Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Shopify Product SEO & Listing Quality Audit Find Shopify products with weak titles, thin descriptions, missing product types, sparse tags, weak URL handles, missing images, and other listing quality issues before they hurt search, ads, or marketplace performance. This Actor is for Shopify sellers, agencies, ecommerce operators, collectibles shops, apparel stores, and marketplace sellers that need cleaner product listings for Shopify SEO, Google Shopping, Meta catalogs, eBay, CedCommerce, and other sales channels. ### What it checks - missing, short, long, generic, all-caps, or keyword-stuffed titles - missing or thin product descriptions - missing product type/category - missing vendor/brand - sparse product tags - weak product URL handles - products with no variants - products with no images - listing quality score and top fix per product ### Input ```json { "storeUrl": "https://example.com", "maxProducts": 100, "minDescriptionWords": 40, "minTags": 2, "checkTitleQuality": true, "checkDescriptionQuality": true, "checkHandles": true, "includePassingProducts": false } ```` #### Fields - `storeUrl` — public Shopify storefront URL. - `maxProducts` — maximum products to scan. - `minDescriptionWords` — products below this plain-text description word count are flagged. - `minTags` — products below this tag count are flagged. - `checkTitleQuality` — flag weak title patterns. - `checkDescriptionQuality` — flag missing or thin descriptions. - `checkHandles` — flag weak product URL handles. - `includePassingProducts` — include products with no detected issues. ### Output Dataset row types: - `summary` - `product_seo_audit` - `listing_issue` Example product row: ```json { "recordType": "product_seo_audit", "title": "Pokemon Booster Pack", "url": "https://store.com/products/pokemon-booster-pack", "titleLength": 20, "descriptionWordCount": 8, "tagCount": 1, "hasProductType": false, "hasVendor": true, "score": 54, "grade": "needs_work", "issueCodes": ["thin_description", "missing_product_type", "sparse_tags"], "topFix": "Expand the product description with features, sizing, condition, compatibility, or benefits." } ``` ### Why this matters Weak product listing quality can hurt: - Shopify SEO - Google Shopping and product feed quality - marketplace sync quality - paid ad catalog performance - customer trust - onsite search/filtering - product discovery The Actor does not modify your Shopify store. It reads the public Shopify product catalog endpoint and produces a CSV/API-friendly report. # Actor input Schema ## `storeUrl` (type: `string`): Public Shopify storefront URL, for example https://example.com. ## `maxProducts` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to audit. ## `minDescriptionWords` (type: `integer`): Products with fewer plain-text description words are flagged as thin descriptions. ## `minTags` (type: `integer`): Products with fewer tags are flagged as sparse tagging. ## `checkTitleQuality` (type: `boolean`): Flag titles that are too short, too long, generic, all caps, or keyword-stuffed. ## `checkDescriptionQuality` (type: `boolean`): Flag missing or thin product descriptions. ## `checkHandles` (type: `boolean`): Flag weak product URL handles like numeric-only, default-looking, or overly short handles. ## `includePassingProducts` (type: `boolean`): Include product rows even when no issues were found. ## Actor input object example ```json { "maxProducts": 100, "minDescriptionWords": 40, "minTags": 2, "checkTitleQuality": true, "checkDescriptionQuality": true, "checkHandles": true, "includePassingProducts": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
