Growth: SEO, CRO & marketing
Growing a Shopify store: SEO, conversion rate optimisation, paid marketing and the tracking that tells you what works.
Growth on Shopify comes from three directions: more of the right visitors, more of them buying, and knowing which of your efforts caused it. SEO, CRO and paid marketing each cover one of those, and they work best when the same team sees all three.
SEO: being found
Shopify SEO is mostly structure: collections that match what people search for, product pages that answer real questions, clean URLs and structured data, and a store fast enough not to lose visitors on the way in. Our approach is on the SEO page.
CRO: turning visits into orders
Conversion rate optimisation finds where buyers drop off and tests changes that keep them going: product pages, navigation, cart and checkout. It needs enough traffic to read results honestly, and a team that can ship the winning change. More on the CRO page.
Marketing and measurement
Paid campaigns, email and social bring visitors in at a price, and tracking tells you which of them pay for themselves. Without reliable data, every decision above is a guess. For the full offer, see Grow.

Questions
What people ask about this topic.
Yes. Shopify handles the technical basics well: fast hosting, a sitemap, editable titles and descriptions. Rankings then come from structure and content, which is where most of the work is.
When the store has enough traffic for tests to reach a reliable result. Below that, research and fixing obvious friction points do more than A/B testing.
It helps. Both work on the same pages, and a change for one affects the other. One team avoids two roadmaps pulling the store in different directions.
