If you’re struggling to grow your Shopify store’s organic traffic, it’s time to rethink your SEO strategy. Google has changed the game in recent years, penalizing e-commerce stores that rely heavily on product pages for indexing. Why? Because most product pages end up indexed as images, leading to high impressions but low clicks. In contrast, Shopify Collections (category pages) are indexed in the top positions on Google, where the majority of clicks occur. To stay ahead, you need an optimized category tree that matches what users are searching for on Google. This is where Naper AI’s Shopify SEO services come in to transform your store.

Add SEO to Catalog Pages on Shopify: The Smart Way with Naper AI

Optimizing catalog pages for SEO in Shopify is a crucial step to drive more organic traffic to your e-commerce store. While Shopify provides a robust platform, manually adding SEO to each catalog page can be time-consuming and less effective if not done systematically.

Here, we’ll show you how to optimize catalog pages for SEO directly in Shopify, and why leveraging Naper AI makes the process faster, more precise, and better for long-term results. With AI-powered tools, you can create, enrich, and export catalog pages that rank higher and perform better on Google.

Adding SEO to Catalog Pages in Shopify: The Manual Process

In Shopify, optimizing catalog pages for SEO involves:

  1. Creating new collections manually under the “Collections” section.
  2. Adding SEO-friendly titles, descriptions, and keywords to each collection.
  3. Manually updating URLs and ensuring they’re concise and keyword-rich.
  4. Applying tags and filters for better navigation and user experience.

This manual process, while effective, is time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies, especially if you’re dealing with a large catalog.

1. Create SEO-Optimized Collections with the Category Manager

Naper AI’s Category Manager uses AI to generate collections based on Google search trends and targeted keywords. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Category Manager in your Naper AI dashboard.
  2. Click “New Root” and add the main keyword for your collection.
  3. The AI will generate a list of suggested categories automatically.
  4. Review and keep the categories that align with your store’s strategy. The more specific the categories, the better your traffic targeting.
  5. Repeat the process for multiple keywords to build a robust catalog.

Pro Tip: Creating highly specific collections improves both SEO and user navigation.

2. Enrich Your Collections in the Data Center

After creating collections, use the Data Center to enhance their SEO potential. This process ensures that all metadata, descriptions, and fields are complete and optimized.

Steps to enrich collections:

  1. Access the Data Center from the main menu.
  2. Select the Category Table and choose the collections to enrich. To enrich all collections at once, click the upper-left corner of the table.
  3. Use the Massive Enrichment feature to automate the process. The AI will populate each collection with SEO-friendly descriptions, titles, and metadata.
  4. Once enrichment is complete, review the output for consistency and accuracy.

3. Optimize Product Listings for Extra SEO Boost

While your goal is to optimize catalog pages, optimizing individual product pages can complement your SEO efforts and maximize your results. Naper AI allows you to:

  • Import products directly from Shopify.
  • Enrich product descriptions, attributes, and metadata with SEO-friendly content.
  • Ensure every product page aligns with best practices for search engine optimization.

4. Export Your Catalog Back to Shopify

Once your collections and products are enriched, it’s time to export them to Shopify. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Data Center and select the Category Table.
  2. Export the enriched collections to Shopify. Verify that all data appears correctly in Shopify.
  3. Repeat the process for the Product Table, ensuring each product is correctly updated.
