Everything your store needs to rank and convert

Four systems, one goal: putting your Shopify store top-of-page for the keywords shoppers actually buy from.
01 — TECHNICAL

Technical Shopify SEO

We fix the platform-specific issues that quietly cap your rankings — the ones generic agencies miss because they don’t live inside Shopify.
  • Duplicate collection/product URL cleanup & canonical strategy
  • Crawl-budget recovery: tag pages, filters, and index bloat
  • Core Web Vitals & theme speed optimization
  • Structured data for products, reviews, and FAQs
02 — CONTENT

AI-Assisted SEO Content

Human-led strategy, AI-accelerated production. Every page is keyword-mapped to buyer intent and edited by a strategist — never published raw.
  • Collection page copy that ranks and sells
  • Buying guides & comparison content for mid-funnel keywords
  • Product description optimization at catalog scale
  • Internal linking architecture that compounds authority
03 — LOCAL

Local GEO Targeting

For brands that win regionally: we capture “near me” and city-level searches that national competitors can’t defend.
  • Location-intent landing pages with localized schema
  • Google Business Profile optimization
  • City/state keyword mapping across the USA
  • Local citation & review-signal building
04 — AI SEARCH

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

Shoppers increasingly ask AI what to buy. We make sure Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, ChatGPT, and Perplexity cite your store as the answer.
  • Entity & brand optimization for AI answer engines
  • Question-formatted content AI models can cite
  • Schema depth that feeds AI Overviews
  • Visibility tracking across AI search surfaces
Why Shopify-Only

A Shopify-only SEO agency vs. a generalist

Shopify isn’t WordPress. Its URL structure, theme architecture, and indexing quirks need platform-native playbooks — not generic checklists.

Our Process

A solid process, from teardown to top-of-page

No vague “discovery phases.” Five phases, each with named deliverables and a timeframe — you always know what shipped, what’s next, and what it’s doing to revenue.

Deep-Dive Teardown & Revenue Roadmap

Week 1
We crawl your entire store, benchmark against your top 3 competitors, and map every keyword opportunity to revenue potential — so the roadmap is ranked by money, not vanity metrics.
You get
  • Full technical audit
  • Keyword-to-revenue map
  • Competitor gap analysis
  • Prioritized 90-day roadmap

Technical Sprint

Weeks 2–4
We fix what’s capping you first: Shopify’s duplicate collection URLs, tag-page index bloat, crawl waste, theme speed, and missing structured data. This alone often unlocks rankings your content already deserves.
You get
  • Canonical & redirect fixes
  • Index bloat cleanup
  • Core Web Vitals optimization
  • Product & review schema live

On-Page & Content Build

Months 2–3
Content ships weekly, never in a big-bang dump. Every collection page, buying guide, and product description is mapped to a buyer keyword from the roadmap and interlinked to compound authority.
You get
  • Optimized collection copy
  • Buying guides & comparisons
  • Internal linking architecture
  • Catalog-scale product descriptions

GEO & AEO Expansion

Months 3–4
With fundamentals ranking, we expand into local GEO targeting and AI search: location-intent pages for regional buyers, and entity-optimized content that gets your store cited in AI Overviews, Copilot, ChatGPT, and Perplexity.
You get
  • Local landing pages + schema
  • Google Business Profile optimization
  • AI-citable question content
  • AI-search visibility tracking

Compound, Report & Defend

Ongoing
Monthly reporting tied to organic revenue — not sessions. We double down on what’s winning, build authority links, and defend the rankings you’ve earned against competitors and algorithm shifts.
You get
  • Monthly revenue-tied report
  • Authority link building
  • Ranking defense & iteration
  • Quarterly strategy review

FAQ

Shopify SEO, answered

What does a Shopify SEO agency actually do?

A Shopify SEO agency improves your store's visibility in search engines so you earn more organic traffic and sales. At LeanScaleMedia that means fixing Shopify-specific technical issues (duplicate collection URLs, crawl waste, slow themes), building keyword-mapped collection and product content, earning authority, and optimizing for AI-driven answer engines — all focused on buyer-intent keywords that convert.

How long does Shopify SEO take to show results?

Most Shopify stores see early movement in 4–8 weeks from technical fixes and on-page optimization, with meaningful traffic and revenue growth in 3–6 months. Competitive niches take longer; stores with existing authority move faster. We prioritize quick wins first so you see momentum inside the first 30 days.

How much do Shopify SEO services cost?

Pricing depends on your catalog size, competition, and goals. We scope engagements after a free Shopify SEO teardown of your store, so you only pay for work that maps to revenue opportunities — not a one-size-fits-all retainer.

Why hire a Shopify-only SEO agency instead of a general SEO agency?

Shopify has platform-specific SEO quirks: duplicate product URLs from collections, tag-page index bloat, theme speed constraints, and limited control over robots and redirects. A Shopify-only agency has playbooks for all of these from day one, while a generalist spends your retainer learning the platform.

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and do I need it?

AEO is optimizing your content so AI-driven search experiences — Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, ChatGPT, and Perplexity — cite and recommend your store when shoppers ask buying questions. As more product discovery shifts to AI answers, AEO protects and grows the traffic that classic rankings alone no longer capture.

Do you use AI to write content? Is that safe for SEO?

We use AI-assisted content systems: AI accelerates research and drafting, but every page is keyword-mapped by a strategist, edited by a human, and enriched with original product expertise. Google rewards helpful content regardless of how it's produced — what it penalizes is unedited, mass-generated filler, which we never publish.

Can you do local SEO (GEO targeting) for a Shopify store?

Yes. For brands that sell or ship regionally, we build local GEO targeting: location-intent landing pages, localized schema, Google Business Profile optimization, and city/state keyword mapping so you win searches like "near me" and "[product] in [city]".

Do you require long-term contracts?

No. We earn retention with results, not lock-ins. Engagements are month-to-month after the initial roadmap phase, and you keep everything we build — content, schema, and technical fixes live in your store, not ours.
