Senior expert review
A Shopify-specific review of your theme, catalog, and Search Console by the expert who'll do the work.
The Problem
Your Last SEO Audit Is Still Unfixed
It happens when advice and code live in different places. The SEO person writes recommendations, your developer has other priorities, and the fixes sit in a shared doc for months.
01 · Unused audit
Your last SEO audit is still a PDF nobody acted on.
One expert reads both the audit and your theme code, then fixes it.
02 · Liquid fixes
Half the fixes need Liquid changes your team isn't sure about.
Your expert ships the theme-level fixes personally, on a preview theme first.
03 · Priorities
Your marketer can't tell real issues from padding.
Every fix is ranked by revenue impact, with plain answers on what matters.
04 · Dependence
The audit's agency wants a retainer just to explain it.
Code reviews and a training session help your developers keep SEO healthy.
You paid for an SEO audit last spring. It arrived as a long PDF, and your developer opened it once. Half the fixes need Liquid changes nobody on your team feels sure about. Your marketer can't tell which items matter and which are padding. Meanwhile, the same duplicate URLs and schema errors show up in Search Console every month. The agency behind the audit wants a retainer to explain it.
We give you one expert who reads both the audit and the code. Your expert ranks every fix by revenue impact, ships the theme-level ones personally, and hands your developers clear notes for the rest. Your marketer gets plain answers on what matters. A good SEO/Shopify expert should leave your team stronger, not more dependent.
One expert, start to finish
The person who reviews your store is the person who fixes it and answers your questions.
Fixes shipped, not just listed
Theme and schema fixes go live on a preview theme first, then on your store.
Your team gets stronger
Clear notes, code reviews, and a training session so your developers can keep SEO healthy.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built stores, websites, and search-friendly catalogs for.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.
Our old store was making it way too difficult for people to find products. We had a large catalogue, but the search, filters, and mobile navigation were frustrating customers. The team completely changed how the store handled product discovery and made the experience much easier to use on mobile. I was especially impressed by how much thought went into the customer journey rather than just the visual design. They understood what we were trying to achieve and turned it into a store that actually feels built for our customers. We’re genuinely proud of the result.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.

Work Culture
Why Store Owners Hire Our Experts Directly
Hiring one expert only works if that person is senior, candid, and easy to work with. These are the habits of a Shopify ecommerce SEO expert on our team.
The reviewer does the fixes
The expert who reads your theme is the one who changes it. Nothing gets lost between a strategist and a developer you don't know.
Candid about what matters
Some audit items barely move rankings. Your expert tells you which ones to skip, so your budget goes to fixes that change results.
Your developers stay in charge
We work inside your team's process, not around it. Your developers see every change, and each review note explains the SEO reason behind it.
Knowledge stays with you
Every session is recorded, and every fix comes with a short note. When the engagement ends, your team keeps the know-how.
Speed is part of SEO
Your expert checks Core Web Vitals before and after each template change. If an app slows your pages, you'll hear which one and what it costs.
Straight talk on timing
Rankings usually move 4 to 6 months after fixes go live. You'll hear that on the first call, along with a realistic traffic target for your store.

It depends on who will do the work. A consultant advises and your team implements. An agency brings a larger team for content and links, usually on a monthly retainer. An expert like ours sits between them: one senior person who diagnoses the problems, ships the theme fixes, and coaches your developers.
Choose someone who can show you Liquid code they've changed, not just audits they've written. Ask how they handle collection-path product URLs, duplicate schema from review apps, and redirects that only fire on 404 pages. Google's own guide to hiring an SEO warns against anyone who promises a top ranking. Every SEO expert Shopify merchants hire should explain trade-offs plainly.
Our expert plans cost $950, $1,950, or $2,850, depending on how much your own team ships. The $950 Expert Review includes a working session and a ranked action plan. Review + Fixes adds hands-on theme fixes and SEO reviews of your developers' changes. Embedded Expert adds a keyword map, team training, and 90 days of monitoring. Every plan starts with a free discovery call.
Most Shopify stores see ranking movement 4 to 6 months after an expert's main fixes go live. The findings arrive in about a week, and the first theme fixes usually ship within the following month. When your developers ship part of the plan, their release schedule sets the pace, so we plan the order with them.
Often yes, because apps handle fields, not causes. An SEO app can fill meta tags, alt text, and basic JSON-LD across your catalog quickly and cheaply. It can't change how your theme links products, which filters create indexable URLs, or why a review app duplicates your schema. If the app already covers everything we find, we'll say so.
Yes, that's the core of the engagement: the expert who audits your store ships the theme-level fixes personally. Canonical product links, filter rules, schema, and meta templates go live on a preview theme first, after your approval. Larger changes, like new collection layouts, can go to your developers with notes and example code instead.
Yes, most of our expert engagements run alongside an in-house developer or marketer. Your developers keep ownership of the theme, and the expert reviews their changes for SEO side effects before release. We share notes in your tools, join your planning calls when useful, and record the training so new hires can watch it later.
We treat collections as your main ranking pages and product schema as a template job, not a product-by-product task. Each key collection gets one target search, a unique H1, and short intro copy that doesn't push products below the fold. For schema, your expert maps which template outputs each Product field and fixes it once, so every product inherits the change.
You get a plain-English report after each phase of work, with a short recorded video walkthrough. Each report shows indexed pages, clicks, and impressions for your target collections from Search Console, plus organic revenue from GA4. It also lists what we'd change next and why. The data stays in your own Google accounts.
It ends with a handover, not a cliff. Your expert walks your team through what changed, what to watch in Search Console, and which risks remain. The fixes stay in your theme, the plan and reports stay in your accounts, and the training recording stays with your team. You can book another review later, with no subscription.
