Why Most Shopify Stores Struggle to Rank
Shopify is excellent for selling online, but its default SEO setup leaves serious gaps that prevent your products from appearing when customers search for what you sell:
The Hidden Shopify SEO Problem: Product Variants
If you sell products with variants (size, color, material), Shopify creates multiple URLs for the same product. Without canonical tags pointing to your primary URL, Google sees this as duplicate content — one of the most damaging SEO penalties you can have. It splits your ranking signals across variants instead of concentrating them on one authoritative page.
Secret AI SEO automatically adds canonical tags to all Shopify product variant pages, directing Google's ranking power to your primary product URL.

How do I add a script to Shopify's theme.liquid?

Does it add Product schema to Shopify product pages?

Will this conflict with Shopify SEO apps I already have?
Secret AI SEO is designed to never overwrite existing well-crafted SEO tags. If your store already has a proper meta description or title, the AI will leave it alone and only add missing elements.
Does it work with Shopify collections and blog posts?
Yes. Collection pages get Category schema, blog posts get Article schema, and the homepage gets WebSite and Organization schema. Every Shopify page type is handled automatically.
How long until my Shopify store ranks higher?
Technical SEO fixes like structured data and meta tags take effect as soon as Google re-crawls your pages, typically within 2–4 weeks. Click-through rate improvements from better meta descriptions can show in Google Search Console within days.
