Frequently asked questions about Shopify SEO
What are the advantages of choosing Shopify over WordPress for SEO?
While WordPress is a versatile platform with strong SEO capabilities, Shopify offers several advantages in terms of SEO that give it an edge over WordPress.
- Built-in SEO Features: Shopify comes with essential SEO features out of the box, such as customisable meta titles, meta descriptions, and URL structures for products, collections, and pages. While WordPress requires plugins for similar functionality, Shopify provides these features by default, streamlining the optimisation process.
- Hosting: Shopify is a fully hosted platform, meaning it manages hosting infrastructure and server performance. This can result in faster loading times and better uptime compared to self-hosted WordPress sites, which may suffer from performance issues depending on hosting providers and configurations.
- Ecosystem and Support: Shopify offers a dedicated support team and extensive documentation to help users with SEO-related questions and issues. Additionally, the Shopify ecosystem includes a wide range of SEO apps and integrations tailored specifically for e-commerce stores, providing additional resources and support for SEO optimisation.
Are Shopify websites slow?
Shopify websites can vary in speed depending on various factors such as the theme used, the number and type of apps installed, the size and optimisation of images and other media, and the overall design and configuration of the website.
However, with proper optimisation techniques such as image compression, code minification, app auditing, and caching, Shopify websites can achieve fast loading times comparable to other platforms. It ultimately comes down to how well the website is designed, configured, and optimised for performance.
I want to expand internationally, is Shopify a good platform to choose?
Shopify can be a great platform to choose for SEO if you’re selling products overseas for these 3 reasons:
Shopify offers built-in multi-currency functionality, allowing you to sell in multiple currencies and cater to international customers. This enhances the user experience and can improve conversion rates for visitors from different countries.
Shopify allows you to implement hreflang tags, which signal to search engines the language and regional targeting of your content. Proper implementation of hreflang tags helps search engines serve the most relevant version of your content to users in different countries, avoiding duplicate content issues and improving SEO.
Shopify’s shipping and tax settings can be customised based on location, allowing you to provide accurate shipping rates and taxes for international orders. This improves the user experience and reduces cart abandonment, which can indirectly impact your SEO performance.
What are the common SEO pitfalls on Shopify websites?
Shopify often generates duplicate content through product variants, categories, and pagination, which can dilute your SEO efforts and lead to lower rankings.
To prevent these issues, you need to ensure that you’re only internally linking to one version across your website and that you’ve correctly set up canonicals.
We can see examples of this with enhanced product descriptions in the search results, including information on delivery, in-stock availability and more.
Is Shopify good for content marketing?
Whilst Shopify does have features that can support content marketing efforts like blog integration, content managment and integrations, it is primarily known as an e-commerce platform.
If you wish to have the best of both worlds,, we suggest building out a custom template for your blog. This way, you can try and combat issues like authorship profiles, URL structure and customisation that are hugely important for SEO.
