## Key features

- **Product SEO with AI:** Scores each product, page and post, previews titles and descriptions before publishing and fixes them in bulk. AI descriptions and blog posts start at Lite.
- **Claude and ChatGPT connector:** A built-in MCP server on every plan lets an AI assistant fix alt text, meta tags and schema in the store; Shopify Sidekick is supported too.
- **Image optimizer:** Compresses and resizes images, writes alt text with AI and renames files for search: 25 images free, 500 on Lite and up to 50,000 on Advanced.

## Good for

- Small Shopify catalogs that fit within the 100- or 250-product plans
- Merchants who want to fix SEO by asking Claude or ChatGPT
- Stores that want rank tracking and schema in the same app

## Worth knowing

- Every plan caps the products it covers, from 25 free to 10,000 on Advanced, so the price follows catalog size.
- Product, FAQ and local business schema, instant indexing and Search Console need Lite; multilingual SEO starts at Growth at $99.99 a month.
- Extra AI credits are top-ups: 5,000 for $10, 25,000 for $50 and 50,000 for $100.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. StoreSEO scores and fixes product, page and blog SEO in Shopify, writes copy with AI credits, adds schema and llms.txt, tracks keywords, and lets Claude or ChatGPT make fixes through its MCP server. Each plan caps the products it covers, so the price follows your catalog: 100 products are $14.99 a month, 1,000 are $99.99.

- **Value for money: C.** Lite is $14.99 a month for up to 100 products, this category's middle price. The price follows your catalog: 250 products is $39.99, and 1,000 is $99.99, which is also where multilingual SEO starts.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** 25 products, 25 images, 200 AI credits and 5 tracked keywords, with the MCP server, llms.txt, AI alt text and sitemaps. Fine for a tiny shop; most catalogs are past 25 products.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace StoreSEO you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $179.88 a year.

- You could make: Schema markup: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
- You could not: A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- You could not: Daily checks of where your pages rank in search results.
- You could not: The same prompts asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers every day, and the answers kept.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Claude among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
