See every featureCatalogPulse helps merchants evaluate product visibility in Shopify's Global Catalog without changing storefront content. Run buyer-intent queries, review sampled catalog results, and compare the query with active product data. Catalog-readiness scores highlight missing titles, descriptions, categories, product types, search metadata, identifiers, and attributes.
QueryGap analyzes high-intent shopping searches to show where products appear, where they are missing, and which competing stores occupy the results. Measure shelf share, Top-3 visibility, and average position, then monitor changes over time. Growth adds prioritized Opportunity Intelligence; Scale adds query, competitor, and historical forensics with CSV exports. Share read-only reports with your team.
