Shopify SEO Audit
Technical, Content, and Theme-Level Issues — All in One Report
Catches the duplicate URLs, broken product schema, and platform limitations that generic audits miss. Shopify creates /collections/ and /products/ URL paths that cause duplicate content at scale. The audit finds every instance and tells you exactly how to fix it.
Full JavaScript rendering with Chromium — critical for Shopify stores where product data loads dynamically. Product schema validation, collection structure analysis, and Shopify-specific technical checks included. Branded PDF with fixes your developer can action.

What the Shopify Audit Checks
Duplicate URL Detection
Shopify creates /collections/[name]/products/[product] URLs alongside /products/[product]. Every duplicate identified with canonical tag validation
Product Schema Validation
Shopify's default schema is often incomplete or outdated. Price, availability, reviews, images, and brand fields checked for every product page
Collection Structure Analysis
How your collections and sub-collections are organised determines crawl efficiency. The audit maps the full hierarchy and identifies depth and cannibalisation issues
Shopify Speed Constraints
Shopify's shared hosting, Liquid rendering, and app scripts create speed challenges. Core Web Vitals assessed with Shopify-specific optimisation recommendations
App & Theme Impact
Third-party apps inject scripts that slow your store. The audit identifies which apps are degrading performance and whether their functionality justifies the cost
When a Shopify Audit Makes the Difference
Shopify is powerful — but its SEO constraints catch store owners by surprise.
- ✓ Your products aren't getting rich snippets — because Shopify's default product schema is missing fields or your theme overrides it incorrectly
- ✓ Google is indexing duplicate product URLs — the /collections/[name]/products/ path creates duplicates that canonical tags should handle but often don't
- ✓ Your store speed is declining — Shopify apps keep adding scripts, your theme is bloated, and Core Web Vitals are failing on mobile
- ✓ You're an agency managing Shopify clients and need platform-specific findings — not a generic report that doesn't understand Shopify's URL structure or Liquid constraints

Why Trust BrightIQ
Shopify has specific SEO constraints that generic tools don't understand. I built the Shopify layer because the duplicate URL problem alone costs stores rankings — and most audit tools don't even flag it.

AI generates fixes that work within Shopify's constraints. Branded PDF delivered same day to 72 hours. Every recommendation is actionable within your Shopify admin or theme editor.
How I Deliver This
The Shopify audit uses the same 40-check pipeline with a Shopify-specific layer on top. Crawl4AI's Chromium rendering is critical here — Shopify stores load product data dynamically, and basic crawlers miss it. The Shopify layer checks for the platform's known SEO issues: /collections/*/products/ duplicate URLs, canonical tag consistency, product schema completeness, collection page depth, app script bloat, and Liquid rendering quality. Every recommendation is platform-aware — it tells you what to change in your theme code, Shopify admin, or app settings.
