Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSEO never ends, so AutoRank keeps doing it for you. Give it a keyword and it plans a topic cluster, writes each post in your brand voice with FAQs, images and product links, and publishes on your schedule. Search Console results tell it which posts to expand, refresh or retitle next. It writes missing meta tags and alt text, compresses images, adds schema, llms.txt and 404 redirects, and tracks your rankings.
CatalogRank audits your store and uses AI to fix common SEO and accessibility issues. It writes descriptive image alt text and SEO titles and meta descriptions built from your own product details. It fixes vague and icon-only links so screen readers and shoppers can follow them, compresses images so pages load faster, and adds structured data that helps search engines read your pages.
