Here you'll find answers to the most important questions about Beconova. If your question isn't listed, please contact us.
Beconova is a platform that makes your products and services visible to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. We prepare your data so that AI systems can understand it and recommend it to your customers.
More and more people are using AI assistants instead of search engines to find products and services. According to Gartner, traditional search volume will decline by 25% by 2026 as AI assistants take over.
Without structured, AI-readable data, you don't exist for these systems – and lose potential customers to competitors every day.
Beconova connects to your shop or website and automatically converts your data into an AI-understandable format. We use standards like Schema.org, JSON-LD, and special AI protocols.
AI assistants can then access this data and may use it when answering relevant questions when users ask relevant questions.
Beconova is perfect for:
Our prices start at €59/month for e-commerce (up to 50 products) and €59/month for service providers (up to 5 services). Final prices. No VAT charged (small business regulation §19 UStG). Extra capacity can be added flexibly in the dashboard.
View all prices →We do not offer a trial period. Instead, you have a 30-day return policy for the first month after initial registration. A processing fee of EUR 9 (net) is deducted from the refund. Additionally, a pro-rated daily amount (monthly price ÷ 30) is deducted for each day of use. The return policy only applies to new customers – re-registration after cancellation does not qualify. Note: Agency accounts (agency plans) are excluded from the return policy.
Yes, you can cancel monthly. There is no minimum contract period or hidden fees. You can cancel anytime with one click in the dashboard.

We accept credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and payment by invoice.
All displayed prices are final prices. In accordance with §19 UStG (small business regulation), no value-added tax is charged.
Setup typically takes 5-10 minutes. You connect your shop or website, insert a code snippet – and you're live. Our setup wizard guides you step by step through the process.

We support all common e-commerce platforms:
For Shopify and WooCommerce, simply install our app/plugin – no code changes needed. For custom shops, you insert a small JavaScript snippet into your website (similar to Google Analytics). We provide detailed instructions.
First technical changes (Schema.org, llms.txt, crawler access) take effect within 24-48 hours. Full impact develops over the first 2-4 weeks as AI systems fully index your data.
Beconova makes your data visible to all major AI assistants:
Yes! Our dashboard shows you how often AI assistants access your data, updated daily. You see the number of accesses per day/week/month, which AI systems are accessing, and which products are retrieved most frequently.
The Quality Score is a rating from 0-100 points that shows how well your data is optimized for AI systems. We automatically check if all important information is present (images, descriptions, prices, etc.) and provide concrete improvement suggestions.
Yes! Beconova continuously synchronizes your data. Price changes, new products, or inventory updates are automatically adopted. You don't need to manually update anything.
Yes, starting with the Pro plan you have full API access. You can programmatically retrieve, update, and export data. The API is fully documented and supports REST with JSON responses.
Our 8-layer analysis combines rule-based checks with cross-engine comparisons. Through parallel analysis across multiple AI platforms, even subtle contradictions are detected that individual checks would miss. More details on the Hallucination Detection page.

All data is stored exclusively on servers in Germany. We use German data centers with the highest security standards. There is no transfer to third countries.

Manual AI optimization requires expertise in Schema.org, SSR feeds, crawler management and regular monitoring of plan-enabled AI providers. Beconova automates all of this and saves an average of 20+ hours per month.
The AI SEO analysis is a core feature of Beconova that measures how well your products and services can be found, understood, mentioned, or cited by plan-enabled AI providers. You receive a detailed AI SEO Score (0-100), concrete optimization suggestions, and continuous monitoring of your AI presence.
The AI SEO Scanner automatically analyzes your website and detects products, services, structured data, and technical SEO signals. It checks your site for AI readiness, identifies missing Schema.org markups, and creates a comprehensive report with an AI Readiness Score. Depending on your plan, 5 to 100 pages are analyzed.
Beconova monitors the AI providers enabled for your plan and separates measured channels from the technical provider registry:
AI SEO starts at EUR 59/month and can be added to any existing plan. The tiers include 10/40/75 analyses per month and 25/100/300 keywords. Extra analyses are priced transparently: 10 additional analyses cost EUR 25 (Starter), EUR 15 (Professional), or EUR 29 (Enterprise) per month.
Yes! AI SEO is compatible with all plans - whether E-Commerce, Service, or Hybrid. You can activate it at any time through your dashboard. Billing is prorated to your existing billing cycle.
