Shopify provides a solid foundation for SEO, but it requires additional efforts to fully optimise a store for search engines. Here’s a breakdown of what Shopify offers and what typically needs to be done additionally for complete SEO optimisation:

Our primary focus during a new build or rebuild will be on enhancing the user experience and optimising for conversions. This involves improving your site's design, usability, and overall functionality to ensure that visitors are more likely to complete a purchase. We do not include any of the additional SEO efforts.

While these improvements are crucial for turning visitors into customers, it's equally important to attract those visitors in the first place. This is where Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) comes in. SEO involves a range of techniques aimed at improving your site's visibility on search engines like Google, which helps drive organic (non-paid) traffic to your store.

What Shopify Offers for SEO:
- SEO-Friendly Themes: Shopify provides themes designed with SEO best practices.
- Automatic XML Sitemaps: Ensures search engines can index your site easily.
- Customizable Metadata: You can edit title tags and meta descriptions. (We do not include updating any Product/Collection Meta titles or Meta Descriptions)
- Clean URL Structure: Shopify supports SEO-friendly URLs.
- Mobile Optimisation: Shopify themes are mobile-responsive. Built-In Blogging Platform: Allows for content creation to boost SEO.
- 301 Redirects: Easy setup for maintaining SEO value when URLs change.

Why You Need Additional SEO Efforts: (Not Included)
- Keyword Research: Identifying the right keywords for your business.
- Technical SEO: Further optimisation of site speed, duplicate content management, and proper use of canonical tags.
- Link Building: Acquiring high-quality backlinks to improve rankings.
- Advanced Schema Markup: Implementing rich snippets and structured data.
- Local SEO: Optimizing for local search if you have a physical presence.

Our Approach:
- We focus on conversion rate optimisation to ensure your site is set up to convert visitors into customers.
- To fully leverage the benefits of these changes, implementing a comprehensive SEO strategy is essential. - SEO will help increase your site’s visibility, attract more visitors, and complement the work we've done on conversion optimisation.

Next Steps:
We recommend partnering with an SEO specialist or agency to develop and implement an SEO strategy tailored to your business. This will ensure that your site not only converts visitors effectively but also attracts a steady stream of organic traffic.
