Shopify SEO Agency for Shopify & Shopify Plus Brands
We're a Shopify SEO agency helping Shopify and Shopify Plus brands grow revenue from organic search. We fix the technical issues that hold stores back, optimise your collections and product pages for the terms that actually convert, and build the authority that earns long-term rankings. No empty promises, no short-term tricks.
Shopify SEO, built around how Shopify actually works
Search Engine Optimisation is one of the most cost-effective ways to grow a Shopify store: it puts your products in front of high-intent shoppers without paying for every click. But ranking a Shopify store isn't the same as ranking any other website. Shopify's structure brings its own challenges, from the way collection and product URLs are generated, to the duplicate pages created by variants and filtering, to how your theme outputs structured data.
Our Shopify SEO strategies are built around those realities. We map search demand to your collection and product templates, fix the technical constraints that limit visibility, and strengthen the pages that drive revenue. The result is sustainable organic growth that compounds over time, not a short-lived spike.
Eastside's Approach to Shopify SEO
Our in-house marketing department includes a dedicated team of SEO specialists, from strategists and technical SEOs to content writers and digital PR experts, working alongside our Shopify developers. That means recommendations don't just land in a report; they get implemented properly within your theme and platform setup.
With over 200 ranking signals in Google's algorithm, climbing the results pages takes time and expertise. Be wary of any agency that promises to 'get you to number one on Google'. That's not something you'll ever see on a proposal from Eastside. What we will do is build and deliver a long-term Shopify SEO strategy using proven tactics: we analyse where you are, identify where you need to be, and create a plan with clearly defined objectives to get you there.
And through transparent, jargon-free monthly reports, we'll always keep you up to date on progress, results and next steps.
We hired Eastside to perform a technical audit on our website. Eastside’s recommendations helped us put in place strong SEO foundations that supported fantastic growth for our website.

SEO tactics that increase traffic and sales for Shopify stores
From technical SEO and collection optimisation to content, digital PR and international growth, our in-house specialists bring a full range of Shopify SEO skills to your store. Here's how some of them could help you.
Shopify SEO Audit
Every engagement starts by understanding your store's current performance and SEO health. We run a full Shopify-specific audit covering site structure, collection and product taxonomy, indexation and crawl health, internal linking, canonicalisation, structured data and Core Web Vitals. This tells us exactly what's working, what's holding you back, and where the quickest commercial wins are, so your strategy is prioritised around revenue, not guesswork.
Technical SEO for Shopify
Shopify handles some technical SEO for you, but its structure also creates issues that need a specialist's eye. We make sure search engines can crawl and index your store efficiently, managing the duplicate URLs created by variants and filtering, controlling indexation, getting canonical tags right, optimising collection hierarchies and internal linking, and making sure your theme outputs valid structured data for products, reviews and breadcrumbs. We also tackle site speed and Core Web Vitals through image optimisation and theme and code improvements, so both search engines and shoppers get a fast, frictionless experience.
AI Search & Generative Engine Optimisation
A growing share of high-intent product research now starts in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode rather than a traditional results page. We optimise your Shopify store to appear in those AI-generated answers through structured data, content optimisation and brand authority signals. Work that complements your organic SEO rather than competing with it.
Competitor Analysis
Understanding your competitive landscape is key. By benchmarking your store against your competitors, looking at their positioning, content, backlink profiles, collection structures and comms, we identify where your hurdles and opportunities lie, and use that data to build a strategy that gives you an edge.
Keyword & Collection Research
Keyword research is still the cornerstone of SEO, but for Shopify, it goes beyond individual terms. We research the language your customers use, compare search volumes and ranking difficulty, and, working alongside our in-house PPC team, pull in paid-search data to see which terms are actually driving conversions rather than clicks. We then map that demand directly to your collection pages, product templates and supporting content. By aligning your store's structure with how people actually search, we help the right pages rank for the right terms and funnel shoppers into the journeys most likely to convert.
Content Marketing & On-Page Optimisation
Great Shopify SEO content works on two fronts. On-site, we optimise the pages that tell Google what your store is about, including collection pages, product descriptions, navigation and key landing pages, with your priority keywords in mind, and make sure product and collection schema is working hard for rich results and Google Shopping. Alongside that, our in-house content team creates blogs and editorial content that build topical authority around the themes you want to rank for, captivate your audience and earn relevant traffic. Everything is driven by data and keyword research, and monitored so it keeps performing over time.
Digital PR & Link Building
Backlinks remain one of Google's strongest signals of trust and authority, but quality matters far more than quantity. Our digital PR specialists craft idea-led campaigns that earn coverage and links from reputable, relevant publishers in your sector. That builds the domain authority your commercial pages need to compete in tougher categories, drives referral traffic, and strengthens the trust signals behind your rankings. Every opportunity is assessed for authority and relevance, so your link profile grows in a way that's sustainable and safe.
Shopify Site Migration
If you're moving to Shopify from another platform, or replatforming to Shopify Plus, getting the migration right is critical to protecting your rankings and traffic. With over 60 migrations successfully completed, we have an in-house, tried-and-trusted process that makes sure SEO elements aren't overlooked. We've even built our own tools, like Easy Redirects, to manage redirect mapping cleanly and stop hard-won rankings leaking away during the move. It's the kind of platform-specific experience that's hard to find, and easy to get wrong without.
Shopify Plus SEO
Shopify Plus brands have bigger catalogues, more complex collection structures and higher stakes, which means SEO foundations have to be stronger. We work with Plus teams on scalable taxonomy and templates, robust technical foundations, advanced internal linking and international setups, with our SEO strategists and developers collaborating so changes are implemented cleanly within your theme. Whether you're already on Plus or upgrading to it, we'll help you turn that scale into organic growth.
International SEO with Shopify Markets
If you sell across different territories, your store needs to be optimised for international search. Using Shopify Markets and international SEO best practice, we manage hreflang and canonical tags, advise on subfolder vs subdomain domain strategy, and send clear signals to search engines about which countries and languages you're targeting, so you can expand reach without cannibalising the rankings you already have.
Google Penalty Recovery
Seen a sudden drop in traffic and revenue? You may have been hit by an algorithmic penalty or a manual action. We'll audit your store to find the cause, whether it's undesirable backlinks, content-quality issues, or something more technical, and put together a clear plan to recover your rankings.
Transparent SEO Reporting
SEO isn't magic or some kind of arcane witchcraft. It's activity driven by data. Our approach to Shopify SEO is clear and transparent: we strip back the jargon and give you regular reports in plain English, showing what we've done, the results it delivered, and the next highest-priority steps. You'll always know where your investment is going and what it's earning.
