Made for Shopify Merchants
Find out what’s draining your organic traffic.
A comprehensive evaluation of your Shopify store’s SEO health. We identify technical issues, indexing problems, and missed opportunities that are costing you organic traffic and sales.
WHAT YOU’RE GETTING
Not a crawl report. A complete picture.
Built around how Shopify actually works, this audit tells you what’s broken, why it matters, and exactly what to fix first. Not a list of errors that leaves you guessing.
Shopify-specific analysis
We know where Shopify breaks. Variant URL bloat, canonical mismatches, filter parameter sprawl, app-injected speed issues. Generic tools miss all of it. We don’t.
A prioritized fix list, not a dump
Every issue ranked by traffic impact and implementation effort. Your dev team knows exactly where to start. No guessing, no 47-item list to sort through yourself.
Technical and strategic in one
We go beyond crawl errors to evaluate your site architecture, content structure, and how you stack up against stores ranking above you. Everything that affects your organic growth, not just what a crawler can flag.
– Used by Shopify stores doing $1M–$50M+ in annual revenue.
WHAT IT IS
Everything affecting how Google ranks your store.
We examine your technical setup, site architecture, on-page optimization, and content structure – specific to how Shopify actually handles these things, not how a generic SEO tool assumes it does.
This audit is for you if:
- Your organic traffic is flat or declining and you don’t know why
- You’re preparing for a migration or theme change
- You’re launching a new store and want to start clean
- You want to know exactly where you stand before investing in SEO

WHY IT MATTERS
Most Shopify stores have SEO problems they don’t know about.
The platform creates them automatically. Generic tools don’t catch them. And by the time you notice the traffic drop, you’ve lost months of revenue.
Duplicate content at scale
Every product variant and collection filter spawns a new URL. Shopify generates thousands of duplicates automatically. Google wastes its entire crawl budget on them instead of your real pages.
Canonicals pointing the wrong way
Shopify’s canonical behavior usually points variant URLs to the right page. Sometimes it doesn’t. When that happens Google splits ranking signals across duplicate pages and neither one ranks well.
App bloat killing page speed
Every Shopify app adds JavaScript. Reviews, upsells, popups, tracking scripts stack until your 3-second load becomes 8 seconds. Google demotes slow pages in mobile search and most store owners never find the culprit.
How We Audit Your Shopify Store
Our audit breaks your store down across five critical areas that directly impact how Google sees and ranks you.
Technical Foundation
Crawlability, indexing status, robots.txt configuration, XML sitemaps, and how Google is actually seeing your site via Search Console.
Site Architecture
URL structure, internal linking, collection hierarchy, and navigation-how well your site is organized for both users and search engines.
On-Page Optimization
Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, and content quality across product pages, collection pages, and key landing pages.
Shopify-Specific Issues
Duplicate content from variants and filters, canonical tag implementation, pagination handling, and app-injected SEO problems.
Performance
Core Web Vitals, page speed, theme bloat, and third-party script impact.
TECHNICAL CREDIBILITY
The tools we actually use
Google Search Console
We see what Google is actually crawling on your store, not what your sitemap assumes it should.
Screaming Frog
Full site crawl to surface duplicate URLs, broken canonicals, and redirect chains before Google does.
PageSpeed Insights
We go beyond the score to identify which specific scripts and embeds are creating real CWV impact.
Chrome DevTools
Script profiling and paint timing to pinpoint exactly which app or theme element is causing the slowdown.
SEMrush
Competitive benchmarking on crawl health, indexing coverage, and structured data against stores ranking above you.
Shopify Admin
Direct access to your theme code and app stack — so we see what’s installed, what’s conflicting, and what’s hurting you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Shopify SEO audit take?
This depends on the size and complexity of your site. Most clients can be onboarded and have their audit completed within the same month.
What do I need to provide to get started?
We’ll need view access to your Google Search Console and Google Analytics (if available). For a deeper technical review, temporary access to your Shopify admin helps us evaluate theme settings, app configurations, and redirect rules.
Will you fix the issues you find, or just report them?
The audit itself is diagnostic-we identify and prioritize the issues. Implementation can be handled by your team, your developers, or through our ongoing SEO services. We’re happy to discuss what makes sense for your situation.
Is this different from running a site through SEMrush or Ahrefs?
Absolutely. Automated tools are useful, but they don’t understand Shopify’s platform-specific behavior. They’ll flag issues that aren’t actually problems on Shopify and miss issues that are. Our audit combines tool data with manual review and Shopify-specific expertise.
What if my store is brand new?
Even better. An audit before or shortly after launch helps you avoid common Shopify SEO mistakes that can take months to recover from. It’s easier to set things up correctly than to fix them later.
How is this priced?
Audits are priced based on site size, technical complexity, and several other factors that impact how easily a site can be examined and diagnosed. We’re happy to provide a free quote, just reach out and let us know what you need.
