Get more organic search traffic for your Shopify store
JSON-LD for SEO is a premium app that has been designed and optimized to get you results in Google, fast.
It can be confusing to understand how to change and tweak your store’s search results. Did you know that it was even possible?
In this article I’m going to describe each part of a search result and show where you can find these fields in Shopify’s product page admin.
Above you’ll see a search result from Mountain Hardwear that includes a Rich Result.

tag on the webpage. Again Google’s algorithm will sometimes rewrite it based on the content they find on the page.Nearly all search results include the title, URL, and description. Even if you don’t configure those fields yourself, Google will automatically pick something in the search results. Google wants to use your description so make sure you’re using quality descriptions that Google can use.
We can’t always control what Google uses for these search results. We can provide suggestions.
That’s why it’s important to fill out the meta title and meta description on all pages. For product pages in Shopify, this is found at the bottom of your Product page in the Shopify admin. Don’t forget to do this for collections, blog posts, main blog pages, and pages. If you don’t enter it yourself, Google will decide what to use and it may not be the ideal description.
When you click on the Edit website SEO link, you’re now presented with the options to enter the meta title, meta description, and edit the URL. If the page has already existed, be careful when you change the URL, and remember to set up a redirect if you do change the link.
The Rich Results aren’t as common, they represent a search enhancement that you have to earn. Adding high-quality structured data that describes the page is the only way to receive them.
Most Shopify themes are missing the structured data to qualify for these search enhancements.
That’s why I recommend JSON-LD for SEO to every Shopify store. It provides high-quality structured data that will let your store qualify for product Rich Results and more. Often times faster than the industry averages.
Get more organic search traffic from Google without having to fight for better rankings by utilizing search enhancements called Rich Results.
Link discontinued products to their best substitute. Keep discontinued products published on your website and continue to benefit from traffic to these pages.
