Shopify is built for selling — but out of the box, it's not built for SEO. I fix that.
Shopify powers millions of stores, but most owners don't realise the platform has SEO limitations baked in. I help Melbourne Shopify businesses work around those limitations and build organic traffic that drives sales.
Shopify is an incredible platform for running an online store. It's easy to use, reliable, and scales beautifully. But when it comes to SEO, it has quirks that can hold your rankings back if you don't know how to handle them.
Rigid URL structures. Limited control over certain technical elements. Duplicate content from product variants and collections. Auto-generated pages that bloat your site. These aren't dealbreakers — but they require a specialist approach.
Generic SEO advice doesn't always apply to Shopify. You need someone who understands how the platform works, what can be customised, and how to maximise your organic visibility within Shopify's framework.
Shopify forces URLs into formats like /collections/ and /products/. I optimise what you can control — handles, page titles, and site structure.
Products in multiple collections and variant pages create duplicates. I implement canonical tags correctly and manage collection assignments strategically.
Shopify's blog is basic compared to WordPress. I work within constraints to create SEO-optimised content and build supporting internal links.
Apps, large images, and theme bloat can slow your store. I audit your theme and apps, compress images, and remove unnecessary scripts.
Shopify creates pages for tags, vendors, and other elements that bloat your site. I noindex unnecessary pages, keeping Google focused on what matters.
I analyse your store's current SEO performance — technical issues, content gaps, structure problems, and competitor positioning.
I map target keywords to products, collections, and content opportunities — ensuring every important page has a clear focus.
I address Shopify-specific issues — duplicate content, canonical tags, site speed, auto-generated pages, and crawlability.
I optimise product pages, collection pages, and homepage — titles, descriptions, headings, images, and internal links.
I create or optimise blog content and supporting pages that capture traffic earlier in the buyer journey.
I track rankings, traffic, and sales from organic search — refining the strategy based on what's driving results.
My Shopify SEO services are ideal for:
"I didn't realise Shopify had so many SEO issues until Bhavleen audited our store. He fixed problems our previous agency never mentioned — and our organic traffic has tripled."
"We were 100% dependent on Facebook ads. Bhavleen built our organic channel from nothing — now 35% of sales come from Google without spending a cent on ads."
Got questions? Here are the most common ones I get about this service.
Shopify can rank well, but it has limitations compared to platforms like WordPress. With the right optimisations, you can absolutely compete — it just requires understanding Shopify's quirks and working around them.
Shopify's URL structure is largely fixed, but I optimise everything you can control — handles, site hierarchy, and internal linking — to minimise the impact.
Some do. Apps that add heavy scripts or create unnecessary pages can slow your site and bloat your index. I audit your apps and recommend which to keep, remove, or replace.
Most Shopify stores see measurable improvements within 3–6 months. Quick wins like fixing technical issues and optimising top products can show results faster.
Yes, if you grant access. I can implement changes directly or provide detailed instructions for you or your developer — whatever works best for you.
SEO can significantly reduce your reliance on paid ads by building a sustainable organic traffic channel. Most stores see the best results using both together, with SEO lowering overall customer acquisition costs.
