Does your store expose accurate ecommerce structured data?
A schema checker should say exactly what it checked. StoreCited inspects raw HTML from the submitted public homepage and at most one representative product page discovered through homepage links. It detects the presence of Product, Offer, Review, AggregateRating, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, and Organization JSON-LD types in that fetched sample. That is useful inventory, not complete validation. StoreCited does not certify required properties, factual accuracy, or agreement with visible content. It pairs type presence with a StoreCited readiness score and clear next checks, without presenting markup as observed ranking, citation, or recommendation performance.

What StoreCited inspects — and what it does not
Which JSON-LD types are detected?
The free checker looks for Product, Offer, Review, AggregateRating, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, and Organization types in raw HTML returned for the bounded public sample. A type can appear more than once or within a connected graph; the result is still a presence observation. StoreCited does not claim that every expected type belongs on every page. Product and Offer commonly describe commerce facts, while Review and AggregateRating require genuine supporting content. FAQPage should represent visible questions and answers. BreadcrumbList and Organization describe different entities and relationships. Presence alone does not establish valid properties, eligibility, or factual consistency.
How does the checker inspect a Shopify store?
StoreCited fetches the submitted homepage and may follow homepage links to at most one representative product page. The service returns raw HTML, Markdown, links, and metadata. JSON-LD detection uses the raw HTML; visible-content clues use Markdown. The checker does not enter the theme editor, inspect Shopify admin, crawl every product, or audit private catalog feeds. It also does not stand in for any named crawler. If a script is absent from the fetched raw HTML, StoreCited reports that absence for this sample. It does not declare that no other fetcher, page, rendering path, or platform channel can expose it.
What must be validated after type detection?
Open the live page and verify that every marked-up fact is visible, current, and owned by the correct entity. For Product and Offer, review identity, variant scope, URL, image, price, currency, availability, condition, seller, and identifiers where applicable. For Review or AggregateRating, confirm genuine visible reviews and correct aggregation. Check FAQPage text against the page, BreadcrumbList order against navigation, and Organization facts against public company details. Then apply Google's feature-specific guidance and open Schema.org vocabulary as relevant. StoreCited's presence result starts this work; it does not complete property or policy validation.
