Monitor traffic, conversion and tracking integrity from Google Search Console, and catch instrumentation breaks before decisions are made on bad data.

Find storefront, speed, accessibility and journey problems. Monitor orders, fulfilment, delivery and settlement. Improve discovery, conversion, campaigns and repeat purchase. Find failures, leaks and risks before they cost sales. Identify missing, inconsistent or outdated product data. ### From connection to verified outcome The controlled sequence every capability follows. Nothing changes a connected system without the approval step. Authorise the source. Scopes are shown before access is granted. Watch the signals against your own baselines, not universal defaults. Run checks and gather evidence specific to your store. Explain what happened, why it matters and the proposed action. You review scope, risk and reversibility before anything changes. Apply through governed connector operations. Confirm the intended result and keep the receipt. No changes are made without the configured approval policy. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system; schedules, access scopes, API usage and data handling remain governed by Vortex IQ controls. ### Monitor performance 70 performance signals. Open an outcome to see its signals and how each one alerts. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system. | Signal | Alert behaviour | What it tracks | | --------------------------------- | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | **Average CTR** | Merchant rule | Description pending editorial review;

Candidate remediations are never executable. Open a check for the detail. **Severity** critical · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only The property has meaningful traffic but reports zero conversions, which almost never means zero sales; it means the tool cannot see the sales that are happening. Every conversion-based report and any ad spend optimised against this tool's conversion signal is blind until this is fixed. Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps. Reference: `ANALYTICS-TRACK-003` **Severity** high · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Report only Analytics showing conversions while the store records zero orders (or the reverse) means one of the two systems is wrong; every decision made on the divergent numbers is at risk. Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps. Reference: `ANALYTICS-ATTR-001` **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only Ranking worse on mobile than desktop for the same queries points at mobile experience problems, and mobile is where most ecommerce searches happen. Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps. Reference: `GSC03` **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only No rich results means competitors' listings show stars and prices where this store shows plain text on the same results page. Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps. Reference: `GSC04` **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Catalogue quality · **Fix status** Candidate remediation Sitemap errors mean Google's map of the store is wrong; new products and updates propagate late or not at all. A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided. Reference: `GSC05` **Severity** low · **Outcome** Run operations · **Fix status** Report only Pages Google has seen but not indexed earn nothing; low coverage usually traces to quality thresholds, redirects or crawl blocks that are fixable. Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps. Reference: `GSC01` **Severity** low · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only High impressions with under 1 percent click-through means the store is being seen and skipped; titles and snippets on these exact pages are the highest-leverage rewrite list available. Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.
