How it sells itself

Catalog Dog runs inside Shopify Admin and audits your product catalog for missing SEO, weak titles, image ALT text gaps, variant data issues, and Google Merchant readiness problems. Each issue shows estimated revenue impact so you fix what matters first. Apply one-click fixes for common fields, run incremental re-scans, and use AI suggestions for titles and descriptions.

CatalogGuard helps merchants review product catalogue completeness from within Shopify Admin. It scans product information using read-only access, identifies common issues, and organises findings by severity and type. Merchants can open affected products in Shopify, make corrections, and run another scan to verify changes and refresh their catalogue health score. CatalogGuard does not modify product data.

Key points
  • Health Score tracks overall catalog quality with history over time
  • 79+ automated checks across products, SEO, images, variants, and inventory
  • Revenue Impact estimates lost sales so you prioritize the highest-value fixes
  • One-click fixes for titles, SEO fields, ALT text, SKU, barcode, and handles
  • Scan product listings for missing information and common catalogue issues
  • View a clear health score for your latest catalogue scan
  • Prioritise findings by severity, issue type, and affected product
  • Open affected products directly in Shopify while keeping findings available

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
