Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMarkets emits one hreflang tag for every market and language pair, including irrelevant ones. Google indexes these alternates, dilutes the hreflang signal across the catalog, and may serve the wrong version to international visitors. Hreflang Cleaner replaces them with a matrix you control: you check the pairs that make SEO sense, the app injects exactly those tags into the head of every storefront page.
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…
- One tag per market × language pair — you choose, the app delivers
- Full page coverage — product, collection, cart, search, policies
- Test mode with zero SEO impact — preview before you publish
- Built for large catalogs — tested up to 200,000+ resources
- 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
