Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Analytics Agent's AI-powered analytics for Shopify
Getting Started
How do I install Analytics Agent?
Installation takes less than 2 minutes:
- Click "Install Free on Shopify" from our website
- Authorize the app in your Shopify admin
- Connect your Google Analytics 4 account
- Receive your first insights within 24 hours
- Optional: Start a Pro trial to get Mission Briefs and advanced features
Does it work with my Google Analytics 4?
Yes! Analytics Agent works with any Google Analytics 4 property. We support both Shopify stores with existing GA4 setups and brand new installations.
If you don't have GA4 set up yet, we can help guide you through the process.
Do I need to know how to use Google Analytics?
Not at all. That's the whole point! Analytics Agent reads your GA4 data and delivers insights in plain English. You don't need to log into Google Analytics or understand how it works.
Our AI translates complex data into actionable recommendations you can actually use.
Mission Briefs & AI Insights
What are Mission Briefs and how do they work?
Mission Briefs are AI-generated reports that analyze your store using 6 specialized agents:
- Core Insights Agent — Revenue and key metrics decomposition
- Channels Agent — Traffic source and marketing attribution
- Products Agent — Product gainers and decliners
- Pages Agent — Landing page performance
- Funnel Agent — Conversion funnel analysis
- Geo Agent — Geographic performance patterns
After all agents complete their analysis, a synthesis agent combines and prioritizes their findings into 3-5 actionable insights — the most important things you need to know.
How often can I receive Mission Briefs?
Pro plan users can choose their Mission Brief schedule:
- Daily — Every morning with yesterday's performance
- Weekly — Monday mornings with weekly trends
- Monthly — First of each month with monthly analysis
You can also generate briefs on-demand anytime you want.
What kind of insights will I receive?
Analytics Agent identifies and explains:
- Revenue trends and why they're changing
- Which products are winning and losing
- Traffic source performance and marketing ROI
- Cart abandonment patterns and causes
- Conversion opportunities you're missing
- Geographic trends you can capitalize on
Every insight includes context and a recommended action — not just what happened, but what you should do about it.
Real-Time Anomaly Detection
How does real-time anomaly detection work?
We monitor your store's traffic every 15 minutes, 24/7. Here's how it works:
- We collect your current traffic data from GA4
- We compare it against a 30-day rolling baseline for this specific hour
- If traffic is unusually high, low, or zero, our AI analyzes the anomaly
- We assign a severity score (1-5) and confidence level
- You receive an alert with likely causes and recommended actions
Smart cooldown prevents alert fatigue — you won't get spammed with notifications.
What types of anomalies do you detect?
We detect three types of anomalies:
- Traffic Spikes — Unusual highs (viral moment? press mention?)
- Traffic Drops — Unusual lows (ad paused? site issue?)
- Zero-Traffic Events — Complete outages (site down? tracking broken?)
Each alert includes AI analysis of the likely cause and what you should do next.
GA4 Audit & Configuration
What does the GA4 Audit check?
Our GA4 Audit Agent runs 8 comprehensive checks:
- Enhanced measurement configuration
- Custom dimensions setup
- Custom metrics setup
- Event tracking implementation
- Conversion event configuration
- Property settings
- Data stream configuration
- Overall implementation quality
You get a score from 0-100 and a letter grade (A-F), plus prioritized recommendations for improvement.
Can Analytics Agent actually fix my GA4 configuration?
Yes! Unlike other tools that just report problems, our GA4 Configuration Engine can actually fix them. We have full write access to your GA4 property through the Admin API.
We can apply:
- Enhanced measurement settings
- Conversion event configuration
- Custom dimensions and metrics
- Property optimization settings
Safety features: Every change is logged. Operations won't create duplicates. Rate-limits are handled automatically. You get a complete audit trail.
LLM Traffic & AI Search
What AI platforms does Analytics Agent track?
We track traffic and revenue from 6 major AI platforms:
- ChatGPT
- Claude
- Gemini
- Perplexity
- DeepSeek
- Grok
For each platform, you can see sessions, conversions, revenue, and 90-day trends. Data is collected automatically every week.
Why should I care about AI traffic?
AI assistants are becoming a major traffic source for ecommerce. When someone asks ChatGPT "best yoga mats for beginners" and clicks through to your store, that's AI-driven revenue.
Most merchants have no idea this is happening. Analytics Agent lets you:
- See exactly how much traffic comes from AI platforms
- Track which AI platforms convert best
- Monitor revenue attributed to AI discovery
- Spot trends before your competitors
JSON-LD & SEO
What is JSON-LD and why does it matter?
JSON-LD is structured data that helps Google understand your products. When implemented correctly, it enables rich results in search — showing star ratings, prices, and availability directly in Google results.
This can significantly improve your click-through rates from search. Most Shopify themes implement JSON-LD poorly or not at all.
Can Analytics Agent improve my store's SEO?
Yes! Our JSON-LD Structured Data Audit:
- Automatically crawls your sitemap and pages
- Validates Product, Organization, and BreadcrumbList schemas
- Gives you a quality score (100-point scale, A-F grade)
- Generates AI-improved schema code
- Applies changes to your theme with one click
We also backup your current theme and can restore anytime.
