Missing alt text, blank SKUs, thin descriptions, duplicate images — none of them throw errors, all of them cost conversions, SEO, and ad performance. Kernvel Catalog Audit grades your whole catalog and turns the gaps into an ordered cleanup list.
Products without meta descriptions, alt text, or real body copy rank worse and convert worse — and nothing in Shopify flags them for you.
Blank SKUs and duplicate barcodes break inventory workflows, 3PL handoffs, and reporting long before anyone traces the cause back to catalog data.
At 50 products you'd spot the gaps by eye. At 500, nobody opens every product — the audit does, on every scan.
Best for growing catalogs, merchandising QA, and SEO cleanups. Every feature below ships in the free app — there are no paid tiers.
One severity-weighted score and grade for the whole catalog, plus per-category sub-scores so you can see exactly which area drags you down.
Media, identifiers, descriptions, taxonomy, and variants — each with its own checks, its own score, and its own progress bar. Turn off any category that doesn't apply to your business.
Every finding clustered by severity and rule with example products deep-linked into your admin, severity and rule filters, and persistent snooze.
Don't track barcodes, SKUs, or unit costs? Flip a setting and those rules stop counting. Tune the thin-description threshold to your own copy standards.
Score history, per-category health over time, fixed-vs-new deltas between scans, and a most-common-issues leaderboard.
Send any fix list to a spreadsheet, or get the score, delta, and top issues in your inbox weekly.
One click reads every product — media, identifiers, descriptions, taxonomy, and variants — with zero configuration.
The list is already prioritized. Work from the top, deep-link into each product, and snooze what you've decided to accept.
Re-scan after cleanups, watch category scores rise, and let the weekly digest catch regressions before they pile up.
No plans, no feature gates, no surprise charges. These tools are how we earn trust with merchants — and every one includes a free concierge setup call with our team.
No subscription, no usage caps, no premium tier hiding the good parts. The app you install is the whole app.
Rule-based and deterministic — no AI black boxes. You can always see exactly why the app did what it did.
No shopper profiling, aggregate-only counters, minimal Shopify permissions, and data that cleans up after itself.
No. It's strictly read-only — the app grades and links, you edit in your own admin. Nothing is ever written to your store.
No — turn off the barcode requirement (same for SKUs and unit cost) and the score reflects the fields you actually use.
They're complementary. Catalog Audit grades general data quality for SEO, operations, and merchandising; Product Feed Audit checks Google and Meta ad-feed compliance specifically. Many stores run both.
Everything — full scans, all five categories, trends, CSV, the digest. No plans, no limits.
Every Kernvel Free Tool comes with a free concierge setup — a 15-minute call where our team configures the app for your store. That's the whole pitch: useful tools, set up properly, no invoice.
