Web commerce pros created a really lovely design for our website. They also changed the layout for our images and updated/resized images so that the site is overall much more attractive. We have been receiving a lot of positive feedback from customers on the ease of use and the overall look of our site. In addition, we are very grateful to Roy for coming up with a creative solution for allowing customers to easily create their own quotes, which has been very helpful to both our operations and our customers.

Shopify SEO issues we check in every audit
Collection-based product links
Many themes link products through collection URLs. Canonical tags help, so we check internal links and what Google actually indexes before changing anything.
/collections/shoes/products/trail-xFixed URL structure
Shopify’s /products/ and /collections/ paths can’t be removed, so handles, keywords and redirects need to be planned around them.
/products/ · /collections/ · /pages/App bloat
Some apps add scripts to every page, and some leave code behind after you uninstall them. We test each app’s real impact.
19 apps · 2.3 MB of scriptsThin collection pages
Collections target the best keywords, but most are just a product grid with a generic title.
<title>Shoes – Stride Supply</title>Variant and tag pages
Tag filters and variant URLs can create thousands of near-duplicate pages.
/collections/shoes/red+size-10Incomplete schema
Many themes miss reviews, GTIN, brand or stock in their product markup.
"aggregateRating": missingCopied descriptions
Manufacturer text on hundreds of products gives Google no reason to rank your store.
Same text on 40+ other sitesShopify Markets setup
Shopify adds hreflang for markets that are set up correctly. Wrong domains, duplicate markets or untranslated pages can still split rankings.
en-us · en-ca · en-gbMigration losses
Moving to Shopify changes your URLs, and without a full redirect map rankings drop fast. A theme redesign needs SEO checks too.

How we measure: we report non-brand organic traffic, rankings for your priority collections and products, and organic orders and revenue where your tracking supports it. Google Shopping and other channels are reported separately. SEO works alongside your ads, email and seasonality, so we show trends and the changes behind them rather than claiming every sale.

Questions store owners ask about Shopify SEO
About Shopify SEO
Yes. Shopify handles hosting, SSL, sitemaps and many canonical tags for you, and its themes are mobile-friendly. Most ranking problems on Shopify come from how a store is set up: duplicate product links, apps, thin collection pages and missing product data. Those can be fixed.
Keyword research and mapping, a Shopify SEO audit, theme and code fixes, collection and product optimization, speed and app cleanup, schema, Google Shopping feed work, content and links. We also get your catalog ready for the Shop app and AI shopping channels.
Apps are useful for things like alt text and meta tags. What they don’t do is research your keywords, decide which pages to prioritize, write your collection content or take responsibility for theme changes. That’s the work of a Shopify SEO expert or consultant, and we also test whether each app is worth its speed cost.
The goals are the same, but the work is Shopify-specific: Liquid themes, the fixed URL structure, apps, Shopify Markets and Shopify’s own channels. For other platforms, see our Ecommerce SEO services.
Technical Shopify SEO
No. Shopify fixes those paths for every store. What we can control is everything after them: clean handles with your keywords, canonical links and redirects, so the fixed paths don’t hurt your rankings.
Many themes link products through collection URLs. Shopify’s canonical tag already points to the main product URL, so this is rarely an indexing disaster, but it wastes crawling and splits internal links. We check what Google actually indexes, then update the theme so links point to the main product URL.
Sometimes. Apps that add scripts to every page can slow your store, and some leave code behind after you uninstall them. We measure each app’s impact before removing anything, then clean leftover code.
Only if URLs change. A new theme usually keeps your product and collection URLs, but we still check headings, content, schema, internal links and speed before and after launch. Moving to Shopify from another platform always needs a full redirect map.
Yes. We work with Shopify Plus, Shopify Markets, B2B on Shopify and headless storefronts built with Hydrogen.
Channels & AI
Yes, if your store and products are eligible. Through Shopify’s Agentic Storefronts, products from Shopify stores can be found and bought in ChatGPT, and Shopify is adding more AI channels. Availability depends on your store, products and the channel, and placement isn’t guaranteed. Clean, complete product data helps. See our AI SEO service.
Connect the Google & YouTube channel in Shopify, link Merchant Center, fix any disapprovals and turn on free listings. We optimize titles, GTINs and attributes and keep the feed approved.
Shop is Shopify’s shopping app, where shoppers find, buy and track products from Shopify stores. Complete product data, good images and reviews help your store look its best there.
Working with us
No. As a Shopify Partner, we send a collaborator request from your admin. You approve only the permissions we need, and you can remove access any time.
We research the searches your buyers use and what competitors rank for, then map each search to one collection, product or guide so your pages don’t compete. We prioritize by search demand, competition and value to your business, and agree the roadmap with you.
Technical fixes often help within weeks. Competitive collection keywords usually take 3 to 6 months.
It depends on your catalog size, Shopify plan and competition. Every plan is custom-quoted after a free Shopify SEO audit.
