Janet McGlaughlin's Review Sourced from Google
“Trusting someone with your “baby” is a huge leap of faith for any business owner. However, from the start, my instincts told me this no-nonsense agency would work hard to represent Marmion and our team with integrity and purpose, and go on to create something we could all be truly proud of.Our rebrand was made possible by the exceptional team at HUB. Their ability to capture our vision, values, and ambition was deeply moving (actual tears), and the outcome speaks for itself. Not only was this a big investment, it was personal for me, as it represents a lot of hard work and effort. So it mattered that they got it right, and they did.This was a team effort from Hub (Rob, Helen, Josh, Vicki - to name a few) amazing people with enormous emotional intelligence, and they have all been a joy to work with. They now take care of all our socials and brand development (Hana, Mark and Vicki). All in all we couldn’t have asked for a better partner. Thank you … you just got us from day one, in the same way we got you.😊PS They also managed to get us through a photoshoot, which is pretty impressive. However, we managed to capture them too😜

My experience working with Hub has been outstanding. Their depth of knowledge and expertise far exceeds that of other marketing companies I've worked with in the past.They are highly responsive, quick to implement practical requirements, and consistently provide insights that help shape key business decisions and direction. This high standard extends across the entire team—each member is supportive, professional, and clearly competent in their field.Would recommend.

VanDenBerg Web & Creative has truly gone above and beyond for us at Great Lakes Commercial Finance. They have been working hard to create updated products for our website - including a brand new loan calculator and a variety of other designs - all delivered quickly and with an exceptional level of attention to detail. What sets them apart is how they listen and care about what we want for our website. They don't just build what's easy, they build what's right for us. Rebecca and her team have been an absolute delight to work with throughout this entire process - professional, responsive, and a true pleasure every step of the way. We would highly recommend VanDenBerg Web & Creative for any website needs. 5/5 service!

Hrisanthi Setcos's Review Sourced from Google
I recently had the opportunity to work with Kieran from Impressive Digital and genuinely wanted to leave a review because the experience exceeded my expectations.I had reached a point in my eCommerce business where I had finally found a winning product and was beginning to scale my Facebook advertising, however I was receiving completely conflicting advice from multiple people on what the best next move should be. Some were telling me to create new ad sets, others were suggesting changing assets within existing campaigns, while others were recommending completely different campaign structures altogether.After speaking with Kieran, he took the time to properly understand my business, where I was currently at, and helped me think through the most strategic and safest path forward based on my specific situation rather than offering generic advice. What stood out most was that he didn’t simply try to sell a service, he genuinely focused on helping me make smarter business decisions and gave me clarity when I needed it most.Beyond advertising strategy, Kieran also provided incredibly valuable advice around business growth, mentorship opportunities and thinking about how to continue scaling the business to the next level long term.It is rare to come across someone who genuinely takes the time to help, listens properly and provides thoughtful strategic advice with your best interests in mind.I can confidently say Kieran made a real impact in helping me think bigger about the future of my business and I’m incredibly grateful for the support.Highly recommend both Kieran and the team at Impressive Digital.

Although I didn't end up signing up with the agency, I wanted to leave a review because the experience with Ben over the phone was genuinely valuable.As a small business owner, I wasn't quite ready to invest in their services yet (I only launched 5 month go), but they still took the time to review my website and provide thoughtful, actionable feedback. Their insights helped me identify areas for improvement and gave me a much clearer direction for my brand and customer experience.I was impressed by their professionalism, generosity, and willingness to help without any pressure. The advice they shared has already made a positive impact on my business.I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, strategic advice and a team that genuinely cares about helping businesses grow.

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.
