Catalog Rescue. Fixed-price product catalog cleanup, metro Detroit and remote.

Your product catalog, cleaned up at a fixed price in five business days.

Broken imports, missing images, duplicate SKUs, wrong variants, empty descriptions and dead redirects, fixed from the files your store already has. Backup first. A review list for anything uncertain. A before-and-after report at the end.

$750 for up to 500 SKUs.

$1,500 for up to 2,500 SKUs.

Half up front. The balance on acceptance. Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Wix Stores at the fixed price; other platforms get a written quote.

What gets fixed

Six problems, fixed from the files you already have.

Every job covers all six. You tell me which ones you see; the audit finds the rest.

Broken imports

What I do
A supplier or platform CSV that fails or half-loads is mapped, validated and re-imported. CSV Mapper and ChangeAtlas were built for this step.
What I do not do
Hand-typing rows from a PDF or a photo of a price list. Those are not usable sources.

Missing images

What I do
Products are matched to images you already have: folders, supplier packs, an old site export. Renamed, resized, uploaded, alt text set.
What I do not do
Inventing images or scraping manufacturers. Products with no image on hand are listed as image needed.

Duplicate SKUs

What I do
Exact and near duplicates found by SKU, barcode, title and attributes. Exact matches are merged after a backup, with a redirect from the old URL. Near matches go to your review list.
What I do not do
Deleting anything on a guess.

Incorrect variants

What I do
Sizes, flavors, pack counts and colors moved into proper variant structure. Orphan variants and split products reconciled into one product each.
What I do not do
Guessing which split products belong together. You give me a short list of what right looks like.

Empty descriptions

What I do
Filled from the structured data you have (attributes, supplier copy, spec sheets) using one approved template per category.
What I do not do
Original copywriting. That is a separate quote, priced per 100 SKUs.

Broken redirects

What I do
A 404 report built from your sitemap and old URLs, a redirect map, and the redirects installed on the store.
What I do not do
SEO campaigns or theme changes.

What SKU means here

1 SKU = 1 sellable unit as your platform exports it. A product with 5 flavors is 5 SKUs. A product with no variants is 1. The count is taken from your platform export at intake and written on the statement of work. If the export shows more than the cap, you pick the subset or move up a package.

When the clock starts

The next business day after all three are in: the deposit has cleared, staff access has passed a test export, and your source files have passed the intake check. If a file is unusable I tell you within one business day and the clock pauses until it is fixed or re-quoted.

What delivery means

The cleaned catalog on a staging copy or in draft state, plus the issue log, the review list and the before-and-after report. You check a 25-record sample and the report within 5 business days; silence counts as accepted. Then the balance is due and the final import goes to the live store.

Caps and exclusions, in plain words

  • Original product copywriting beyond the templated fills: quoted separately, per 100 SKUs.
  • Photography, image creation or stock images: not included.
  • Per-SKU research on the open web (manufacturer specs, images): excluded by default, quoted by the hour if you want it.
  • Integrations (POS sync, ERP, feeds, marketplace listings), theme or design changes, SEO campaigns: not included.
  • Missing image rights: those products are listed as image needed in the report, not fixed.
  • Urgent delivery under 5 business days: plus 50%, subject to capacity.
  • Capacity: one Rescue 2,500 or two Rescue 500 in flight at a time. A third signed job gets a start date, not a 5-day promise.
  • Anything outside this list: $75 an hour, $300 minimum, written scope first. Magento, Squarespace, custom builds, and catalogs whose source of truth is a POS (Square, Clover, Lightspeed) or a menu provider (Dutchie, Jane, Weedmaps) are quoted this way, because website edits would be overwritten by the sync.
  • Nothing is deleted without a backup. Backups are kept 30 days. 14 days of free fixes after delivery for anything in scope that was missed.

How the work runs

How it runs

Eight steps, five business days once the clock starts.

  1. Intake

    You send the store URL, the platform, a rough SKU count and what you see broken. I reply within one business day with questions, or a quote and a statement of work.

