Switch from Google Optimize to Eevy AI
Google Optimize shut down in September 2023. Get automated, AI-powered layout testing without the manual experiment setup.
Why Switch from Google Optimize?
Google Optimize was a free A/B testing tool that allowed merchants to test page variations. Since its shutdown in September 2023, many Shopify stores have been running without any optimization — accepting whatever default layout their theme or review app provides without testing alternatives.
Eevy AI fills the optimization gap specifically for review and social proof sections — the highest-impact elements on your product pages. Unlike Google Optimize which required manual experiment setup, hypothesis creation, and variant building, Eevy AI's genetic algorithm automatically generates and tests layout variations. You do not need to be a CRO expert to benefit from continuous optimization.
Migration Steps
