I am trying to fix my sites SEO issues and the biggest problem i’m having is my multiple meta title and descriptions. I think it is from having multiple SEO Apps that has left residual code after uninstalling. I have little coding knowledge is there a simple way to do it?
Topic summary
A Shopify store owner is experiencing duplicate meta titles and descriptions, likely caused by leftover code from previously uninstalled SEO apps. They’re seeking a simple solution despite limited coding knowledge.
Key responses:
-
One contributor notes that modern Shopify apps following current standards shouldn’t leave residual code after uninstallation, and recommends trying a free SEO optimizer app.
-
Another suggests two approaches:
- Avoid running multiple SEO apps simultaneously, as they conflict and damage backend code
- Manually delete incorrect meta tags from the theme.liquid file and restore original versions by reverting to an older theme version
Proposed solution:
Use SEO apps that employ Shopify’s latest standards (APP Embeds) rather than direct code injection, which prevents residual code issues. Manual theme file cleanup may be necessary to remove existing duplicate tags.
The discussion remains open with no confirmed resolution from the original poster.

Hello @Sedi
Now a days if the app is using latest Shopify standards, they can’t left residual code after uninstalling the app,
Take a look at this free app https://apps.shopify.com/spider-website-seo-optimizer in case, it can help you with your problems.
Hi @Sedi
For multiple meta titles and meta description issues, I can share two suggestions below for reference.
-
Do not use multiple SEO APPs at the same time. Each SEO APP has its own strategy and method to do the optimization and if you use several SEO APPs at the same time, they will conflict with each other and hurt your code contents badly on the backend.
-
Delete the wrong meta title and meta description codes in your theme.liquid file and find out the original ones by switching to the oldest version of theme.liquid from your Shopify backend.
