SEO promotion for Shopify developers
About client
An IT company specializing in the creation and support of e-commerce projects on Shopify approached us. The company operates in the US, Canada, and EU markets, focusing on development, migrations, theme customization, and integrations.rnrnThey had strong expertise but weak organic presence. The site was hardly ranking, there were virtually no SEO inquiries, and potential clients came only from paid traffic.
Project goal
Increase the visibility of the Shopify developer’s site in search engines, boost organic traffic share, and attract quality leads without reliance on paid advertising. Establish a long-term SEO foundation that consistently generates clients from the US and Europe.
How we achieved this result
The Problem
The client faced a typical situation for niche technical websites:
- low visibility in search for commercial queries
- lack of a deep SEO structure for Shopify services
- weak content: lacking keywords, expertise, and CTAs
- technical errors that hindered indexing
- minimal external links and zero domain authority
Therefore, the first conclusion was obvious: the site looked good visually, but it did not sell or rank.
The Solution
Before improving anything, it is necessary to understand what works and what does not.
We conducted a full SEO audit of the Shopify developer’s site and analyzed:
- loading speed
- service page structure
- canonical tags and indexing
- metadata
- internal linking
- behavioral metrics
- technical errors that hindered growth
After the audit, we developed a working strategy that included stable SEO actions every month:
1. Created the correct SEO structure for the site
The company had only a few general pages. We divided the services into logical categories:
- Shopify development
- Shopify migration
- Shopify support
- Theme customization
- Landing pages for specific markets (US, UK, Europe)
This way, the site began to align with what clients are actually searching for in these markets and allowed us to cover more expensive queries and clearly address user intentions.
2. Collected and clustered SEO semantics
We gathered over 1800 key queries and categorized everything. This resulted in clear priorities, and all pages received their relevant keywords.
3. Rewrote content for commercial intent
We did not just add texts. We created content that answers clients’ questions and addresses objections. The content became expert, structured, and SEO-optimized.
We added:
- clear headings with keywords
- meta descriptions with a commercial CTA
- expertise arguments
- benefit blocks
- FAQ for real search intents
- internal linking between Shopify services
4. Launched content strategy (Shopify SEO Blog)
We created 12 articles that addressed informational queries and showcased the company’s expertise.
Among them were topics:
- how to choose a Shopify developer
- Shopify vs Shopify Plus
- how to prepare a store for migration
- top Shopify plugins for scaling
These articles began to bring in warm organic traffic that converts into leads.
5. Aligned the technical part
We optimized speed, indexing, sitemap, H-structure, duplicate pages, and pages that were accidentally open for indexing. Google started indexing new pages faster.
6. Gradually increased external mentions
To enhance domain authority and trust with Google, we did not engage in aggressive link building. Only quality:
- IT company directories
- crowd links
- reputation mentions
- guest articles on niche platforms
