A Shopify SEO agency costs $3,000 to $10,000 a month and a freelancer costs $1,000 to $3,000, and for most stores the freelancer is the better hire, and you pay the person doing the work, not the people managing it. An agency earns its price past about $300K a month, when you need three workstreams…
ChatGPT recommends some brands and not others based on two things: what its crawler can read and what other sites say. It runs a web search, pulls the pages it can reach, and names the brands that keep showing up across them. No brand can pay for a spot. For best results, earn mentions on…
Collection pages drive more sales than blog posts, since they catch shoppers who already know what they want, while a blog post catches someone still asking questions.

Most Shopify stores don’t need an SEO app: Shopify already generates your sitemap, canonical tags, robots.txt, and SSL for free. An app earns its fee only when a job repeats at a scale you can’t hand-edit, like metadata across 500 products. For best results, fix the basics yourself first. Below is where that line sits…
