Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureDropInBlog replaces the built-in Shopify blog with one made for SEO and AI search. It takes on your store's design automatically, so posts look like part of your site from day one. Every post gets schema markup, and as you write, the SEO Analyzer and Mention Boost show how to rank in Google and get mentioned by AI. Customize your URL structure, use multiple categories, and add author profiles without staff accounts.
You write your own blog posts and feature your products in them. But Shopify's standard reports can't show which article led to an order, so what to write next is guesswork. SwirlKit Blog adds product cards to the posts you already have and reports revenue per article. No rewriting, no AI-generated content, no replacing your blog. A like button captures reader reactions, already running on a real store.
- In less than 3 minutes, you’ll have a live blog with SEO & CRO optimized design.
- Blog Voice AI turns your posts into podcast-like experiences (text-to-speech).
- As-you-type SEO Analyzer gives instant feedback on search engine optimization.
- Embed products and create shoppable blog posts with add-to-cart buttons.
- どの記事が読者に刺さるか一目でわかり、コンテンツ戦略の迷いがなくなります
- 著者の顔が見えると信頼が生まれ、読者のブランドへの愛着が育ちます
- 読み終わる前に購入ページへ誘導。「紹介したのに買われない」を解消します
- 目次自動生成で長文記事も最後まで読まれる構造が整います
