How it sells itself

Selling in several languages or markets? One wrong hreflang tag, a redirecting alternate or a canonical pointing at the wrong language can keep your translated pages out of Google. Markets SEO Health Check reads the languages and markets you publish in Shopify, crawls your storefront like a search engine, and lists every problem with the affected URLs and a plain-English fix.

Your translation app says a language is published. Locale Proof checks whether that is true from where Google stands — and keeps checking, because it re-breaks with every new product, theme update and market. It finds pages left untranslated after a theme update or a new product, English text sitting on a German page, dead localised URLs you advertise, one-way hreflang, canonicals that cancel your languages, and…

Key points
  • Audit hreflang, canonical, noindex, sitemap and robots.txt across all markets
  • Compares published Shopify languages/markets with what Google actually sees
  • Every issue explained with affected URLs and a step-by-step fix
  • Brand llms.txt served on your store, generated from collections and policies
  • Dead localised URLs, one-way hreflang, canonicals that cancel your languages
  • Published languages your storefront hides — put them back in one click
  • Never writes your translations. Dated, append-only evidence log, with export
