How to become a Shopify SEO expert

Becoming a Shopify SEO expert is on lots of people’s to-do list. Maybe you have a Shopify store of your own, and you’re wondering if you really need to hire someone to do it for you. Or perhaps you’re interested in becoming an SEO expert and hiring your services out to other Shopify store owners. Either way, there’s a lot to learn. But it might not be as difficult as you think! In this post we explain what you’ll need to learn and how to get started.

You’ll need general SEO knowledge

The basic elements of SEO are the same whichever platform you’re working with. To become a real expert you’ll need to know the general principles of optimizing a site and its content for SEO. It helps to have a good understanding of search engine algorithms too. If you already have a good understanding of SEO, great! Otherwise, you should work on that first.

Develop Shopify-specific SEO skills

Besides regular SEO knowledge, becoming a Shopify SEO expert means developing some specific skills and knowledge. Firstly, there’s a lot to learn about ecommerce SEO, especially when it comes to optimizing product pages and category pages. You’ll want to be able to work with structured data as well.

And of course, you should really know your way around Shopify and its intricacies. Out of the box, it’s not considered to be the most SEO-friendly platform. But with a bit of know-how, you’ll be well on your way to getting those product pages ranking in the search results. Or in Google’s product listings. You can find lots more information about these topics in our ultimate guide to Shopify SEO.
