Exciting news! Yoast SEO for Shopify’s latest update brings a brand new dashboard feature. Say hello to the Optimization overview – a pre-made priority list for your store’s SEO. Get a quick bird’s-eye view of your store’s performance and know exactly where to optimize first! We’ve also fine-tuned the sidebar menu for smoother navigation and an overall improved user experience. In addition, we have also updated the best practice guidance for category and tag pages.
Introducing the new Optimization overview
The new Optimization overview serves as the primary access point to the Yoast SEO for Shopify app. Leveraging our signature traffic light colors, merchants can now more easily identify areas for SEO and readability enhancements across collections, products, blogs, and pages. This visually-friendly dashboard equips merchants with actionable insights, facilitating strategic decision-making for website optimization efforts. With everything readily available in one place, this will make getting started much easier.
Updates to the sidebar for clearer navigation
You are likely to quickly spot the improvements we have been busily preparing for our customers behind the scenes. The sidebar is now much easier to navigate, with more natural grouping for easier navigation with collections and products grouped together under the Products section.
Best practice update for collection pages
Collection pages are pivotal in driving traffic to your website, grouping your products into easily navigable sections. While these pages do impact your site’s ranking, lengthy content isn’t the way to go, especially for ecommerce collection pages. That’s why we’ve updated the in-app guidance for collections, offering more focused direction and requiring a lower word count than before. It’s a great time to revisit your collection pages, ensuring they’re optimized for maximum impact.
