Plug in SEO Shopify App Help: Audit Fixes, Meta Templates and Schema

The Plug in SEO Shopify app, built by Plug in Useful and on the App Store since 2011, scans products, collections, blog posts and the homepage for SEO problems, then helps fix them: bulk title and meta templates, JSON-LD structured data, ALT text, broken link redirects and AI-written titles you approve. As of October 2026, plans run from $29.99 to $79.99 a month, each with a 7-day trial.

The app is pitched at owners who do their own SEO, and many can. Outside help pays off when the scan returns hundreds of issues, when a fix needs theme code, or when a bulk template is about to rewrite every product title at once.

When no profile below fits, the SEO and site performance specialists linked at the end of this page take on Plug in SEO work as well.

Send them your latest scan results, your plan and Search Console access.

Plug in SEO findings that need an expert's hand

The scanner is thorough. Turning its list into the right fixes, in the right order, is where outside help earns its keep.

Triage before fixing. A first scan can flag hundreds of items. Group them into template problems that fix many pages at once and one-off problems on pages that earn money; ignore the rest for now.

Templates that scale well. Bulk title and meta templates change every matching page in one go. Write separate templates for products and collections and check them in the live Google preview first.

One source of structured data. The app adds JSON-LD to every product and collection automatically. If your theme does too, remove one, as the schema markup guide explains.

Redirects with a destination. One-click redirects make broken links easy to clear. Point each to the closest live product or collection, not the homepage.

Theme-level warnings. Heading hierarchy and canonical URL flags usually trace back to theme templates, which is theme customization work rather than an app setting.

AI copy, reviewed. AI titles and descriptions wait for your approval. Check facts, sizing and brand terms before accepting a batch.

Leave it with the owner when the store is small, the theme is standard and the scan list is short. The app was built for that case.

Choosing help for Plug in SEO audit work

Start with what the vendor already includes, then hire for what is left over.

Use the included call first. Standard and Premium come with a free 30-minute call with an SEO expert, and Plug in Useful sells fixed-price Quick Start packages. An independent specialist is for the theme work and judgment calls those don't cover.

Ask them to triage your actual scan. Share the results and ask which ten items they would fix first. Good answers group issues by template and by page value.

Ask how they would write title templates. Expect separate patterns for products and collections, character limits in mind, and a preview check before any bulk apply.

Ask whether they edit Liquid. Heading and canonical issues often need theme changes. Someone who only works inside apps will leave those open.

Be cautious with anyone chasing a perfect app score, accepting AI copy in bulk unread, or sending every 404 to the homepage.

Twenty fixes and a re-scan. A good opening job: the top twenty issues from one comprehensive audit, fixed and confirmed by running the scanner again.

What the check covers. Missing meta descriptions, broken title templates, absent structured data, slow-loading images, heading hierarchy, ALT text, canonical URLs and broken links, across products, collections, blog posts and the homepage.

Search engines connected. Search Console, Google and Bing, with rank tracking and AI search (AEO) tools on top.

Admin languages, not store languages. The admin runs in English, German, French and Spanish. Multi-language SEO isn't listed as a feature, so stores selling in several languages should confirm translated pages are covered before relying on it.

Maker and history. Listed since June 2011, Built for Shopify, made by Plug in Useful in Connecticut.

Plug in SEO Shopify questions: plans, scans and setup

How much is the Plug in SEO app for Shopify?

As of October 2026, Lite is $29.99 a month, Standard $49.99 and Premium $79.99, each with a 7-day free trial. The tiers differ mainly in how many pages are scanned, how many comprehensive audits run each month and how much AI keyword research is included. Specialist fees are separate.

Does Plug in SEO fix problems automatically?

Some of them. Structured data is added to products and collections automatically, and bulk templates rewrite titles and meta descriptions in one pass. AI-written copy waits for your approval. Issues rooted in the theme, such as heading order or canonical tags, still need someone to edit the templates.

Do I need an SEO expert if I use Plug in SEO?

Not always. The app is designed for owners doing their own SEO, and Standard and Premium include a 30-minute call with an SEO expert. Hire when the scan list is long, the fixes touch theme code, or a template change would affect thousands of pages at once.

Can I switch to Plug in SEO for Shopify from another SEO app?

Yes. Export current titles and meta descriptions first, keep your existing redirects, and remove the old app's structured data before Plug in SEO adds its own. Then run a full scan and check it against the old app's last report to catch anything lost in the move.

What does a Plug in SEO specialist need from me to start?

Your most recent scan or comprehensive audit, your plan, Search Console access and your theme name. Add the pages that earn the most revenue and any URL changes from the last year. That lets them separate quick template fixes from the theme work.
