The working library for Shopify SEO operators — peer-reviewed, Liquid-aware, and never recycled Ahrefs advice. Every guide is written against a live Shopify Admin, every benchmark is built on Storefront API pulls from thousands of real merchants, and every finding ships with the methodology you can audit yourself.
Eight working topic areas — each one a real subdirectory of long-form research, not a tag soup. Pick the surface you're shipping against and we'll route you straight to the highest-signal reads first.
Our flagship annual report. We pulled Storefront API data and theme.liquid JSON-LD from every paying merchant, ran the audit twice (January and October), and surfaced the deltas no generic crawler sees.
A reproducible Liquid snippet, a one-click JSON-LD fix, and the four schema Coverage Score edge cases our audit engine learned to detect this quarter.

Start Free 14-Day Trial See the audit suiteAcross 4,800+ active Shopify storefronts audited in 2025, 71% show collection-page cannibalization across at least 10 indexed URLs — a structural defect inherited from how Liquid renders collection templates, and the single largest recoverable organic-click loss we measured this year. The full report ships with the worked fix playbook, a downloadable schema-audit worksheet, and an interactive explorer you can use on your own store.

Generic SEO blogs will tell you to "add more internal links" or "write longer content." Those tips are not wrong. They are also not actionable on a Shopify store, where the rendering layer is Liquid, the schema is hand-rolled inside theme.liquid, and every collection template is a single canonical URL multiplied by 50 facets you didn't know existed. That's the gap MySEOShop Research was founded to close.
Our methodology is deliberately narrow. Every dataset we publish is built on three primitives: a Storefront API pull, an Admin API read of the active theme, and a static analysis of theme.liquid JSON-LD blocks and product variant schemas — never a scrape. Every benchmark is reviewed by at least two engineers on our team of 19 ex-Shopify, ex-Ahrefs, and ex-Searchmetrics practitioners. Every guide links back to the underlying Liquid pattern it describes, so you can grep your own theme to verify the claim.
The result: when we say "collection-page cannibalization now affects 71% of audited stores," we can show you the exact audit query, the URL pattern that triggers it, and the one-click fix that resolves it inside the Shopify admin. No recycled Ahrefs advice. No multi-platform hedging. Just Shopify.
