You get every language and area with its shares in the full check. #### Estimated lever around 30,000–50,000 € per year Projection from your figures and our assumptions, not a promise of results How we calculate \+ ongoing app costs: about US$400 a year (App Store list prices, estimate) Annual store revenue € Share abroad % Assumed increase in conversion Conversion +5 % Starting values are examples. Enter your own figures, we do not store them. Assumptions - Revenue abroad = annual revenue × share abroad. The findings on Google abroad and translation act on it. - Loading time affects every market: with a loading time finding we also apply the increase to domestic revenue. - If conversion rises by the value you set, this revenue rises by the same share. Default: 5 %. - Lower bound: 60 % of that, because not every finding has its full effect. - Not included: effort and time until it takes effect. App costs are shown separately, as App Store list prices (USD, estimate). For context: 76 % of online shoppers prefer to buy with product information in their own language (CSA Research, 2020). Loading 0.1 s faster brought retail sites 8.4 % more conversions on average (Deloitte for Google, 2020). Study values, not a commitment for your store. From a real project: at LOULEX the investment had paid for itself after about nine months, from the dropped licence costs alone. The SEO gain comes on top.

No. It only reads what is public anyway: your pages, like a visitor, and the public interface Shopify serves products per language through. It follows your robots.txt. It needs no access to the store admin. Which stores does it work for? For Shopify stores with a theme and for headless stores on Shopify. If it detects another shop system, it tells you.
