      SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand. Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.

      At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

      We have used HigherVisibility now going on 3 years. Our SEO rankings and eCommerce sales have been fantastic over that time span. More than I could [have] anticipated. This team knows what they are doing in the complex SEO and PPC world and are a huge asset to us. 3 years ago, we had basically 0 online presence. Now, we are consistently ranking #1 on Google for our best-selling products. (Verified via email)

      The Glide team that we worked with was fantastic. We were on a tight schedule, and they made it work. We are very happy with the new site and feel lucky to have worked with Glide. Madeline was especially a joy to work with. She personable, efficient and really cared about getting the project done right.

      Website Redesign Review from Anissa Munoz

      We had a fantastic experience partnering with Glide to redesign our website. From the very beginning, their team showed a genuine interest in understanding the mission and work of the Center for Child Protection. This thoughtful approach allowed them to tailor the site better to meet the needs of our diverse audiences. Their expertise in web design was evident throughout the process, and they worked closely with us to ensure the final product was impactful and user-friendly. Having Paola as our Project Manager was a huge asset—she kept everything on track and ensured we met all of our deadlines on both sides. We were especially impressed by Glide’s passion for supporting nonprofits, which aligns with their values as a certified B Corporation. It made the collaboration even more meaningful.

      We loved working with GLIDE! The project team was fantastic and very easy to work with. We had some thoughts around how we wanted to see our brand reflected on the website, and GLIDE did a great job at taking all those thoughts and bringing them to life with fresh ideas and a beautiful, cohesive design. We also really appreciate GLIDE's commitment to working with nonprofits; our project was done on time and on budget. They've continued to provide us with great support on the live site, and we look forward to working with them on any future needs.

      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😜

      Matthew Lindon's Review Sourced from Google

      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.

He also does our marketing and adwords, and they really do a good job. The other nice thing is that they are very easy to work with and super responsive. I highly recommend Jolly Web.

From start to finish, Hayden and his team provided an unparalleled level of professionalism, creativity, and expertise. They took the time to understand my business goals and built a stunning, fully customized website that exceeded my expectations. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and delivered ahead of schedule—a rarity in this industry! What truly sets Jolly Web apart is their commitment to client success. Hayden went above and beyond, offering valuable insights on SEO and digital strategy, ensuring that my site wasn’t just beautiful but also optimized for growth. His ability to translate complex web concepts into clear, actionable steps made the process incredibly easy. The level of personalized attention and responsiveness I received was second to none. Every question was answered promptly, and every request was met with enthusiasm and expertise. Plus, knowing that a portion of their profits go to mental health charities speaks volumes about their integrity and mission. If you're looking for a web design & SEO agency that actually delivers—on time, on budget, and with an unmatched level of care—look no further than Jolly Web Consulting. I couldn’t be happier with my experience, and I will absolutely be working with them again in the future! Highly recommend! 🔥💯👏 #JollyWebConsulting #WebDesignExcellence #SEOExperts

7 FAQs About Shopify SEO Services

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: 

  1. What work will you complete every month? 
  2. What work is handled in-house, and what is outsourced? 
  3. 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
