How it sells itself

Search Control checks every product and collection in your store for the problems that keep them out of search results: missing or overlong SEO titles, missing meta descriptions, thin or duplicate text, and images without alt text. Each issue is explained in plain words, and most can be fixed in one click, using your own product names, descriptions and tags.

Improve your Shopify store’s SEO with simple tools to manage key on-page elements. Control product, collection, page, and blog indexing with noindex. Customize canonical tags to help prevent duplicate URLs and consolidate SEO signals. Detect missing image ALT tags and identify opportunities to optimize meta titles and descriptions—all from one place.

Key points
  • See where your catalog stands with a Search Health Score and a clear to-do list
  • Fix SEO titles, meta descriptions and image alt text in one click
  • Put your product tags into the titles and descriptions search engines read
  • Preview every change before it's made, and undo any fix with one click
  • Noindex Management — Control indexing for Products, Collections, Pages, and Blog
  • Canonical Management — Customize rel="canonical" tags across your store.
  • ALT Tag Detection — Find images missing ALT attributes.
  • ALT Tag Optimization — Add descriptive ALT text quickly with AI.
