Shopify SEO Consultant

Shopify SEO services for Online Retailers

Hi, my name is Scott Boyd, a freelance SEO consultant and I’m based in Edinburgh. I’ve specialised in digital marketing since 2002. I help ecommerce businesses of all sizes with their search engine optimisation efforts.

Freelance Shopify SEO Services

I’ve been helping small businesses grow online since 2002 – and in recent years, my focus has been on Shopify SEO: making sure your store ranks, loads fast, and turns visitors into customers.

As a highly experienced freelancer, I bring not only deep technical SEO knowledge but also a strong understanding of how Shopify’s platform really works – from optimising collections and product pages to fixing duplicate content and improving site speed. I know what it takes to make a Shopify store perform in Google.

I also understand the challenges small businesses face when trying to find the right digital partner. Too many store owners have been let down by generic “SEO packages” or agencies that don’t understand the Shopify ecosystem. I’ve spent a good part of my career fixing the mistakes of others – cleaning up poor technical setups, unoptimised themes, and keyword strategies that never convert.

When you work with me, you get an experienced digital marketer who knows Shopify inside out – someone focused on delivering measurable value through clear, sustainable organic growth.

Technical SEO

While Shopify is a very robust system, technical problems can occur, particularly if you have a larger ecommerce website that is constantly being updated or if many 3rd party apps are being used. Regular technical audits are useful to ensure everything is performing as it should be.
