Who is responsible for the structured data in your Shopify store?

Yesterday I was looking at my support metrics and saw that 42% of my support conversations for JSON-LD for SEO were problems in another app's or the theme's structured data. While it's not the fault of my app, I do know enough about how structured data works that I'll still...

Blogging for traffic on multiple Shopify stores

A JSON-LD for SEO customer emailed about blogging on Shopify: I have two Shopify sites [for international sales] (planning on getting more too). How would the Shopify Blog handle this - or best to choose one (say .com) and go from there? Unless there's a major difference in the types...

Check your Shopify theme for SEO-harming duplicate title tags

I've been noticing a lot more Shopify stores have invalid title and description tags. These are what Google uses for your search results and have a major factor in ranking, conversions, and customer trust building. But now I'm seeing multiple stores per week with duplicate title and description tags, often...

It's not Google's responsibility to index your Shopify store

I've seen this come up a few times, especially in Shopify forums. It's not Google's responsibility to index your store. You need to have content that is good enough for Google to want to index it. They want to index everything but if you have no content, content copied from...

There are a lot of great behavioral data you can get from orders, but products have their own great data points especially around initial customer behavior (i.e. what causes the first purchase). I'm happy to announce that...

SEO for Shopify and ecommerce VS non-ecommerce SEO

A JSON-LD for SEO customer asked: In your experience, do you think e-commerce SEO is a bit different than non e-commerce SEO? At the core, SEO for ecommerce is the same as any other website at least on the tactical level (the what you do). On a higher, strategy-level there...

The slow simmer SEO

I've been slacking on my own SEO. With the kiddo home, the stuff happening in the world, and the new projects I'm working on for my apps, time has definitely become a premium resource. Which means it's been a few months since I've looked at or actively worked on my...

A/B tests are a great safety net when you can use them

I've been working on a new design for Repeat Customer Insight's pricing page. It's been functional and describes what each level of account receives, but it was designed a long-time ago when the app had fewer features and only needed a paragraph or two. Now that the app has matured...
