 "summary": "Shopify app that audits every product for the data AI shopping agents rank on (categories, attributes, barcodes, alt text, variants, policies), maintains llms.txt and agents.md, and on Pro writes the missing fields with one-click revert and tracks placement in AI shopping results. Launched May 2026, no reviews yet.",
 "best_for": "Shopify merchants who want to know how complete their catalogue data is for AI shopping agents and are willing to test an early tool, starting with the free audit before paying for automated fixes",
 "skip_if": "you want a proven, heavily reviewed SEO or feed app today; your catalogue is small enough to fix by hand from the free audit; or you need a published cap on AI usage before you commit",
 "honest_knock": "The budget behind the AI fixes is not published. Pro's automated fixes draw on a monthly token budget the vendor describes only as generous. Its FAQ puts a typical product at about a thousand tokens to enrich once and says the app stops proposing, never mid-write, when you reach the ceiling. For a catalogue of a few hundred products that is unlikely to matter. For tens of thousands of SKUs, or for re-enriching after every catalogue change, ask for the number in writing before you rely on it.\n\nIt is a bet on a channel that is still small. The app prepares your catalogue for AI shopping agents, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, and tracks where your products place in their results. For most stores those agents are not yet a meaningful source of orders, so the rank tracker and the agent-traffic analytics may show very little for a while. The audit is useful regardless, because the fields it checks (categories, attributes, barcodes, alt text, variants, policies) also feed shopping feeds and on-site search.\n\nNobody has reviewed it yet. The app launched on the Shopify App Store on 8 May 2026 and still had zero reviews on 24 September 2026, so there is no outside account of how accurate its generated attributes are. Start in Full Review mode, where every proposal waits for your approval, before you let Full Auto write to your live catalogue.",

  "name": "StoreSEO",
  "why": "StoreSEO is the closest comparison in our own dossiers, and the two now overlap on the newest ground: both generate an llms.txt and an agents.md. StoreSEO (read 19 August 2026) is a conventional Shopify SEO suite metered on products and AI credits: Free covers 25 products and 200 credits, Lite at $14.99 a month covers 100 products and 1,000 credits, Essential at $39.99 covers 250 products and 5,000 credits, with keyword tracking, schema markup and sitemap submission aimed at Google. Bot It scores the whole catalogue for free with no product cap and charges a flat $29 for the fixes, but it aims at AI shopping agents rather than search engines and publishes no usage number. A store whose traffic comes from Google is better served by StoreSEO's ladder; a store that wants every product scored for agent readiness at no cost can start with Bot It's free audit."
