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.

SEO AI scans every product, page, and blog post for SEO issues and fixes them automatically with AI-rewritten titles, descriptions, and content. It also compresses images, generates AI ALT text and structured data, and connects to Google Search Console and Analytics so merchants can see real ranking and traffic impact.

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
  • Scan your store for SEO issues and fix them automatically with AI
  • Rewrite product titles, descriptions, and content with AI in one click
  • Compress images, add AI-generated ALT text, and remove duplicates
  • Generate structured data (schema markup) with no theme coding required
