How to Setup

To begin optimizing your store's data, you must first complete the installation and initial data synchronization. There are three main phases to getting started: Installation, Category Audit, and Description Audit.

Phase 1: Installation and Initialization

The initial setup ensures that the AI has access to your latest product information.

1. Access the App Store: Log in to your Shopify admin, navigate to the "Apps" menu, and select "Shopify App Store".
2. Search for the App: Enter "GEOly: Catalog Optimization" in the search bar.
3. Install and Authorize: Click the "Install" button and confirm the necessary permissions to complete the authorization process.
4. Sync Data: Once installed, enter the app Dashboard. Under the "Optimize your store in 3 steps" section, click the Sync Data button.
   • Note: This step fetches the latest product data from your Shopify database to ensure consistency.
5. Wait for Completion: Monitor the progress bar until it finishes; the Dashboard will then display your current synchronization status.

Phase 2: Product Category Audit Setup

This section allows you to automatically map your products to international standard taxonomies.

1. Enter Audit Page: Select the audit option from the left-hand menu.
2. Select Products: Click the "Select Products" tab and choose the items you wish to optimize from the list.
3. Submit Tasks: Click the "Audit Selected" button at the top or bottom of the page.
4. AI Analysis: A pop-up will indicate that the jobs are queued (e.g., "5 audit jobs queued").
   • The status will change to PENDING as the AI provides suggested categories and confidence levels.
5. Apply Optimization: Review and select the products with suggestions, then click the Accept button.
6. Verification: Once the status changes to SYNCED, the Dashboard progress bar will reflect the completion.
