Shopify SEO Services for Canadian Ecommerce Brands

Six to twelve months for meaningful movement, longer in competitive categories. Some things land much sooner: indexing fixes, product schema, and rewriting titles on pages that already get impressions can show in Search Console within weeks. Anyone giving you a date before seeing your store is guessing.

Usually one of five things. The store is too new, your pages are not indexed, your product copy is the supplier description twenty other stores also use, your collection pages have almost no text, or you are chasing keywords above your current authority. An audit tells you which.

Check four things in order: a recent redesign or migration with missing redirects, a change in Search Console indexing coverage, a Google update near that date, or simple seasonality. Technical causes often recover within weeks of being fixed. Authority problems take longer.

Yes, with known limits. Hosting, HTTPS, mobile rendering and sitemaps are handled well out of the box. The constraints are a fixed URL structure, duplicate product URLs through collections, limited robots.txt control, and apps that inject scripts. All workable once you know they exist.

Typically $1,500 to $6,000 a month depending on catalogue size, competition and how much implementation is included. Freelancers sit lower, large agencies higher. We do not publish packages, because a number quoted before seeing a store is either inflated or gets revised later.

Much of it, yes. Writing your own product descriptions, adding content to collection pages, fixing alt text and setting up Search Console are all within reach. Where people get stuck is diagnosing why Google ignores certain pages, cleaning up duplicate URLs, and editing Liquid safely.

Usually not. Most of what SEO apps do can be handled in your theme for free, and every app adds scripts that slow the store. Apps earn their place for bulk metadata on very large catalogues and redirect management during a migration. Little else.

Only when they support a product or collection page. Articles answering pre-purchase questions like sizing, materials or compatibility bring traffic that converts and give you somewhere to link from. Blogging for volume alone produces visitors who never reach a cart.

Open Search Console and check the Pages report. The usual causes are products excluded by a noindex setting, pages crawled but not indexed because the content is thin or duplicated, products buried too deep in the site structure, or a sitemap that omits them.

The platform decides what is possible. Shopify has a fixed URL structure, serves products at multiple addresses through collections, uses Liquid rather than plugins, and has an app ecosystem that creates URLs and injects code. Knowing those limits saves months of wasted effort.

Yes, and it is the core of the work. Collection pages are the biggest untapped opportunity on most stores, because category searches carry more volume than individual product searches and most collections ship as a bare grid. Product pages need to move past the supplier description.

Mostly size and delivery. A consultant is one expert who advises and hands specifications to your team. An agency or company covers technical, content and reporting, and usually implements as well. What matters more is whether they have worked on Shopify specifically.

Diagnose why Google is not sending your store traffic, then fix it. That means auditing crawling and indexing, rewriting collection and product pages, cleaning up duplicate URLs and redirects, researching what your buyers search, adding structured data, and reporting what each change did.

No, and neither can anyone else. Nobody controls Google, so a ranking guarantee is either a bet or a lie. We commit to improving the technical health, relevance and authority of your store, and reporting results from your own Search Console so you can see what the work returned.
