Agency vs app

An honest split. Some of this work needs a person. Most of the monthly work does not.

Product links
Agency:Added by hand, if someone remembers.
GrandRanker:Reads your catalog and links each article to the right products and collections.
Theme, speed and product pages
Agency:Yes. This is where a good Shopify SEO agency earns its fee.

AI search visibility
Agency:A newer add-on, often priced separately.
GrandRanker:Checks weekly whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and more mention your store.
Reporting

When to hire a Shopify SEO expert

GrandRanker handles the content and tracking. These jobs need someone who can work inside your theme and catalog.

Your store is slow

Heavy themes and too many apps hurt speed. A developer who knows Shopify can trim them. Software that writes blog posts cannot.

Your product pages are thin

Short, copied manufacturer descriptions rarely rank. Rewriting hundreds of product pages is a one-off project for a copywriter or agency.

You are moving to Shopify

A migration needs redirects mapped for every old URL. Get an expert for this one. Mistakes here cost rankings for months.

You need links from other sites

Getting featured by bloggers and press is outreach work that people do better than software.

Not sure which problems you have? Run a free SEO audit on your store first. Then pay an expert for the one-off fixes and let SEO automation handle the monthly work.
