How it sells itself

Merivirta AI Optimizer reads each product as a whole and writes a new title, description, SEO title and meta description, plus image alt text, a clean URL with a redirect, and a short summary with key highlights. A preview that looks like your store shows the page before and after, and you apply only what you approve. Optimize one product or the whole catalog, follow each job and undo a run if needed.

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
  • See your product page before and after, side by side, as it looks in your store
  • Rewrite titles, descriptions, SEO titles and meta descriptions with AI
  • Add image alt text, a short summary and key highlights for your theme
  • Clean up product URLs with an automatic redirect from the old address
  • 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
