Shopify store audit for Google Shopping

Shopify handles the basics well, which makes the remaining gaps easy to miss.

Shopify gives you a solid default, and defaults are exactly where problems hide. Variant structure, identifier coverage and app generated markup are the areas where otherwise healthy Shopify stores lose visibility. Webshop Vitals audits the rendered storefront, so apps and theme customisations are included.

Free scan, no credit card, results in minutes.

Severity
  • High1 store

    We could not find a return or refund policy page

    No return or refund policy page was reachable from the homepage or at the conventional URLs we checked.

    TRUST_RETURNS_MISSING
  • High11 products

    Products are missing a product identifier

    Branded items without a GTIN or MPN are limited by Google rather than disapproved, so the loss is invisible.

    PD_IDENTIFIER_MISSING
  • Medium24 products

    Shipping information is not machine readable

    Delivery details appear in page text only, so they cannot be surfaced in results.

The problem

Good defaults are not complete defaults

The platform emits reasonable markup for a simple product. Catalogues are not simple. Variants, bundles, preorders and apps that inject their own markup all sit outside the default path, and that is where the gaps appear.

  • Variants competing against each other rather than grouping
  • Identifier fields left empty across whole collections
  • Apps adding markup that conflicts with the theme
  • Sale prices that do not carry into structured data

What we check

Inside the shopify google shopping audit

Every check below runs on your real store and reports findings you can act on, with the affected products named.

  • Variant grouping

    Whether variants declare an item group so they are understood as one product family.

  • Identifier coverage

    Barcode and brand fields checked across the catalogue, including collections that were bulk imported.

  • App injected markup

    Additional Product entities added by apps, and whether they agree with the theme.

  • Sale price carry through

    Whether a discounted price reaches structured data or only the visible page.

  • Collection page structure

    Whether category pages help discovery or dilute it.

Use this as your own checklist

How it works

Three steps from question to answer

No plugin to install, no code to add, and nothing to change on your store.

  1. 1

    Detect the platform

    The audit recognises Shopify and checks the things that platform gets wrong most often.

  2. 2

    Crawl the storefront

    Rendered pages, so apps and theme customisations are included in what is measured.

  3. 3

    Report by collection

    Findings roll up so a bulk import problem shows as one issue and not four hundred.

The report

What this check looks like in your dashboard

Findings land next to the score they moved and the products they affect, so a result always has somewhere to go next.

What you get

What changes after the first scan

Concrete outputs, not a grade with no next step.

  • Variant families structured so they stop competing with each other
  • Identifier gaps found per collection rather than per product
  • App conflicts surfaced before they cause disapprovals
  • A clear view of what the storefront actually renders

Questions

Shopify Google Shopping Audit questions, answered

The things merchants ask before they run their first scan.

No. The audit runs from outside your store like a search engine, so there is nothing to install and no permissions to grant to your storefront.
