Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureLiveMentions asks AI assistants the questions your shoppers ask and shows whether your store is named. Answers come from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude. It shows which competitors and websites AI relies on, checks every product and the AI crawlers your store lets in, and turns what it finds into a short list of things to do. The app only reads your products. It never changes your store or your theme.
Pulse tracks where ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI, Claude, and Grok cite your products or competitors. It separates store-wide issues from product gaps, explains the evidence, and turns each gap into reviewable Shopify fixes or guided authority work. Merchants approve supported store changes before publication and can record implementation evidence without treating projections as confirmed outcomes.
