Store Health Audit

/audit-store  Checks the 20 things that quietly hurt sales, from missing meta descriptions to untracked inventory, and ranks the fixes.

Add to Sidekick

Add opens your Shopify admin with the skill prefilled; review it there and click Add. If nothing appears, use Copy and follow the steps below.

The skill

Suggested shortcut: /audit-store
Audit my store's health.

## Steps
1. Check and count: products without a description, without images, without alt text, without a product category, without cost per item, with inventory tracking off, and with zero stock but still visible.
2. Check: collections without descriptions; products and collections without SEO title or meta description; policies missing (shipping, returns, privacy, terms); contact page present; announcement bar text stale (mentions a past date or inactive offer).
3. Check settings: free-shipping rule exists; abandoned checkout email on; customer accounts mode; at least two payment methods; store currency and markets consistent with top customer countries.
4. Rank every failing check by likely impact on sales (high, medium, low) with a one-line reason and the skill or setting that fixes it.

## Output
A table: check, result, impact, fix. Then a three-line summary of the top three fixes.

How to add it to Sidekick
  1. Click Add to Sidekick above. Your Shopify admin opens with the skill ready to review. Click Add. Done.

  3. To run it, type /audit-store in Sidekick. Sidekick keeps up to 25 skills; manage yours from the skills menu.

What you get

A prioritized fix list from twenty checks that take hours by hand. Each row names the fix, and many map to a skill in this library.

When to use it

Before launch, before peak season, and after a big catalog import.

Variations

  • “Only catalog checks” for a quick content pass.
  • Follow up with /meta-tags, /alt-text and /fix-categories for the fixes.

Limits

Sidekick checks settings and data, not page speed or design. Use a page-speed tool for performance.

Status: Written for Sidekick but not yet run on a live store. Results may need a second prompt. Time saved: about 2 hours.
