It analyzes store data to generate AI-powered weekly summaries, prioritized action plans, and product SEO recommendations — all inside your Shopify admin.

CatalogPulse helps merchants evaluate product visibility in Shopify's Global Catalog without changing storefront content.

Catalog-readiness scores highlight missing titles, descriptions, categories, product types, search metadata, identifiers, and attributes.

  • Smart SEO recommendations for product metadata and search presentation
