Release notes

Updates appear here shortly after each product release.

  1. Advanced Shopify catalog filters

    • Choose which products and collections enter APO using collection and tag names from the store — no GID paste.
    • While you edit, see live now vs new included counts on the same snapshot, then save when the catalog size looks right.
    • Draft and archived products never import. Gift cards and other active SKUs still import unless you exclude them with tags or collections.

  2. Weekly digest emails + persona generation hardening

    • Weekly Activity emails now lead with a specific highlight from your brand week, then a direct link to the Activity page.
    • Product-news teases in those emails are localized (French and Spanish) instead of English-only.
    • AI-generated personas stay within field length limits, so generation is less likely to fail on long copy.

  3. Activity dashboard, weekly digest & release notes

    • New Activity page per brand: this week’s discoveries, score moves, pending work, and ops highlights — with a short AI-written summary.
    • Optional weekly email teases what’s new and links straight to that brand’s Activity page (rolled out gradually).
    • Public Release notes page lists what we shipped for customers (from our product changelog).

  4. Tech Audit AI crawlers + stronger Robots/Sitemap

    • New AI crawlers check shows whether major AI bots (ChatGPT search, Claude, Perplexity, training crawlers, and more) are allowed by your robots.txt.
    • Robots & Sitemap now checks real crawl policy: path blocks, sitemap quality, whether the audited page is listed (including sites that split sitemaps), and noindex.
    • Clearer scores and AI-written recommendations per check, in your dashboard language.

  5. Google AI Overviews GEO engine

    • Opt in to Google AI Overviews on prompts (alongside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) to see whether your brand appears in Google’s AI summary for that query.
    • See when Google did not show an AI Overview (distinct from “brand not mentioned”).
    • Capture the sources Google cited in the Overview, visible in Sources like other engines.
    • Available on entitled plans; off by default so you only spend when you choose AIO prompts.
    • FAQs and marketing pages now describe Google AI Overviews as a live, opt-in engine.
