How it sells itself

Most stores leave their meta titles and descriptions blank, so search engines just guess. AI SEO Audit scans your whole catalog (products, collections, pages and blog posts) against ~50 checks and scores every page, so you see what's missing. Then it writes and applies the fixes: meta titles and descriptions, product and collection copy, image alt text, and product type, tags and category.

Search Control checks every product and collection in your store for the problems that keep them out of search results: missing or overlong SEO titles, missing meta descriptions, thin or duplicate text, and images without alt text. Each issue is explained in plain words, and most can be fixed in one click, using your own product names, descriptions and tags.

Key points
  • Per-product SEO audit with a 0–100 health score so you know what to fix first.
  • One-click meta description fixes written straight back to your products.
  • Runs natively in your Shopify admin with minimal permissions, no data stored.
  • A clear checklist of on-page SEO issues per product: titles, meta and content.
  • See where your catalog stands with a Search Health Score and a clear to-do list
  • Fix SEO titles, meta descriptions and image alt text in one click
  • Put your product tags into the titles and descriptions search engines read
  • Preview every change before it's made, and undo any fix with one click
