See every featureIronclad 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.
SEO suites, AI tools and bulk editors can overwrite your meta titles, descriptions, alt-text and tags in minutes - with no native way to undo it. SEO Vault is your safety net: a daily snapshot of every SEO field (products and collections), real-time change detection, an email alert the moment a mass-change hits with the likely culprit app, and one-click restore to yesterday. CSV export keeps your data portable.
