Good to know on Shopify
- Shopify sets your home page title and description under Online Store, then Preferences. Rilea SEO gives you the text to copy in.
- Shopify’s own noindex setting also removes the page from your sitemap and store search. Rilea SEO also offers noindex that keeps links followed.
- Many themes print their own schema. Rilea SEO’s Theme setup tool finds duplicates and shows how to remove them.
