Every Shopify SEO agency you call will send back a proposal. We send back a target: the deliverables, the outlets, the timeline, and the numbers we’re accountable for, agreed before kickoff and backed by a 100% guarantee. You get the agreed results or your money back.
The stakes
Paid social and paid search deliver orders for exactly as long as the card keeps clearing, and the cost per order climbs every quarter you run them. Organic keeps paying after you stop.
The reason most merchants stall isn’t effort. Shopify hands you a store that looks finished and buries its search problems in places the theme editor never shows you. Two years of product uploads later, Google is crawling color filters instead of your best sellers, your collection pages rank for nothing you would ever bid on, and the growth plan quietly becomes “spend more on ads”.
The admin never shows you
Shopify is strong on the fundamentals and awkward in ways that catch up with you at scale. Four problems show up in almost every store we audit.
Every product is reachable at /products/handle and again at /collections/name/products/handle. Shopify sets a canonical for you, and the moment a theme, an app, or a custom template overrides it, one product starts competing with five copies of itself.
Faceted navigation and tag based collections generate crawlable combinations by the thousand. Crawl budget goes to size and color permutations while new arrivals wait weeks to get indexed.
Reviews, upsells, popups, subscriptions, loyalty. Each one drops scripts into your theme, and uninstalled apps routinely leave render blocking code behind. Core Web Vitals fall, and so does mobile conversion rate.
A title and a product grid give Google nothing to rank. In ecommerce the commercial keywords live on collection pages, not blog posts, and most stores leave them empty.
None of this reads as a ranking problem inside your admin. It reads as flat revenue.
The services
Canonical control across collections and variants, robots and sitemap rules, filter and pagination handling, indexation control, Liquid and theme speed work, Core Web Vitals remediation, app audits, technical SEO.
We map commercial terms to collection pages, build the collections your catalog is missing, and route internal links so authority reaches the pages that sell.
Unique copy instead of supplier descriptions, metadata, product and review schema, alt text, and out of stock handling that keeps the URL and its links alive.
Buying guides, comparison pages, sizing and care guides, gift guides, built from buyer intent research rather than raw search volume.
Editorial placements in publications people actually read, not directory submissions.
Feed hygiene and free product listings, so the organic Shopping surfaces stop leaking revenue.
Moving to Shopify or Shopify Plus with a full URL map, 301 redirects written before launch, and daily monitoring after it, so rankings survive the switch.
GA4, Search Console and Tag Manager set up correctly, then organic revenue, non branded traffic, conversion rate, share of search, and AI citations.
DTC brands, Shopify Plus merchants, catalogs from a few hundred SKUs into six figures, B2B and wholesale storefronts, subscription brands, and international stores running Shopify Markets with hreflang across regions, international SEO. On another platform, start at ecommerce SEO, BigCommerce SEO or Magento SEO.
AI answers
A shopper asking ChatGPT for the best merino base layer for winter running gets four brand names back, not ten blue links. There’s no auction to enter and no position to climb. The model assembles that shortlist from sources it already trusts: editorial coverage, roundups in real publications, and product data structured cleanly enough for a machine to read.
That’s generative engine optimization, and it runs on entity first content, citation engineering, structured data, and authority distribution, AI SEO. Any agency can rewrite your product descriptions. Getting your brand named inside an article the models are trained on and retrieve from is a PR job, and PR is our other half, public relations. We report AI citations as a KPI, next to rankings and revenue.
The first 90 days
We crawl the store, review the theme and every installed app, pull GA4 and Search Console, and record where you rank today in Google and where you show up in AI answers.
Deliverables, outlets, timelines, and the metrics we’re accountable for go on paper. The guarantee attaches to that document.
Indexation and canonical work first, then collections and products in order of what earns. Content and media outreach run in parallel, so authority arrives while the fixes land.
Organic revenue, non branded sessions, top 3 rankings, AI citations. Quarterly we reset the roadmap against what actually moved.
Why AceIt
The risk in hiring a Shopify SEO agency was never the monthly fee. It’s month seven.
A folder of dashboards, a faster theme, a slightly better Core Web Vitals score, no coverage anyone can name, and an organic revenue line that still looks like January. The agency keeps twelve months of retainer. You explain it to your founder.
So we carry that risk instead of you. Targets, timelines, outlets and deliverables are agreed before kickoff. If we don’t deliver what we committed to, on the timeline we committed to, you get your money back. A 100% guarantee on every engagement, and it is not a clause you will find in the contract of any agency you’re comparing us to.
