data, and firewall or bot rules that also lock out the search bots of ChatGPT and Perplexity.
How much does an AI readiness scan cost?
The quick scan on this page is free. Essentials costs €1,250 and Complete €4,450, both excluding VAT and at a fixed price. Strategy is tailored, from €7,500. To stay visible there's a monthly monitoring subscription from €195 per month.
How do you measure whether AI search engines mention my store?
I ask a fixed set of buying questions your customers would ask, several times, in several AI tools, so chance plays a smaller role. For each question I record whether your store is mentioned and recommended, whether your site is linked, and how often your competitors are mentioned. The result is a visibility score you can measure again after making improvements.
What's the difference between the free scan and the paid scans?
The free scan automatically checks nine technical points. The paid scans also use real buying questions to measure how often your store is mentioned in AI answers, compared with your competitors. In Complete I also implement the most important improvements myself and measure again after 60 days.
Does the scan work for Hyvä, Luma and Adobe Commerce?
Yes. The scan detects whether your store runs on Hyvä or the Luma frontend and gives solutions for Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce. Other platforms can be scanned too, but the advice is written for Magento.
What is agentic commerce, and does my Magento store need to do anything about it yet?
Agentic commerce means AI assistants don't just give advice, but search, compare and eventually buy products on the customer's behalf. Checking out through an AI assistant is still mainly a US thing, but the foundation is the same as for visibility in AI answers: complete, machine-readable product data, access for AI bots and a fast store. Get that right now and you're ready for both.
Does the scan work for stores outside the Netherlands?
Yes. The scan works for any publicly accessible store, in any language and country. I deliver the paid scans remotely, in English or Dutch.
Who carries out the scans?
Simone Zuurveld, a freelance Magento 2 and Hyvä developer based in Hilversum, the Netherlands, with experience as an entrepreneur across several industries.
