How it sells itself

AD Ready Store Auditor reviews the store signals merchants should check before sending paid traffic to their site. It scans product quality, store policies, contact information, shipping and returns, and storefront trust. Merchants receive an Ad Ready Score and organized reports that explain detected issues, where to address them in Shopify, and which fixes to prioritize.

Your store just broke. Which app did it? Every app you add can change your theme. When something goes wrong, you can lose days guessing, uninstalling apps one by one and waiting on support while sales slip away. MacSleuth is your store’s detective. It backs up your theme, tracks every change apps make, names the app most likely behind it, and finds hidden code left by apps you deleted long ago.

Key points
  • Scan product, policy, contact, shipping, and storefront readiness
  • Review an Ad Ready Score with prioritized issues and warnings
  • Open category reports with explanations and recommended fixes
  • See affected products and where to address issues in Shopify
  • Ongoing monitoring for brand misuse and impersonation risks
  • Detection of trust-related issues that may impact store credibility
  • Alerts when potential issues require merchant attention
  • Centralised view of monitoring status and findings
