Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureRankAI SEO reads your store the way a search engine does and shows what to fix first. It scores products, collections, pages and blog posts, then writes SEO titles, meta descriptions, descriptions, FAQs and image alt text from your real store data. You review before and after, edit, and publish only what you approve. Every change can be restored.
RankIQ scans every product, collection, and page in your store and gives you a clear SEO health score with a prioritized list of what to fix — no guesswork. From there, it writes optimized meta titles, descriptions, and image alt text with AI and applies them to your store in one click, or in bulk across your whole catalog.
