Shopify
SEO

If you run a Shopify store and want sustainable growth, SEO needs to be built around products, collections and commercial intent, not just rankings.

We work with ecommerce brands to improve visibility across high-intent keywords, optimise collection structures, resolve technical constraints, and increase conversion from existing traffic. The result is not just more sessions, but more revenue.

ABOUT SHOPIFY
SEO

Most Shopify stores do not struggle because of the platform itself. They struggle because the structure was never built for search at scale.

Collections can compete with products. Multiple URL paths create duplication. Filters generate thin, crawlable pages. Apps inject unnecessary scripts. Themes prioritise design over performance. Over time, small decisions compound into technical debt that quietly suppresses rankings.

Shopify SEO is about fixing the foundations first. It means aligning site architecture with search demand, strengthening category authority, improving crawl efficiency, and ensuring your highest margin products are supported by real organic visibility.

Shopify SEO

Sound familiar?

The most common Shopify SEO problems — and what actually fixes them.

The problem

"My product pages don't rank — even for the product name."

The fix

Shopify pulls your product title straight into the page title — which rarely matches how customers actually search. We rewrite titles, meta descriptions and on-page copy around real search demand, targeting the phrases buyers use before they know your brand exists.

The problem

"My collection pages are invisible on Google."

The fix

Collection pages are your highest-value SEO real estate and Shopify leaves them almost empty by default. We build out collection content, optimise heading structure and add targeted copy that gives Google something to rank — without disrupting the shopping experience.

The problem

"Shopify is creating duplicate versions of all my pages."

The fix

Shopify generates two URLs for every product — one under the collection path and one standalone. Without correct canonicals, Google splits your ranking signals across both. We audit and fix your canonical setup so every page consolidates authority in one place.

The problem

"My filter and sort pages are creating hundreds of junk URLs."

The fix

Shopify's faceted navigation generates a parameter-based URL for every filter combination — colour, size, price, sort order — and by default Google crawls all of them. We implement crawl controls, noindex rules and parameter handling that kills the bloat without breaking your filters.

The problem

"My store is slow and my Core Web Vitals are failing."

The fix

Shopify themes are often loaded with apps, render-blocking scripts and unoptimised images that tank page speed scores. We run a full performance audit and implement fixes — whether that's theme changes, image compression, script deferral or app consolidation.

The problem

"I have a blog but it brings in zero traffic."

The fix

Most Shopify blogs publish topics nobody searches for and link nowhere on the store. We rebuild your content strategy around buyer-intent keywords, restructure existing posts, and create internal links between your blog and your highest-value collection and product pages.

The problem

"I can't rank for category searches — only exact product names."

The fix

Category searches like "oak dining tables" or "women's running shoes" have far higher volume than product-specific queries — and that's where collection pages should rank. We map category keywords to the right pages and build the content depth Google needs to rank them competitively.

The problem

"I switched themes and my rankings dropped overnight."

The fix

Theme changes frequently break heading structure, remove on-page copy, alter internal linking or strip out schema markup without anyone noticing. We run pre- and post-migration SEO audits to catch regressions before they cost you rankings — and fix anything that slipped through.

The problem

"My structured data is broken and I'm getting warnings in Search Console."

The fix

Shopify includes basic schema markup but it's often incomplete — missing review counts, price ranges, availability signals and breadcrumb data that unlock rich results in search. We implement and validate full ecommerce schema across product, collection and blog page types.

The problem

"My competitors rank above me even though my products are better."

The fix

Rankings aren't just about the page — they're about the authority behind the whole domain. We analyse competitor backlink profiles, identify the gaps, and build a link acquisition strategy that closes the authority deficit through digital PR, editorial outreach and relevant partnerships.

Advanced Shopify Functionality

Organic search performance is not defined by a single position for a single keyword.

For Shopify stores in particular, growth is heavily influenced by how the platform is configured. Default collection templates, duplicate product paths, app-injected scripts, oversized theme files and poorly structured internal linking all impact how users interact with your store.

If collection pages load slowly, filters create thin crawlable URLs, or products are buried beneath weak navigation, users leave quickly. When Shopify is properly structured, customers browse collections, refine by attributes, view multiple products and move naturally toward checkout. That increased dwell time, stronger engagement and deeper session activity reflect a higher quality experience.

We treat Shopify development as part of the SEO toolkit.

That means optimising Liquid templates, restructuring collection hierarchies around search demand, refining internal linking between products and categories, improving Core Web Vitals by reducing app bloat, implementing structured data properly, and controlling indexation across faceted navigation and filtered URLs.

We also use metafields, custom sections and template logic to strengthen on-page relevance without disrupting the shopping experience.

SEO and development cannot operate in isolation on Shopify. When the architecture, performance and user journey are aligned with search intent, engagement improves, conversion increases and organic visibility compounds.

The result is not just rankings. It is stronger behavioural signals, higher average order value and sustainable ecommerce growth.
