Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWhen someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity for a product recommendation, your listings need to show up. Most Shopify products aren't built for AI — they're missing the structured data and language that AI agents need. Beaconed scores every product across 12 categories, generates optimized titles, descriptions, meta tags, and alt text, then lets you review and push changes to Shopify with one click.
Carve analyzes every product in your Shopify catalog and scores it on three dimensions: identifiability, answerability, and decidability. The app generates a Carve Score from 0 to 100 for each product and for your store overall, then suggests specific rewrites to titles, descriptions, and structured fields.
