Titles without enough context
Short, vague, or missing product titles appear as 'Untitled' in Google and Shopify search — losing both click-through rate and conversion. CatalogBeacon flags these first and orders them by recent store revenue.
SHOPIFY APP · CATALOG SEO AUDIT
Find catalog SEO issues with revenue context — and approve every fix before it goes live.
CatalogBeacon scans your entire catalog for thin descriptions, missing titles, empty or generic alt text, duplicate handles, and broken prices — then ranks every issue by recent revenue impact so you know what to fix first.
AI-generated drafts land in a review panel where you edit, compare, and approve each one before anything touches your store.

WHY CATALOG SEO MATTERS
Every unchecked product page creates more review work later.
Catalog problems accumulate silently. Products are imported in batches, edited by different team members, and forgotten after launch. CatalogBeacon gives you a single dashboard that shows exactly which product pages need SEO and quality review, with recent revenue context to help your team decide what to handle first.
Descriptions that need review
Thin or empty descriptions fail the questions shoppers actually ask: what is it made of, does it fit, how do I care for it? CatalogBeacon surfaces product pages where the copy is too short to answer those questions and support clear discovery.
Alt text gaps and vague labels
Missing, repeated, or generic alt text removes image context for both shoppers and search systems. CatalogBeacon flags these gaps so you can review specific wording before updating Shopify.
HOW CATALOGBEACON WORKS
Scan, prioritize, draft, approve — a controlled catalog workflow.
Full catalog audit in one click
Scan every active product across titles, descriptions, images, alt text, handles, prices, and inventory. Async bulk scans are designed for large catalogs without blocking the admin workflow.
Ranked by lost revenue, not alphabetically
CatalogBeacon sorts every issue with recent 30-day order context. Start with the products that matter most to the store instead of working through SKUs in A–Z order.
AI copy drafts you review first
Batch-generate title and description suggestions with fair queue scheduling. Every draft lands in a review panel where you can edit, compare with the original, and approve individually.
Nothing writes back without you
Every Shopify write requires your explicit approval. Every approved change is logged with a timestamp and the original value — full audit trail, zero auto-writes.
HOW IT WORKS
Four steps from scan to safer catalog.
CatalogBeacon is a controlled loop — not an automatic AI writer. Every scan is read-only. Every Shopify write requires your explicit approval. Every change is logged with the original value saved.
Install and connect your store
Install through the early-access Shopify flow. Grant catalog access so CatalogBeacon can scan products before any write action is requested.
Run your first catalog scan
CatalogBeacon checks every active product against deterministic SEO and quality rules. See results ranked by revenue exposure in under a minute.
Review issues and generate AI drafts
Work through the prioritized issue list. For copy problems, generate title and description suggestions. For alt text gaps, review the recommended wording before updating Shopify.
Approve only what you want, then verify
Select the drafts you want applied. Re-scan anytime to confirm the fix landed and the issue is resolved. Every change is logged.

Answers merchants look for before installing.
Does CatalogBeacon automatically change my products?
Never. Every scan is read-only and never writes to your store. When you choose to fix an issue, CatalogBeacon prepares an AI draft that you review, edit, and approve before anything reaches Shopify. You control every change.
Is my store data safe?
Yes. CatalogBeacon requests the minimum Shopify API scopes needed to read your product catalog. We do not store your product data on our servers — scans run inside your Shopify admin session. Full audit trail records every approved change so you can revert anytime.
How long does a full catalog scan take?
A scan of 500 products takes ~20 seconds. For larger catalogs, CatalogBeacon uses Shopify's bulk operation API to process thousands of products asynchronously — you'll get a notification when it's done, and you can keep working in the meantime.
What SEO problems does it actually find?
Missing or short product titles, thin descriptions, missing, repeated, or generic image alt text, duplicate product handles, missing prices, and products with zero images. Each issue includes a specific recommendation and is prioritized with recent 30-day revenue context.
Do I need SEO expertise to use this?
No. CatalogBeacon uses deterministic rules to flag catalog problems that deserve review. Every issue comes with a plain-language explanation and a specific recommendation. AI creates editable suggestions; you decide what, if anything, is written back.
Which Shopify plans does it support?
CatalogBeacon works on all Shopify plans that support custom apps — Basic, Shopify, Advanced, and Plus. It also works on development stores for testing before you install on a live store.
