Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAI shopping assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI recommend products based on how complete your product data is. Basic Shopify Catalog eligibility (title, image, price, status) is a separate, narrower check. This app scans your catalog with fixed rules, showing exactly which products are missing information AI needs, starting with your most-affected products.
Most SEO tools score you for Google. SEO Checkup scores you twice — once for Google, once for AI search — because the two often disagree. A store Google is happy with can still be invisible when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for products like yours. 34 checks across your products, blog posts and site settings name the exact products affected and what to change.
