How it sells itself

Ironclad SEO helps your store get found on Google and AI search (ChatGPT, Gemini), safely, with every change previewed and reversible. Scan your products and collections for missing titles, descriptions, image alt text and duplicates, then fix them with a live Google preview. Every change shows a before-and-after preview and can be undone in one click, and nothing you've written is ever overwritten.

RankEscalator SEO helps you find and fix on-page SEO issues across products, collections, pages and blog posts. Edit titles and meta descriptions with Google and social previews, work through a prioritized issues list, and update many items at once with templates or CSV import. Add structured data, breadcrumbs and related links through theme app embeds, manage redirects and check your live storefront.

Key points
  • One-click SEO audit of products and collections, in plain English
  • Edit search titles and descriptions with a live Google preview
  • Bulk-fill missing search titles and image alt text safely
  • Structured data for rich results, via a theme app embed
  • Edit SEO titles, meta descriptions and URLs with Google and social previews
  • Find and fix issues with an SEO health score, readability and keyphrase checks
  • Update in bulk with templates, find and replace, CSV import and alt text
  • Add structured data, breadcrumbs and related links without editing theme code
