Brand-neutral demonstration
This is a RankOps-owned demonstration of the control plane, rebuilt with a synthetic retailer ("Hearthline") and sample analytics. It preserves the real workflow, evidence model, and safety gates from a live engagement. Manufacturer names are third-party examples. No client is named, and no client data is shown.
Hearthline · SEO Control Center · review-first · no Shopify writes
Quality begins before content generation.
A deterministic workflow that separates real customer products from drafts, app records, price modifiers, and uncertain catalog data before research or copywriting begins. Nothing is written to the store. This is the control plane behind the Catalog Control Engine.

Real reconciliation counts from the engagement, shown as process evidence. They are not a ranking or revenue claim.
End-to-end operating model
Audit, approval, verified implementation.
Each stage produces review artifacts. Technical facts and publishing stay locked until their preceding gates pass.
Catalog intake
Group every Shopify row by product handle.
VerifiedEligibility planning
Exclude unsafe records and form the candidate queue.
VerifiedModel resolution
Match manufacturer, model, SKU, fuel, and size.
Waiting: input gateOfficial evidence
Validate approved domains, documents, hashes, and claims.
VerifiedStructured copy
Prepare provider-neutral, evidence-only generation requests.
VerifiedProofread & QA
Reject schema drift, unsupported numbers, and uncited claims.
VerifiedHuman approval
Approve, revise, or reject each review artifact.
Approval openPublish & verify
Separately approved batch only, with recrawl and rollback.
LockedFail closed by default
Uncertain data becomes a task, not storefront copy.
No guessing, silent substitution, or "confirm with manual" filler is placed on customer-facing pages.
The useful decisions
Proposed pilot and approval points.
The collection set stays proposed until the retailer confirms it. Nothing here is published.
Four QA-passed collection pilots
- Electric Fireplaces: QA passed, approval pending
- Gas Fireplace Inserts: QA passed, approval pending
- Outdoor Fireplaces: QA passed, approval pending
- Venting & Components: QA passed, approval pending
Open approval points
- Approve navigation direction: shop by type plus a dedicated shop-by-brand path
- Confirm the four-page pilot: authorize the review-ready collection packages
- Confirm exception handling: assist only when exact official documentation is unavailable
- Identify the target theme for implementation

Capture the decisions.
Approve, request revisions, or decline each proposed workstream. The exported record is tied to this catalog snapshot and sets publication_authorized: false. It does not approve Shopify payloads, theme changes, or publication.

Google Search intelligence · read-only · sample
Search evidence informs priorities. It never bypasses a gate.
Verified interpretation
Query strings dominated by Shopify product-sync parameters. In the live sample, some parameter URLs canonicalize to a clean base and others return 404. Timeouts stay flagged, never silently treated as broken.
Internal-link readiness
Mapped live destinations return 200 in a read-only check. Broader destinations are flagged so anchor text never overpromises what the page contains. Missing destinations become a decision, not a guess.
This is what "review-first" actually looks like.
