StoreMend Research
Standing audit data on live Shopify storefronts, published for anyone covering ecommerce SEO, Core Web Vitals, structured data, or AI shopping visibility. Every figure below is free to quote with attribution, and the underlying files are downloadable on this page.
The corpus
- Storefronts audited
- 1,091
- Classified
- 1,077
- Invisible to AI shopping
- 72.2%
- No Product or Org JSON-LD
- 68.1%
Shares are of the 1,077 storefronts that classified cleanly, not of all 1,091 audited. The two totals differ and the published files use the classified figure as the denominator, so a percentage checked against the CSV will reconcile.

Published under CC BY 4.0. Dataset version 2026-06-19, covering Q2 2026. No signup, no email gate.
- Cohort aggregates (CSV)
Per-vertical rows plus a corpus summary row.
- Cohort aggregates (JSON)
Same aggregates, with the denominator notes that govern every percentage.
- AI-Readiness Index (CSV)
Schema-absent and AI-invisible counts and shares, per vertical.
How the numbers were produced
Each storefront runs the same deterministic checks against its live public pages. Nothing is sampled by hand and nothing is estimated. The full method, the denominators, and the known limits are written up rather than summarised.
