Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAI assistants already send shoppers to stores, but they only cite products they can actually read. Citable turns every product page into a clean, structured answer: FAQ and specs blocks for shoppers, enriched Product and FAQPage structured data, and an auto-generated llms.txt catalog for AI crawlers. The AI Readiness Score shows exactly what each product is missing and how to fix it.
Shoppers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity what to buy, and they answer from Shopify's Global Catalog. Cited measures whether your products surface for the buying questions that matter and shows where competitors outrank you. It rewrites a product's title, tags and description for how AI retrieves products — applied to your catalog in one click, no theme edits or exports.
- Optimize your whole catalog with AI in one click: grounded, editable FAQs
- AI Readiness Score per product with an actionable fix-it checklist
- FAQ accordion, specs table and AI schema blocks, styled in the theme editor
- Measure if AI assistants recommend your products for real buying questions
- See which competitors win the buying questions you're missing
- One-click catalog optimization applied natively — no theme edits or exports

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 14, 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.
