Shopify SEO that fixes the platform's hidden traps
Shopify's defaults create duplicate product pages and faceted-navigation bloat that quietly cost you rankings. We fix them, implement product schema, and lift sales. We audit with Search Console, SEMrush, and Screaming Frog, then deliver a prioritized fix list.
Shopify SEO in Mississauga, answered
Optimizing your Shopify store's product and category pages to rank higher — fixing duplicate product pages (a common Shopify default), optimizing product schema, managing faceted navigation, improving speed, and lifting conversions.
Typically $1,000–$10,000/month. A one-time audit is $1,000–$2,500; a small-store retainer $2,000–$5,000; a premium retainer for large stores $5,000–$10,000+, based on products and technical health.
Most stores see product ranking improvement within 3–6 months. Critical fixes land in 2–4 weeks; sales typically follow rankings by 1–2 months, compounding from there.
The Shopify issues that quietly cost you sales
Duplicate product pages
Shopify's defaults create duplicates for product variants. We clean them up with canonicals and noindex rules.
Faceted navigation
Filters (size, colour, price) spawn thousands of duplicate pages. We set rules for what's indexed and what stays hidden.
Product variant SEO
Variants (size, colour, style) confuse Google. We handle them with structured data and canonical tags.
Missing product schema
Shopify stores often lack Product, Offer, and Review schema. We implement JSON-LD for every product page.
Slow site speed
Large catalogs and heavy apps slow stores down. We optimize images, reduce scripts, and configure a CDN.
Missing product reviews
Reviews build trust and add fresh content. We help you implement a review generation strategy.
"In my 10 years of Shopify SEO in Mississauga, fixing duplicate content and product schema delivers the fastest sales improvements for Shopify stores — and most owners don't even know they have these issues."
