Why we built it

Most Shopify SEO tools stop at reporting. They hand a merchant a score and a list of problems, then leave the actual work — rewriting meta tags, fixing canonicals, adding schema, cleaning up redirects — to be done by hand, one product at a time. On a catalog of a few hundred products that is days of tedious editing, and nothing confirms the change actually landed.

RankEngine was built to close that gap. It runs the audit, applies the fix through the Shopify Admin API, then re-reads the live store to confirm the change is really there before it reports the item as done. No optimistic "fixed" states, no silent failures. A fix is only complete once the store confirms it.

What it covers

The app works across the parts of Shopify SEO that actually move rankings and AI-search visibility:

  • On-page SEO — unique meta titles and descriptions, heading structure, and focus keywords at catalog scale. See the Shopify SEO guide.
  • Technical SEO — indexing, canonical tags, robots rules, sitemaps, and redirects. Read how we handle canonical tags and 301 redirects.
  • Structured data — Product, Article, FAQ, Breadcrumb, and Organization JSON-LD schema that validates.
  • Answer-engine optimization — llms.txt, AI-crawler rules, and the signals that get a store cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI. See AEO for Shopify and AI visibility.

How the work gets done

Every fix follows the same discipline: read the current state from Shopify, apply the change, re-fetch, and compare. Bulk actions run the same verification per item. Merchants can review changes before they publish, undo them, and see exactly what was written and when. The goal is that a store owner never has to take our word for it — the live store is the source of truth.

Who is behind RankEngine

RankEngine is built and maintained by a small team led by founder Moad Ouadrhiri, focused specifically on Shopify. Building for one platform instead of every CMS is deliberate: it lets the app understand Shopify's exact template structure, metafields, theme assets, and Admin API behavior rather than guessing with generic rules.

We publish practical guides on the blog and keep a plain-language glossary of the SEO and AEO terms merchants run into. If you want to reach us, email hello@rankengine.app. You can install the app from the Shopify App Store, review our pricing, or read our privacy policy and terms.
