When it comes to improving your site’s SEO, there are a variety of factors that you need to consider. Search engine optimization is all about getting search engines, such as Google, to see the relevance and importance of your page in comparison to others. In order to do this, search engines look for factors such as optimized content, domain authority, page speed, mobile friendliness and much more. 

However, ensuring that your website is hitting all the marks on each of these factors can be a lot to keep up with. So does Shopify offer SEO plug-ins?

Well, yes, yes they do.
