Shopify has useful built-in SEO features, but it also has platform-specific technical considerations. I review your storefront, products, collections and existing search performance before recommending changes.
A Shopify SEO audit helps identify problems that may be affecting how Google discovers, indexes and understands your store.
Shopify products can sometimes be accessed through different URL paths, including paths associated with collections. I check whether canonical signals and internal links consistently support the intended product URLs. I do not recommend changing every platform default simply because an automated audit reports a warning.
Product pages need to help both search engines and shoppers understand exactly what is being sold.
I review product titles, descriptions, images, specifications and relevant search terms.
My recommendations can include clearer product information, useful image alt text, accurate availability details and appropriate structured data.
For example, a Bristol retailer selling handmade home accessories should explain materials, dimensions, care instructions and delivery information.
That information can help a shopper decide whether the product meets their needs.
Adding more keywords without improving the product description is rarely the most useful change.
Collection pages are often among the most commercially valuable pages on a Shopify store.
They help shoppers explore groups of related products and can target broader purchasing searches.
I review collection names, headings, descriptions, internal links and product groupings.
A store selling cycling equipment may benefit from separate collections for helmets, lights and repair accessories.
Each collection should serve a clear customer purpose.
I also consider whether overlapping collections create unnecessary competition between similar pages.
I research what potential customers search for and identify the page types that best match those queries.
Some searches belong on individual product pages. Others are better suited to collections or helpful buying guides.
I focus on commercial relevance rather than chasing the highest search volume.
Supporting content should answer genuine customer questions and direct readers towards suitable products where appropriate.
Slow store pages can make shopping frustrating, particularly on mobile devices. I assess loading and responsiveness using relevant tools, including Google PageSpeed Insights. Potential issues may involve large images, theme code, third-party applications or unnecessary scripts.
I identify likely causes before recommending changes. Removing a useful application purely to improve a performance score may not be a sensible business decision
I follow a practical process based on your catalogue, website configuration and commercial priorities.
Step 01
Understand Your Shopify Business
I review your products, customer audience, delivery markets and most important collections. I also discuss which products and categories contribute most to your business goals.
Step 02
Audit Your Shopify Store
I examine technical SEO, indexing, product information, collection structures and existing search performance. Where access is available, I use Google Search Console and relevant analytics data.
Step 03
Identify Search and Content Opportunities
I research relevant product and category keywords and review competing stores. I identify opportunities to improve existing pages before recommending new content.
Step 04
Prioritise and Implement Improvements
Depending on the agreed scope, I help address technical issues, collection optimisation, product content and internal linking. Some Shopify theme changes may require development support.
Step 05
Review Performance and Refine
I assess relevant organic visibility, landing page performance and available sales information. I use those findings to recommend the next improvements rather than applying the same checklist repeatedly.
I consider what happens after someone arrives from Google.
Can they find the correct product? Is the information clear? Does the page explain delivery, availability and purchasing options?
I also examine which organic landing pages attract relevant visitors.
Where suitable analytics data is available, I look at customer actions and revenue alongside rankings and clicks.
The objective is not simply more website traffic. It is attracting shoppers who are interested in your products and helping them make informed purchasing decisions.
I am UK-based in London and work with businesses across the UK, including Bristol.
On ecommerce websites I audit, I often find that important collections are not receiving enough attention while less valuable pages consume time and resources.
I review how products are organised, which pages are indexed and whether the content matches real shopping searches.
I explain my recommendations clearly so you understand why changes are needed and what they are intended to improve.
Explore My Professional Profiles
You are not simply hiring someone to add keywords to your Shopify product descriptions.
You are working with an experienced SEO consultant who understands ecommerce website structures, technical accessibility and commercial search intent.
I will not guarantee first position in Google, a fixed number of additional sales or inclusion in AI-generated shopping recommendations.
Google and AI platforms control their own search results and responses.
I focus on improving technical foundations, useful product information and commercial search relevance.
You can review examples of my previous SEO work through my SEO case studies.
I work with independent retailers, ecommerce brands, startups and growing online stores.
Shopify SEO can be relevant to businesses selling clothing, home products, accessories, specialist equipment and other physical goods.
A retailer based in Clifton may primarily sell across the UK. Another business in Bedminster may combine local shopping demand with national online orders.
Those businesses need different keyword strategies.
Your location does not mean every Shopify product page should target Bristol.
I focus on the markets where you actually sell and the searches that match your products.
Clear product information can help supported search and AI systems interpret your catalogue.
I work across Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO), Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) and Entity SEO.
I review accurate product descriptions, relevant structured data, accessibility and content consistency.
These foundations may support discovery through Google Search and AI-assisted experiences, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.
However, no consultant can guarantee that an AI platform will recommend or cite your products.
AI Search Optimisation builds on good ecommerce SEO rather than replacing it.
Shopify SEO pricing depends on your catalogue size, theme, applications, competition and the work required.
A small retailer may need improvements to a few important collections and products.
A larger store with many variants and technical indexing problems may require a more extensive project.
I recommend a scope based on your store rather than selling a fixed number of optimised products.
