The project was a challenge, but FJ Solutions handled it excellently. The result is a fully functional and intuitive theme. Additionally, because the team created their own solutions instead of using external libraries, the site operates faster, which led to a 30% increase in conversion rates a huge advantage for us. Content management has become much simpler, and the checkout was tailored precisely to our needs.

Undisclosed Owner at Bliss Boutiques

eCommerce Development Review from Undisclosed
We have been working with First Pier for almost 10 years now, beginning with the launch of our women’s boutique E-Commerce business. First Pier has been responsible for our e-commerce store design, web development, e-commerce SEO, digital strategy, online marketing campaigns and beyond ever since. As a already successful brick and mortar retailer, we saw an opportunity to reach beyond our existing customer bases in Portland, Maine & Portsmouth, New Hampshire by creating an online shopping experience accessible 24/7 and nationwide. First Pier has helped us turn that vision into reality by taking us from no online store and zero sales to a dependable thriving new channel for our business that continues to grow. Our experience with Shopify started when First Pier migrated our site from Magento to a Shopify website. Since First Pier is a designated Shopify Expert, we knew we could trust them with the daunting task of moving all of our products, accounts, and customer history to our new Shopify site. They made the transition to a new e-commerce system painless by ensuring our hands were held along the way, we were thoroughly trained, and none of the SEO ranking keywords were lost. We continue to work with First Pier on expanding our use of Google Shopping SEO and will be implementing Shopify’s Point of Sale in the coming year as part of a continued effort to deliver a unified customer experience at our stores. As a small women’s boutique based in Maine, we are now able to deliver our customer experience to tourist and seasonal customers where they are year round. We would recommend First Pier to anyone looking to build or update a Shopify store.

First Pier helped us move, update, and launch our online business on Shopify. As a high-traffic bakery, it was important to us that customers buying from around the country were able to view the quality of our products, feel the vibe of our Portland and South Portland shops, and trust that their order would be as special as a visit to our Maine bakery. First Pier delivered mouth-watering e-commerce product photography, an easy-to-use site, and supported us every step of the way. Our shoppable site is now optimized, accurately reflects our brand, and has poised us for growth.

Kenny and team (Katie, Ann and more) are wonderful to work with. They will help your business and they will make it easy for you. They helped our business on several fronts including website redesign, marketing and even resolved some internal IT issues that I did not have the knowledge or time to address. From my 1st meeting with Kenny it was apparent he was very experienced and he did a great job of listening to our needs while making seasoned suggestions as to what would work best for a business like ours. Kenny always has a solution and they fulfilled the scope of work we agreed too in a very professional manner. Forest City's assistance did not end when the site was launched, instead over the next few months they helped out with any issue or question I had. He made several videos on how to work with our new site and simply made everything easy for us. Couldn't be happier with this company, feel fortunate we were able to work with them and I look forward to working with them again. I highly recommend this business.

