Question 1

What is a Shopify SEO audit?

Accepted Answer

A Shopify SEO audit reviews your store for the technical and on-page issues that stop it ranking on Google — duplicate product URLs, missing structured data, weak titles and meta descriptions, and slow pages. StoreGrade samples a representative set of your pages, grades them, and tells you exactly what to fix.

Question 2

Why do Shopify stores have SEO problems by default?

Accepted Answer

Shopify is great for selling but ships with SEO quirks: products are reachable at multiple collection URLs (duplicate content), themes often output multiple H1s, collection pages launch with thin content, and images are frequently uploaded without alt text. None of these are obvious unless you audit for them.

Question 3

Is the audit really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The sampled audit — homepage plus a selection of products and collections — is free and needs no login. Paid plans add full-store crawls, PDF reports and ongoing monitoring.

Question 4

Do I need to install an app or give access to my store?

Accepted Answer

No. The free audit only needs your public store URL — it reads the same pages Google sees. No app install and no admin access required.

Question 5

How long does the audit take?

Accepted Answer

Usually under 30 seconds. We fetch a sample of pages in parallel and run a real Lighthouse speed test on one representative page.
