Shopify SEO is not generic SEO
Shopify creates unique crawling and indexing patterns. If you treat it like a brochure site, you get thin category pages, duplicated URLs, and rankings that never compound. We focus on the platform mechanics that move revenue pages.
Collection page architecture
We design collections that rank and convert, then build an internal linking system that funnels authority into your best sellers.
- Collection hierarchy, breadcrumbs, and crawl paths
- Facet control to prevent duplicate indexation
- Content modules that support purchase intent
Duplicate URLs and index bloat
Shopify can generate multiple URLs for the same product. We align canonicals, sitemaps, and robots rules so Google indexes the right pages.
- Canonical and duplicate content solutions
- Robots and XML sitemap optimisation
- Crawl budget cleanup for large inventories

Theme, apps, and speed
App scripts and heavy themes can quietly kill organic revenue by lowering CWV and conversion rate. We optimise performance without sacrificing design.
- Core Web Vitals optimisation
- Script and app bloat audits
- Conversion-safe performance changes

A fast scan of the highest impact fixes we see on Shopify stores. If multiple rows apply, your store likely has compounding upside.
Common issues vs recommended fixes
We prioritise fixes that improve crawl focus, ranking, and conversion at the same time.
| Area | What we often see | Why it hurts | How we fix it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collections | Thin collection copy, no hierarchy, weak internal links | Collections do not earn relevance, products do not get pushed | Hierarchy, modules, internal link system, intent aligned headings and copy |
| Duplicates | Multiple URLs for the same product, tag pages indexed | Authority splits, crawls wasted, rankings stall | Canonicals, robots rules, sitemap strategy, index bloat cleanup |
| Product pages | Template lacks structured data and trust modules | Lower CTR, fewer rich results, weaker conversion | Schema, FAQ blocks, comparison modules, review integration checks |
| Performance | App bloat, heavy scripts, slow mobile LCP | Lower rankings and conversion rate | Core Web Vitals optimisation, script audits, theme-level fixes |
| Measurement | GA4 ecommerce events incomplete or misfiring | Hard to prove ROI, bad decisions, wasted effort | GA4 + GTM setup, dashboards, channel attribution planning |
| Feeds | Product data not optimised for discovery channels | Missed traffic across Shopping and organic surfaces | Product feed optimisation, title structure, attribute mapping |
