SEO for Shopify Stores: Tips for UK Retailers

There is an estimated five million online stores created using the Shopify platform, that equates to 29% of the market share. Shopify provides users with the opportunity to launch an ecommerce business quickly and easily.  At the same time, many Shopify store owners are not using search engine optimisation (SEO) to their advantage, which we are going to focus on in this blog.

An effective SEO strategy is essential in driving organic traffic, while ensuring your store stands out in 2025. Search engines, such as Google, are constantly changing the goal-posts with their algorithm updates, not to mention consumer search behaviour. Staying updated with the latest SEO strategies can help ensure your stores success.

Keyword Research

Keyword research is essential in ensuring your store can be found in search results. Keywords are the words or phrases your audience use when searching for products like yours online.  When you use the right targeted keywords, it helps your potential customers find your store.

On-Page SEO

With your keywords at hand, you now need to focus on your on-page elements. This is what search engines and your potential customers see when they arrive on your page. Each page needs its own identify, using meta titles and descriptions that incorporate your primary keyword. 

Provide a clear and concise title with your targeted keyword to tell search engines what your page is about. Your meta description is a short but informative insight into the page. Remember to use your keyword naturally and add a compelling call to action (CTA).

Use your keywords in your headers and remember to break up the content with subheadings. Each of your product pages should have a main H1 heading, and then subheadings H2, H3, etc. 

Product Descriptions

The content you publish on your Shopify store must include your targeted keywords naturally without overstuffing. You can turn category pages into helpful guides to boost your SEO efforts. 

Page Speed

Page speed has become an essential part of improving user experience, while ensuring you meet Google's Core Web Vitals. You can improve your page speed by selecting a light theme and compressing your product images.

When you select the right theme, you can make your shop faster, as they have fewer features to slow them down.
