# Get a free Shopify SEO audit of your store

Updated: 2026-09-29

Send us your store URL. A Shopify SEO specialist, not a bot, reviews it and sends back the problems holding it back and the first fixes we would make.

## What the free audit covers

### Indexation and duplicate URLs

Collection-filtered product URLs, tag pages, pagination and variant URLs that waste crawl budget or split rankings.

### Collection gaps

Buyer keywords your catalog could rank for that have no collection page yet. This is usually the biggest opportunity we find.

### Keyword and competitor snapshot

Where you rank today, who owns page one for your main terms, and how your authority (Ahrefs DR) compares.

### Structured data

Product, Offer, Review, Organization and Breadcrumb schema, and whether Merchant Center is likely to trust your feed.

### Speed and theme issues

App scripts, oversized images and theme code that slow down collection and product templates.

### International setup

For stores using Shopify Markets: hreflang, market subfolders or domains, and currency and language conflicts.

### AI search visibility

A spot check of how ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews describe your brand and category, and whether they cite you.

### The first fixes

A short, ranked list of what we would do first and why, so you can act on it with or without us.

## What free gets you, and what it does not

The free mini audit is an outside-in review. We look at what Google, Ahrefs and a crawler can see without logging into your store. That's enough to find the biggest problems and opportunities on most Shopify sites.

A full audit goes much deeper. With access to Search Console and your Shopify admin we review every template, query and indexed URL, and build a complete fix list with priorities. That's our paid [Shopify SEO audit](/shopify-seo-services/seo-audit/) service. Clients also get a technical baseline review in their first month, as described in [how we work](/how-we-work/).

You'll receive your mini audit by email within 3 working days. There's no obligation to buy anything.

## Tell us about your store

Your store URL and main market are enough. The more you tell us about your best sellers and goals, the more useful the audit will be.

## Stores that get the most from it

### High-ticket Shopify brands

Products at $1,000 or more, where one extra sale from search can pay for a month of work.

### Chinese brands selling to the West

Amazon-first brands launching or growing a Shopify store for the US, UK or EU.

### Stores after a migration

If traffic dropped after moving to Shopify, the audit will show the redirect and indexation gaps.

## About the free audit

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the Shopify SEO audit really free?

Yes. The mini audit costs nothing and there is no obligation. We do it because it is the fastest way for both sides to see whether we can help. If your store is not a good fit for SEO right now, for example a very small catalog at low prices, we will tell you that in the audit rather than try to sell you a plan.

### Do you need access to my Shopify admin?

No. The free mini audit is an outside-in review using a crawler, Ahrefs, Google search results and AI assistants. We do not need logins. If you become a client, we then ask for a Shopify staff account and Google Search Console access for the full audit in your first month.

### How long does it take to get the audit?

We send it by email within 3 working days of your request. Stores with several Shopify Markets or very large catalogs can take a little longer because we check each market separately. If we need anything from you, such as your main target country, we will ask by email.

### What is the difference between this and a Shopify SEO app?

Apps scan for rule-based issues like missing alt text or long titles. They cannot tell you which collection pages you are missing, why a competitor outranks you, or which fixes will move revenue. A person reviews your store against what is actually ranking on page one for your products, and ranks the fixes by likely impact.

### Will you check how AI assistants see my brand?

Yes, as a spot check. We ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews a few of the questions your buyers ask and note whether your brand is mentioned or cited, and what they say about you. A full review is part of our separate AI visibility audit, one of our GEO services.
