Shopify SEO app

The Shopify SEO tool that shows which searches your products miss.

Connect Search Console from Shopify admin. We group the searches that already find you and show one fix when product pages do not answer them.

How it works

A Shopify SEO tool for merchants who already show up on Google and want clearer product coverage — on Google and in AI assistants. Every sync ends in a receipt you can act on.

  1. 1

    Install on Shopify

    Open visitmotive from your admin and connect Google Search Console.

  2. 2

    Sync search demand

    We leave out searches that are only your brand name, plus words like store or shop, then combine the rest across languages and locales into personas — the shopper intent behind the searches — and rank which ones your catalog does not answer.

  3. 3

    Check AI assistants

    For each persona, we ask ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity its searches and count how often they cite your store — and which product pages they point to.

  4. 4

    Fix what ranks first

    One clear action per persona — add a product or improve pages that earn little.

FAQ

Questions merchants ask

Something else on your mind? Contact us.

What does visitmotive do?

visitmotive is a Shopify SEO tool. It connects Google Search Console to your catalog, groups the searches that already find your store by shopper need, and shows where pages do not answer yet. For each gap you get one fix to make first.

Who is visitmotive for?

Shopify merchants who already get traffic from Google and want to see which searches their product pages miss — without hiring an SEO agency or reading keyword reports.

Is visitmotive a Shopify SEO app?

Yes. visitmotive is a Shopify SEO app you install from admin. It does not rewrite your theme or run SEO for you. It reads Search Console, ranks which product pages miss the searches that already find you, and gives one fix to make first.

How is visitmotive different from other Shopify SEO apps?

Most Shopify SEO apps rewrite titles, tags, and image alt text. visitmotive does not touch your pages. It starts from the Google searches that already show your store, groups them into shopper needs, and shows which products do not answer yet.

How do I improve SEO on Shopify?

visitmotive does not edit your store or run SEO for you. It shows which Google searches already find you but your catalog does not answer yet, ranked by demand. You pick one fix: add a product or update a page in Shopify yourself.

What should a Shopify SEO checklist include?

For visitmotive, the steps are: connect free Google Search Console, confirm your store is verified, sync your searches, read which searches map to which shopper needs, then change product pages yourself. Searches that are only your brand name are left out. We connect and rank the data; you make the edits.

How do I connect Google Search Console to Shopify?

Open visitmotive from Shopify admin and connect Google Search Console in a few clicks — no theme code. Search Console is free. It only collects data after your store is verified, so the sooner it is set up, the more there is to read.

How do I find keywords for Shopify products?

They are already in Google Search Console once your store is verified. visitmotive pulls those searches, leaves out ones that are only your brand name, groups different wording for the same shopper need, and links them to products in your catalog. It does not invent a keyword list from scratch.

Is Shopify good for SEO?

A Shopify store can rank on Google. The usual miss is not the platform — it is a product page that gets the search but does not answer what the shopper wanted. visitmotive surfaces those gaps from your store’s own Search Console data.

Do Shopify product tags help SEO?

Product tags are not what visitmotive reads. It uses Google Search Console — the searches that already showed your store. If a search matters, put that shopper need in the title and description you edit in Shopify, not only in tags.

What is a persona?

A persona is the shopper need behind a group of searches — not a product name. “ceramic pan for induction hob” and “induction safe frying pan” are worded differently but come from the same shopper, so we count them together.

What is a non-brand search?

A search we keep and rank. Searches that are only the brand terms you confirm are left out, including ones that add words like store, shop, or official website, because those shoppers already know you. A search with no brand name stays in. A search that also names a product or need stays in too.

What do “Add” and “Fix” mean?

Add means no product in your catalog answers that need yet. Fix means you have products that could answer it, but their pages do not say so clearly enough or earn little from those searches.

Does visitmotive change my store, theme or pages?

No. visitmotive is read-only. It never edits your theme, products or pages. You decide what to change and make the change yourself.

Will it slow down my store?

No. visitmotive adds no scripts to your storefront, so your store loads exactly as fast as before.

Does it work with stores in other languages?

Yes. We combine searches across languages and locales, so the same need searched in English, French or German lands in one persona.

How often is my data updated?

It depends on your plan: monthly on Free, weekly on Shop, and daily on Pro and Enterprise.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan syncs monthly from Search Console, ranks 50 Google search terms and shows 3 personas. Upgrade when you want more search terms or more frequent syncs.

What are AI assistant citations on Pro?

On Pro and Enterprise we run weekly checks (not live customer chats): we ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity whether they cite your store for Google searches that already land on a product in each persona. Most shops only have a handful of those searches, so you typically see a few checks per persona, not every product in your catalog. Pro covers up to 10 such searches per week; Enterprise up to 50.

How much does visitmotive cost?

Plans are $0, $29, $79 and $199 a month, billed on your regular Shopify invoice. You can upgrade or downgrade anytime from Shopify admin. You still edit your own product pages — visitmotive only connects Search Console to your catalog.

What happens to my data if I uninstall?

We delete your shop’s data on our side. Because visitmotive never adds code to your store, nothing of ours is left behind.
