The Opportunity

An app that audits an early-stage Shopify store and highlights the highest-impact fixes likely to improve conversion before the merchant spends more time redesigning. It would prioritize product page clarity, trust signals, CTA visibility, mobile usability, and checkout friction.

"The merchant is getting traffic but not converting, and does not know whether the issue is theme/design or broader store optimization."
