Managed AI SearchPreview your site

Questions, answered directly

What Foliora does, controls, measures, and refuses to promise.

AI search is an emerging category. These answers separate product mechanics from third-party outcomes and describe the planned security boundaries plainly.

Product

What does Foliora actually do?

Foliora researches buyer questions and competitors, audits the search foundation, builds exact evidence-backed proposals, publishes approved changes through Shopify or GitHub, verifies the live result, and monitors Google and AI-answer visibility.

Is Foliora an AI SEO tool or an agency?

It is a product with an upgrade path to managed expertise. Starter, Growth, and Scale automate research, monitoring, approvals, and bounded execution. Managed plans add human strategy, review, and custom work.

How is Foliora different from an AI visibility tracker?

Trackers primarily observe prompts and mentions. Foliora connects observations to source evidence, a strategy, exact proposed changes, approval, publishing, verification, and an initiative history.

Does Foliora generate blog posts automatically?

Foliora can draft content, but volume is not the objective. New pages are based on buyer demand and real company evidence, remain reviewable, and require approval before publishing.

Outcomes

Can Foliora guarantee Google rankings or AI citations?

No. Google and AI systems are third parties. Foliora guarantees a controlled research, approval, publishing, and verification process—not inclusion, traffic, citations, or revenue.

How long does AI SEO take to work?

Technical corrections can be verified immediately, but indexing, ranking, authority, and AI citation movement can take weeks or months. Foliora reports leading evidence without presenting short-term movement as a guaranteed outcome.

How are AI citations measured?

Foliora stores a reproducible panel with engine, prompt, market, date, answer, cited URLs, mentions, and competitors. Results are treated as samples with variance rather than a complete census.

Connections

What can Foliora change in Shopify?

The initial scope covers approved product, collection, page, article, metadata, redirect, and app-owned metafield changes. Foliora snapshots affected fields and requests write permissions progressively.

How does Foliora work with Vercel or Cloudflare?

GitHub is the editing surface. Foliora opens a branch and pull request, runs checks, inspects the Vercel or Cloudflare Pages preview, and verifies production after merge.

Do you need customer or order data from Shopify?

Not for the initial citation product. The roadmap intentionally excludes customer and order scopes because they are unnecessary for research, publishing, and search verification.

Safety

Can Foliora publish without approval?

Only low-risk typed actions can eventually be pre-authorized. New pages, redirects, claims, code or theme work, and regulated content require explicit approval in the initial product.

What happens if my team edits a page after Foliora proposes a change?

Foliora re-reads the remote resource before mutation. If it differs from the approved version, the proposal becomes stale instead of overwriting your team's work.

Can a published change be rolled back?

Every execution retains an immutable before-state or Git history. Shopify field changes can be restored; code changes use a revert pull request alongside any deployment rollback.

Pricing

What is included in the free preview?

The planned preview is a bounded scan of 10–20 public pages with foundational findings, sample buyer questions, and three opportunity previews. It does not connect accounts or mutate a site.

Why is Starter limited to three actions?

An action is a versioned, evidence-backed change set—not one field update. The limit keeps infrastructure and review predictable while giving a startup enough capacity to ship meaningful work each month.

When should a company choose Managed?

Choose Managed when the work requires bespoke strategy, expert interviews, custom writing or code review, a large catalog, multiple sites or markets, regulated content, or authority-building beyond the site.

Getting started

How long until I receive a strategy after connecting my site?

The roadmap target is a useful public preview in under five minutes and a first connected strategy within roughly 48 hours. Those are product goals for the beta, not contractual SLA guarantees.

Do I need my own Ahrefs or AI visibility subscription?

No. Ahrefs and other providers are internal research infrastructure. You receive Foliora's evidence, strategy, proposed diffs, verification, and outcome history—not a replicated third-party dashboard.
