Changelog

What's shipped, in the order it shipped.

July 16, 2026

Honest pricing, an internal admin dashboard, and a proper FAQ block

  • Rebuilt plan limits around real usage cost — Competitor Spy moved from an unmetered daily background scan to a manual, monthly-capped re-scan; Rank Tracking gained the daily automatic check it was always supposed to have.
  • Added usage limits to Keyword Research and Google Shopping re-checks, and closed a gap where AI content generation had no real monthly cap on the Free plan.
  • Added oversized product image detection to the Alt Text tab — flags source images far larger than anything your theme actually displays.
  • Added configurable image filename templates (Settings), so renamed images follow your own naming convention, not a fixed pattern.
  • Replaced the FAQ Generator's old approach (pasting FAQs into the product description) with a real theme app extension block — FAQs now render styled to match your theme, added once through the Theme Editor.
  • Added a truthful "SEO Improvement Timeline" to the dashboard — every stage reflects real, verifiable data (your actual checklist progress, real Search Console/rank/traffic connections), never a blanket "done" claim.
  • Added an optional weekly summary email with your SEO score trend and open issue count.

Focus Keywords rebuilt, navigation consolidated

  • Rebuilt Focus Keywords from a 3-check tool into a full ~14-check on-page analyzer covering title, description, heading, body content, image alt text, filenames, URL slug, and keyword cannibalization across your store.
  • Merged Focus Keywords into Content, and Meta Tags/Alt Text/Social Preview into Site Audit — same features, two fewer items in the side navigation.
  • Fixed the generic-filename detector to catch supplier/scraper-sourced image names (not just camera-default names like IMG_1234) and stock-photo names that don't describe the actual product.
  • Fixed meta title/description checks to correctly account for Shopify's own fallback behavior — a product without a custom SEO title still has a real, non-blank title on the live page, and the audit now reflects that accurately instead of over-reporting missing tags.
July 13–14, 2026

Competitor Spy, Google Shopping, and AI Search visibility

  • Added Competitor Spy — add a competitor's domain to see their ranked keywords, top pages, and keyword gaps where they outrank you.
  • Added Google Shopping visibility checking — real, live Google Shopping searches to see whether your products actually show up.
  • Added AI Search visibility — asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity live questions and shows whether they mention your store, with real citations.
  • Added an in-app Updates & Feedback panel for announcements and feature requests.
July 12, 2026

  • Added Google account connection (Search Console + Analytics) for real search and traffic data inside the app.
