Start a Business

Topic summary

A new Shopify user seeks recommendations for free SEO tools to get started. Community members emphasize foundational SEO practices as most critical:

Core recommendations:

  • Proper DOM structure, alt attributes for images, and meta information (titles/descriptions)

Hi, in general, having a proper DOM structure, alt attributes for images, and meta information (meta titles and meta descriptions) are the most important aspects. There’s a lot to consider when it comes to SEO, but I believe SEO is crucial when it comes to the fundamental basics—advanced SEO, in my opinion, is overrated. I worked in the industry for several years. Nowadays, paid advertising on Google is what really matters. Anyway, you can start here:

Hey, welcome to the community! :waving_hand:

Are you looking to improve product pages, blog content, or overall store visibility? That could help narrow down suggestions. For SEO tools on Shopify, I’d recommend starting with Shopify’s built-in SEO features—like editing page titles, meta descriptions, and alt text for images.

If you’re looking for apps, you can try:

  • SEOAnt (free plan) - helps with on-page optimization
  • Tiny SEO (free to install) - image optimization + SEO suggestions

And Ramadhan Mubarak to you as well!

Hello @BoZorX In terms of practices, the best free thing you can do for your store’s SEO in my opinion is to set up a blog page and provide proper content on it with keywords that could help you rank higher.
For the best free SEO apps, I recommend checking out this article from the official Shopify site https://www.shopify.com/blog/free-seo-tools
