How the scan works

What happens when Pulse scans your store: the deep scan on signup, what it checks, and the weekly and monthly cadence that follows.

Docs / Getting started

Pulse reads your store the way an AI shopping agent would — then asks real assistants about you and records what they say.

The deep scan on signup

The moment you subscribe, Pulse runs its deepest scan: every product audited the way an AI buyer agent reads it, a live test of how each assistant answers questions in your category, and a side-by-side with the competitors those assistants actually name. It ends with a readiness score and a prioritized list of fixes for your platform.

What we check

The scan looks at both sides of visibility: whether your store is machine-readable — product schema, catalog feed, policies, AI-crawler access, llms.txt, barcodes — and how the assistants actually describe and rank you when a shopper asks.

Weekly checks and monthly deep scans

After the first scan, Pulse keeps watching automatically — a light visibility check every week and a full deep scan every month. If a check fails, it's retried quietly, so you only hear about real movement, not noise. Every change lands in a feed that explains what it means, and your weekly pulse and monthly digest emails lead with this week's one move — the top fix you haven't checked off yet — linked straight to it.
