Fitment Catalog Audit — client name withheld

This audit is generated directly from the client's product catalog by the fitment engine — every number below is computed, not estimated. No changes were made to the store to produce it.

At a glance

Findings

1. Missing fitment pages — 0

Machines the products fit, with no page for a buyer (or an AI shopping agent) to land on.

• none — every confidently-placeable machine has its page

2. SEO metadata gaps — 0

Fitment pages with no page title and/or meta description — pages that exist but tell search engines nothing about what they are.

• none — every fitment page carries a title and description

3. Products absent from their fitment pages — 0

Products whose name identifies the machine they fit, but which are not assigned to that machine's page — invisible exactly where buyers look.

• none — every placeable product sits on its fitment pages

4. Empty fitment pages — 42

Category pages with zero products anywhere beneath them. Google's spam policy treats pages "created to funnel users" with no standalone value as doorway pages; empty fitment pages are the textbook case and can drag down the whole subtree. The first ten of forty-two:

• Track Loaders › Takeuchi › TL26-2
• Mini Excavators › Bobcat › E32C
• Mini Excavators › Bobcat › X335
• Mini Excavators › Bobcat › X337
• Mini Excavators › Bobcat › X341
• Mini Excavators › CASE › CX14ZTS
• Mini Excavators › Caterpillar › 304.5
• Mini Excavators › Caterpillar › 304C
• Mini Excavators › Gehl › 383Z
• Mini Excavators › Gehl › 753Z

5. Competitor coverage gaps — 139

Machines where a competitor publishes a page whose URL itself names the make and model, and this store has no matching fitment page. The method is deliberately conservative — a competitor only earns a machine from its own URL, never from marketing copy or search snippets. The first eight of one hundred thirty-nine:

• ASV PT75 (Tracks)
• ASV RT110 (Tracks)
• Bobcat 319 (Tracks)
• Bobcat E14 (Tracks)
• CASE 200TX (Tracks)
• CASE 400TX (Tracks)
• CASE CX15STC (Tracks)
• CASE CX16B (Tracks)

6. Catalog hygiene

Naming conflicts (4) — same page, two spellings; needs a human call:

• expected ASV › RT65 Max vs existing ASV › RT65 MAX
• expected ASV › RT65 Max › Tracks vs existing ASV › RT65 MAX › Tracks
• expected Takeuchi › Tl120 vs existing Takeuchi › TL120
• expected Takeuchi › Tl120 › Tracks vs existing Takeuchi › TL120 › Tracks

Name defects parsed anyway (41) — missing spaces or stray hyphens the engine corrected; worth fixing at the source:

• Bobcat 322G Track-1 — numeric_variant_suffix
• Bobcat MT100 Track - S Bar 2 — numeric_variant_suffix
• Kubota KX21Track - T Lug — glued_part_keyword
• Ditch Witch SK1050Track - L Lug — glued_part_keyword
• Morooka MST1500VD Track- Straight Bar — missing_space_before_dash

Flagged for review (10) — the engine refuses to guess on these:

• 320x86x49 Rubber Track — no_make_match
• Over The Tire Tracks - Rubber — no_make_match
• OTT Wheel Spacers — no_make_match; no_part_keyword

What this means

Every gap above is a machine-specific search — "Bobcat E32C tracks", "ASV PT75 rubber tracks" — where the store either doesn't rank or shows buyers a broken experience, and AI shopping agents reading the catalog structure hit the same walls. The engine fixes all four gap classes with native catalog objects: real categories, real assignments, real metadata, no injected pages. Each change is planned, applied, and verified idempotently, journaled with rollback.

Method

Deterministic extraction against the store's own naming conventions; page creation gated by confidence scoring — pages are only proposed where product evidence supports them; conflicts and unparseable products are surfaced for human decision, never guessed. The audit is read-only.
