Exatio Catalog Audit

Description

Your WooCommerce catalog has data problems you don’t know about. Missing product images, empty descriptions, duplicate SKUs, broken prices, incomplete variations — they silently kill conversions, hurt SEO rankings, and get your products rejected from Google Shopping and Meta Commerce feeds.

Think of it as a product data quality checker for WooCommerce — like a spell-checker, but for your entire catalog. Validate product data before importing to Google Merchant Center, Meta Commerce, or any comparison shopping feed.

Exatio Catalog Audit scans your entire product catalog and shows you exactly what needs fixing — with severity ratings, affected product counts, direct edit links, and step-by-step fix guidance for every issue found.

The free plugin runs 24 automated checks across 6 problem categories:

How It Works

1. Scan — Click “Start Scan” from WooCommerce > Catalog Audit. The plugin processes products in small batches (200 at a time), so it works on any hosting without timeouts or memory issues.
2. Analyze — Review your Health Score (weighted by severity), top issues sorted by priority, and a detailed table of every affected product with direct “Edit” links.
3. Fix — Follow the built-in fix guidance for each issue type. Every issue row includes a one-line hint telling you exactly what to change and where.