What we will never do is promise you position one for a head term. Nobody owns Google’s results, and any agency guaranteeing rankings is misleading you. The refund backs the agreed deliverables and the outcomes we do control: qualified organic traffic, catalog indexation, share of search, and the citations AI engines hand out in your category.
You deal with senior people who reply in 1 to 2 hours, not an account manager forwarding a template. PR, SEO and GEO, and web all sit under one roof, so the coverage we earn feeds your rankings and the AI answers your buyers read first.
| Criterion | Typical Shopify SEO agency | AceIt |
|---|---|---|
| If the targets are missed | You paid for the effort | You get your money back |
| Pricing | A quote after three calls | Published before you book |
| Digital PR | Link volume, outlets unnamed | Named publications, earned, never paid |
| AI search | A paragraph on the services page | A tracked KPI with real coverage behind it |
| Who runs your account | A junior account manager | Senior people, replies in 1 to 2 hours |
Proof
Clients have been featured in
Our PR work drove over 1 million brand impressions for Vezbi, a community super app, on its way into the U.S. market, every one of them earned organically, the Vezbi case study. Our Forbes program has secured 50+ placements across 12+ industries, with most clients seeing a first opportunity in 4 to 8 weeks, on the Forbes program. One feature for a client anonymized under NDA returned 4,200+ visits, a 38% lift in branded search, a DA 94 backlink, and 12 secondary pickups. Clients have been featured in USA Today Network, Daily Mail, WWD, Mashable, Entrepreneur, Glamour, Elle and Sourcing Journal. For a consumer brand on Shopify, that coverage does three jobs at once: an editorial link, a lift in branded search, and a mention the language models pick up when someone asks for a recommendation. We attach timeframes to every number, because a percentage without one is decoration, more at case studies.
The fit
Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants already doing real volume, with catalogs from a few hundred SKUs upward. Fashion, beauty, wellness, supplements, jewelry, home, pet, and B2B wholesale storefronts. Founders, ecommerce managers and marketing directors who are done letting ad costs decide their margin. If your plan needs press as much as rankings, read consumer PR.
It doesn’t fit a store that launched last month with twelve products and no reviews yet; start with small business SEO. It doesn’t fit anyone shopping for the cheapest backlinks on the internet, and it doesn’t fit a merchant who wants a number one ranking promised by Friday.

Across specialist agencies that publish their numbers, Shopify SEO starts around $4,000 a month. Our SEO engagements run mid five figures to six figures a year, scaled to catalog size, competition and the technical condition of the store. Media placements are priced individually and published up front, and Forbes campaigns are scoped and priced in writing before kickoff, on the pricing page.
Yes, with caveats. Out of the box you get clean URLs, fast global hosting, SSL, automatic sitemaps and sensible default canonicals, which is more than most platforms manage. The friction arrives at scale: limited control over robots directives, duplicate product paths across collections, filter URLs that eat crawl budget, and a fixed /collections/ and /products/ structure. All of it is workable. None of it fixes itself.
Early signals show inside 4 to 8 weeks, usually as recovered indexation and movement on collection terms. We commit to meaningful results in 6 to 12 months and work to a 12 month roadmap, because compounding is the point. Technical work lands first: clearing indexation waste can surface hundreds of buried product URLs in a quarter. Media placements move fastest of all.
Indexation waste. Between duplicate product paths across collections and the filter and tag URLs faceted navigation creates, a mid size store can hand Google tens of thousands of near identical pages to crawl. Google spends its budget there instead of on your new arrivals and revenue collections. Fixing canonicals, robots rules and internal linking is usually the highest value week of the whole engagement.
Yes, within an honest scope. Before kickoff we agree the deliverables, the outlets, the timelines and the metrics, and all of it goes in writing. If we don’t deliver what we committed to, on the timeline we committed to, you get your money back. What no ethical agency guarantees is a specific position for a specific keyword, because the results page belongs to Google, not to us.
Not always. Under about fifty products in a category with weak competition, a Shopify SEO expert on a fixed project can handle the audit, the technical fixes and the collection strategy, and your team maintains it. You need an agency once the catalog scales, competitors outspend you, or you need editorial coverage and AI visibility no single freelancer can produce. If we take it on and miss, you get refunded.
