When you connect a Shopify store, Ryze audits it against your Search Console data, DataForSEO rankings, and your catalogue. This is the check list.

Technical

  • Crawlability — robots.txt rules blocking pages that should be indexable
  • Indexation — pages carrying noindex, and pages excluded in Search Console
  • Canonical tags — missing, self-referencing incorrectly, or pointing to the wrong URL
  • Redirect chains and loops
  • Broken internal links and 404s that still receive traffic or links
  • Pagination — broken or blocking access to deep catalogue pages
  • Sitemap accuracy — non-canonical or non-indexable URLs included
  • Duplicate URLs across collection paths and variants

On-page

  • Missing, duplicated, or truncated title tags
  • Missing or duplicated meta descriptions
  • Heading structure — multiple H1s, skipped levels
  • Thin product descriptions, and descriptions copied from the supplier
  • Thin or empty collection pages
  • Image alt text
  • Internal linking — orphan pages, and key pages with too few inbound internal links

Structured data

  • Presence of Product schema on product pages
  • Completeness of the offers block — price, priceCurrency, availability
  • Markup that contradicts the visible page, particularly price and availability
  • Invalid or partial markup that will be ignored
  • BreadcrumbList and Organization presence
  • Review markup validity where reviews exist

Catalogue and feed

  • Missing GTINs
  • Incorrect product categories
  • Product titles that will not perform in shopping surfaces
  • Low-resolution imagery
  • Out-of-stock products returning soft 404s or removed without redirects
  • Variant handling — near-duplicate pages without canonicals

Performance

  • Core Web Vitals — LCP, INP, CLS against field data
  • Unoptimised and oversized images
  • Render-blocking scripts, including accumulated app scripts
  • Excess JavaScript
  • Missing lazy-loading

What happens after the audit

Findings are prioritised by expected impact rather than by count. Approved fixes ship within hours — see permissions and approvals to control what needs sign-off. Ask the assistant directly:
Audit my store and show me the biggest on-page SEO issues.
Which of my collection pages are thin, and what should they say?

Limits

The audit reflects what Ryze can read through the Shopify connection and your connected analytics. It does not evaluate commercial factors — pricing position, product quality, or brand strength — which frequently matter more than any technical finding.