How much do Shopify SEO services cost, and what affects pricing?
Most SEO services for Shopify cost between $1,000 and $15,000 per month, with the price largely dictated by scope rather than agency size.
For example, a store with 300 products and a clean technical foundation requires significantly less work than a catalog with 20,000 stock keeping units (SKUs) and multiple international storefronts.
The biggest factors influencing price are:
Catalog size: Larger inventories require more technical optimization and content.
Competition: Fashion, supplements, beauty, and electronics typically require more aggressive content and link acquisition.
Content production: Original buying guides, collection pages, and product optimization often account for a substantial share of the requested work.
Technical complexity: Custom themes, Shopify Markets, migrations, and Core Web Vitals improvements increase implementation effort.
Link acquisition: Digital PR and editorial backlinks are frequently priced separately from month-to-month optimization.
What do Shopify SEO companies charge that most buyers don't expect?
Most Shopify SEO companies exclude content production, technical development, and digital PR from their base retainers.
These costs often appear only after the strategy has been approved, which makes comparing proposals difficult.
The most commonly excluded services are:
Content creation: Collection pages, buying guides, blog articles, and product copy
Development: Theme updates, schema implementation, Core Web Vitals improvements, and custom coding
Link acquisition: Digital PR campaigns and editorial outreach
International SEO: Shopify Markets implementation, hreflang tags, and multilingual optimization
Migration support: Redirect mapping, QA, and post-launch monitoring
How do I know if I'm hiring the right Shopify SEO company for my budget?
You're hiring the right Shopify SEO agency for your budget if the potential revenue growth justifies the monthly investment.
The biggest pricing mistake buyers make is comparing retainers instead of comparing execution. A $1,500/month agency that only delivers audits and reports can be more expensive than a $4,000/month agency that improves rankings, qualified traffic, and revenue.
The easiest way to compare proposals is to evaluate what each agency is committing to deliver. During the sales process, ask every Shopify SEO consultant these three questions:
What work will you complete every month?
What work is handled in-house, and what is outsourced?
How will you measure SEO success beyond keyword rankings?
A strong proposal should connect every deliverable to a business outcome.
What is a realistic timeline to see results from Shopify SEO services?
Most Shopify stores see early ranking movement within the first 90 to 180 days, with sustained traffic growth typically appearing after the sixth month.
Meaningful impact, especially for smaller businesses, typically takes longer due to the time required for product and collection pages to build search authority and compete in transactional SERPs.
This timeline is consistent across eCommerce SEO research because Shopify stores face the same structural reality as other large product-based websites: search engines need time to evaluate large catalogs, internal linking structures, and category-level relevance before assigning stable rankings.
The timing is driven less by platform choice and more by eCommerce-specific constraints such as product duplication, category competition, and the need for sustained backlink acquisition to support commercial keywords.
What are the red flags when evaluating Shopify SEO agencies?
The biggest red flags when evaluating Shopify SEO agencies are guaranteed rankings, vague explanations of link-building, generic audits, and a strategy that ignores Shopify's technical limitations.
Common warning signs include:
Promising first-page rankings or fixed timelines regardless of competition
Selling identical SEO packages for every Shopify store
Avoiding questions about backlink acquisition or content quality
Focusing exclusively on traffic instead of revenue, conversions, or average order value
Recommending unnecessary apps that slow your storefront without solving SEO issues
Should I choose a Shopify SEO company that specializes only in eCommerce?
Yes, if your store depends heavily on organic revenue, choosing a Shopify SEO agency with dedicated eCommerce experience is usually the safer and more effective decision.
ECommerce SEO is structurally different from traditional content SEO because success depends on how well an agency handles product architecture and category relevance across large catalogs.
In that regard, specialized SEO services for Shopify tend to perform better in environments where technical and structural complexity directly impacts search performance. This typically shows up in a few predictable areas:
Site structure and collection architecture: How product and collection pages are organized and linked across the store.
Indexing and faceted navigation control: Managing which filtered, sorted, or parameter-based pages should appear in Google’s index.
Duplicate content management: Preventing competition between product variants, collections, and overlapping URLs.
Data and product visibility: Implementing schema so products qualify for rich results like price, availability, and reviews.
Catalog scaling and complexity: Handling large or frequently changing inventories without breaking internal linking or crawl efficiency.
Theme performance and Core Web Vitals: Ensuring Shopify themes remain fast, stable, and optimized for real-world browsing conditions.
General SEO agencies can still be effective, but they often require a ramp-up period to understand Shopify’s constraints, which can delay execution and increase the risk of technical missteps.
When does it NOT make sense to hire a Shopify SEO company?
Hiring a Shopify SEO Consultant rarely makes sense when your store cannot convert existing traffic into sales.
SEO amplifies existing strengths and weaknesses. Driving more visitors to a poor shopping experience won’t improve revenue.
You may want to delay hiring if:
Your product-market fit is still uncertain
Conversion rates are consistently low
Inventory changes weekly, with little stability
You cannot consistently create or approve new content
Paid search hasn't yet validated customer demand
In these situations, improving your product offering, conversion rate optimization, or merchandising often produces a better return before investing heavily in SEO.
