I’m planning to record a YouTube video for my channel showing how to use Claude to analyze and audit an entire Shopify store.
If you have a store you’d be willing to have featured, I’d love to use it for the demo! Just note that the store would be shown on camera in the video, so I’ll need your agreement to that beforehand.
Once the video’s done, I’ll send you the full audit Claude generates as a thank-you.
Let me know if you’re interested!
Thanks!
EDIT: This will be a front-end audit only. For example, I will show you how to setup claude to look at your website (on the front-end, compare it to your competitors, check how the UX/UI can be improved etc) and then go from there. I DO NOT NEED ACCESS TO YOUR SHOPIFY ADMIN.
I would like to do this on a real store and not my demo store if possible
Hi @alexliquid This sounds like a cool idea, curious to see how it turns out. Claude going through a full store audit (theme setup, apps, SEO basics, conversion stuff) could genuinely help a lot of merchants who don’t know where to even start looking. Will keep an eye out for the video when it drops.
Thanks for offering this to the community. It sounds like a useful way to demonstrate how Claude can analyze a Shopify store in a real world scenario.
For anyone considering participating, I’d recommend confirming in advance exactly what will be shown in the video and making sure you’re comfortable with your storefront being featured publicly. It’s also a good idea to ensure that no confidential information is visible during the recording.
Receiving the AI generated audit afterward is a nice bonus, but it’s worth reviewing the recommendations carefully and evaluating them against your own business goals before making any changes.
If you found my reply helpful, feel free to mark it as the accepted solution so it can help other merchants following this discussion.
This sounds like a great way to showcase Claude’s capabilities while providing value to a store owner.
If you’re looking for useful feedback from participants, I’d suggest sharing what the audit will cover. For example, SEO, site speed, UX, navigation, product pages, conversion optimization, accessibility, and technical issues. That helps merchants understand what they’ll get in return for having their store featured.
It would also be a good idea to clarify:
Whether you’ll review live stores only or development stores as well.
Whether the audit will be shared publicly in full or only the parts shown in the video.
Whether participants will have a chance to review the video before it’s published.
Being transparent about the scope and obtaining explicit permission to feature the store should help merchants feel mmore comfortable participating.
Appreciate it @Mustafa_Ali ! This will be more a front end review, I don’t need access to the backend etc. This will literally just be a basic audit in order to show how a user can go ahead and do a more comprehensive audit themselves using Claude as an AI tool, comparing it to competitors and then going from there.
Hi @Steve_TopNewYork , to clarify, this will be a front end review, I just need the website (like what a customer sees) and then I will show how to set this up as a basic audit, comparing what competitors are doing and seeing what can be improved from a CRO, and UX perspective. I won’t need access, I just want to do this on a real store VS my development store
That’s a cool idea, especially if you’re comparing the same store against competitors instead of just pointing out obvious UX stuff.
One thing I’d be interested in seeing is how much of Claude’s advice lines up with what an actual SEO audit finds. We’ve played around with AI for reviews before and it’s surprisingly good at spotting messaging or UX issues, but it tends to miss some of the Shopify-specific SEO quirks around product and collection pages. It’d be interesting to compare the output against something like SiteGuru afterward and see where they overlap versus where they don’t. I could see that making for a pretty useful video.