  2. Access and backup

    You give staff or collaborator access (never your own password). I verify it with a test export and save a full backup before anything changes. Backups are kept 30 days.

  3. Audit

    A script runs over the export. You get an issue log with counts for each of the six problems and a list of anything the files cannot answer.

  4. Cleanup

    Fixes are applied in bulk from your files. Anything ambiguous goes on the review list instead of being guessed; up to 60 or 150 records are decided by hand, depending on the package.

  5. Staging and sample batch

    The cleaned catalog goes to a staging copy or draft state. You get a 25-record sample to check against the report.

  6. Review

    You answer the review-list questions, ideally within one business day. One revision round is included if you ask within 5 business days of delivery.

  7. Release

    On acceptance and the balance payment, the final import goes to the live store.

  8. Handoff

    You receive the before-and-after report, the issue log and the files used, plus 14 days of free fixes for anything in scope that was missed.

Your part

What you provide.

  • Staff or collaborator access to the store, not the owner's password, within 1 business day of the deposit.
  • Source files: the platform export, supplier sheets, image folders (zip or shared drive), an old-site export if there is one.
  • A short note on what right looks like for your variants (sizes, flavors, pack counts).
  • Rights to the images and copy you supply. I do not scrape manufacturer images.
  • One decision-maker who answers review-list questions within 1 business day.
  • Regulated details (age gates, nicotine warnings, THC content, tax classes): you supply them, I preserve them and do not author them.

Questions

Straight answers.

Which platforms are fixed price?

Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Wix Stores, because all four have CSV export and import. Magento, Squarespace and custom builds get a written quote at $75 an hour, $300 minimum.

My catalog is synced from a POS (Square, Clover, Lightspeed). Can you fix the website?

Not at the fixed price. The sync would overwrite edits made on the website, so the fix has to happen in the POS or not at all. Tell me which POS you use in the form and I will say whether a quoted job makes sense.

I run a dispensary with a Dutchie, Jane or Weedmaps menu.

The menu provider is the source of truth for products and prices, so the same rule applies: a written quote or a referral, not the fixed package. My dispensary work so far is independent demonstration work, built unpaid and labelled that way. I have not run a paid cannabis catalog job.

Where do the images come from?

From you: folders, supplier packs, an old site export. You confirm you have the rights to use them. I do not scrape manufacturer sites or use stock images. Products with no usable image are listed as image needed in the report.

What happens if my files are unusable?

I tell you within one business day. You fix the source or accept a custom quote, and the clock pauses until then. PDFs and photos of price lists are not usable sources.

How do I pay?

Half up front by invoice before work starts. The balance on acceptance, before the final import to the live store. The invoice lists the payment options.

How long does it really take?

Five business days from the day the clock starts, which is the business day after the deposit clears, access passes a test export and your files pass the intake check. Urgent delivery under five days is plus 50% and depends on capacity: one Rescue 2,500 or two Rescue 500 at a time.

What if something is missed?

Anything in scope that was missed is fixed free for 14 days after delivery. One revision round is included if requested within 5 business days. Nothing is deleted without a backup, and backups are kept 30 days.

Where

Metro Detroit in person, the rest of the US remote.

Based in Warren, Michigan. Serving stores in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, and working remotely with stores anywhere in the US. Every step of the job runs on exports, shared folders and staff access, so distance does not change the price or the clock.

  • Wayne County
  • Oakland County
  • Macomb County
  • Remote, anywhere in the US

Send your store

Next step

Send your store.

Takes about two minutes. You get a reply within one business day, usually with a request for your platform export and a sample of your files so the quote is real.

The website customers buy from.

From your platform export if you have it. A product with 5 flavors is 5 SKUs.

Package you have in mind
What is broken (tick all that apply)

A URL of a broken product page helps.

Only if you prefer a call back.

What happens to this form: it goes by email to Mousa only and is kept in a private log on this site. It is never sold or shared. Ask and it is deleted.
