The challenge
SEO was a bottleneck for growing catalogs
Merchants struggle with SEO optimization—thousands of products with weak meta tags, thin descriptions, and no time for keyword research.
- Manual meta writing does not scale
- Inconsistent tone and keyword targeting
- No data-driven prioritization of pages to fix
Our solution
Approach & timeline
AI-powered meta tag and content generator using OpenAI, with merchant review queues and bulk apply via Shopify GraphQL.
8 weeks including AI prompt tuning and bulk GraphQL mutations
Why Next.js
App Router and API routes host the embedded admin UI and secure OpenAI proxy—keeping API keys off the client.
Why Shopify GraphQL
Bulk productUpdate mutations and metafields scale to large catalogs without REST rate-limit pain.
OpenAI integration
Structured JSON outputs with Zod validation, token budgeting per batch, and cached prompts per product type.
