- How do I add alt text to my images?
The Alt text page lists your product images, blog post covers and images inside pages and posts that have no alt text. Get a free suggestion or import Sidekick's drafts, check them, then Save. Undo lasts 90 days.
- How do I fix SEO titles and meta descriptions?
SEO titles & descriptions lists products, collections, pages and blog posts with no SEO title or meta description, or text that is too long. Get a suggestion from your own text or import Sidekick's drafts, then Save. Undo lasts 90 days.
- How do I see and undo what SignalLane changed in my store?
Change history lists every alt text, SEO title, meta description and description SignalLane wrote to your store, with before and after. Restore puts one back, and Export CSV saves the list.
- How do I work through the products and pages AI readiness lists?
A View tile opens the list of exactly those products or pages. Every row shows what to fix, with Edit in Shopify, Check again and This product is fine; problems SignalLane can fix link straight to the page that fixes them.
- How do I write product and collection descriptions?
The Descriptions page lists products with no description or one under 150 characters, and collections with none. Write them with Sidekick in Shopify's editor, or with SignalLane's AI once it is available.
- Translate your SignalLane messages with Sidekick or AI
Fill the language tabs of your banners, checkout messages, picture descriptions and checkout rules messages with Shopify Sidekick, free, or with AI, using credits. Every translation is a draft until you save.
- What are AI credits?
Writing alt text, SEO text, descriptions and translations with AI uses credits: 1 for each answer you can use, nothing for one SignalLane cannot use. Settings › AI credits shows your limit and what you have used.
- What do the storefront checks read?
Your robots.txt, sitemap, a product page's data, your policy and contact pages, a weekly sample of more product pages and one sitemap file, and the optional AI files. Read as SignalLane, once a week and when you press Check now.
- What does the AI shopping readiness page check?
An overview in three cards: what SignalLane can write for you, which products, collections, pages and blog posts are missing information, and how your storefront reads to assistants, with the details on Storefront checks.
- Why does AI readiness ask to read my pages and blog posts?
An optional permission to read published pages and blog posts. It keeps titles, addresses, lengths, image counts, yes/no results and image addresses and alt text, never the text. Editing needs a second permission.
- Write SEO text and alt text with Sidekick, then import it
Choose Import from Sidekick, copy SignalLane's request into Shopify Sidekick, and import the CSV file it gives you with Import file. Nothing changes in your store until you save.
