One thing is running a Shopify store. Getting it to show up on Google is a different story. In 2025, there is a lot of competition, and search engines want speed, relevance, and trust. This guide shows you the best ways to do SEO for Shopify so that people can find and buy your products.
Shopify comes with a lot of great things right away, like good themes, SSL, and clean URLs. However, it does have some limitations, like not being able to access the server. That means that the changes you make, the apps you choose, and the way you plan your content can all help your SEO.
Use URLs that people can read and that include your target keyword (like /mens-leather-jacket). Don’t use long query strings or parameters that don’t matter.
By default, Shopify turns on SSL. Make sure that all pages, not just the checkout page, use HTTPS.
Use the default robots.txt file from Shopify and send your sitemap.xml file (usually found at yourstore.com/sitemap.xml) to Google Search Console.
Pick themes that load quickly. Don’t use too many apps that make your phone slow. Put off scripts that aren’t important. Make your Liquid templates better by minifying CSS and JS and lazy-loading images.
Every product and collection page should have its own title and meta description. Use keywords in a natural way. Don’t make the same thing twice with similar products.
Don’t just trust what the manufacturer says. Include original content like features, benefits, and tips for using it. Use lists of bullets, pictures, and videos.
Use product schema (price, availability, ratings) so that Google can show rich snippets. A lot of Shopify SEO apps can help with this.
Put links from blogs, guides, and products that are related to your collection pages. Use anchor text that makes sense in the context.
For Shopify stores, blogs are your awareness and consideration engine. Make guides that say “how to use,” “comparison,” and “best X.” Connect these to pages about the product.
Group content around pillars (e.g. “leather jacket care”) and link supporting articles to a main content hub.
To keep older blog posts at the top of the search results, add new images, updated data, and more “related product” blocks.
You can check LCP, CLS, and INP with either PageSpeed Insights or the Shopify Speed Report. Use critical CSS, image optimization, and code splitting.
Periodically audit installed apps. Take out the ones that make loading times longer.
Only load images, videos, and other things that are off-screen when they are needed.
Make sure your layout, buttons, pictures, and checkout all work on mobile devices. Shopify themes work on all devices, but you should test them on real devices and emulators.
