What to post in r/ShopifySEO
What fits the room, and what gets removed.
Works well
- A specific question about a Shopify SEO problem you are facing on your own store, with the details that let others give a real answer.
- A short tip post sharing one thing you changed on a Shopify store and what it did for search traffic.
- A blog post guide that solves a common Shopify SEO problem, framed so the post itself teaches something before anyone clicks.
- A before and after walkthrough of fixing a technical SEO issue on a Shopify site.
- A question asking how other store owners handle a specific Shopify SEO decision, like structuring collections or product pages.
Avoid
- Posting about SEO topics that have nothing to do with Shopify, since the moderator one-liner asks that posts stay relevant to Shopify SEO questions, tips, and guides.
- Dropping a link with no context or no effort to help, because the brief is unknown on promotion and links, so an obviously self-serving post is the easiest thing for moderators to remove.
- Writing a vague or off-topic title that makes it hard to tell the post is about Shopify SEO.
- Treating the empty rules page as permission to spam, since the moderator still stated an expectation even without published rules.
- Copying the same promotional post into many subreddits, which reads as spam in any community even where no rule names it.

What r/ShopifySEO Is For
This is a subreddit for Shopify SEO questions, tips, guides, and blog posts. That is the whole public description, and it tells you the room is built around one topic. People here run Shopify stores or work on them, and they come looking for search advice that applies to that platform. The moderator added a one-liner even though no rules are published, asking that posts stay relevant to Shopify SEO questions, tips, and guides. So the community is narrow on purpose. If your post is about search visibility for a Shopify store, it belongs. If it is about something else, it does not.
What To Post
A good post here starts with a real Shopify SEO problem or a real answer to one. Ask a specific question about your store, like how to handle a certain page type or a technical issue you hit. Share a tip you learned from working on a store, with the outcome if you can. If you write blog posts, the description explicitly welcomes them, so a genuinely useful guide with a clear Shopify angle fits. Keep the title clear about what the reader gets. When you link out, make sure the post stands on its own and helps people even before they click.
What To Avoid
There are no published rules to quote here, so I cannot point to a named rule that gets you banned. What the evidence does give is the moderator one-liner, and that is the thing to respect. Posts that drift away from Shopify SEO questions, tips, and guides are the obvious risk. A generic SEO post that never mentions Shopify, or a promo dressed up as a guide, both sit outside what the moderator asked for. Since the policy brief leaves promotion, links, and AI content unknown, the safe move is to keep anything promotional light and let the help do the talking.
A note from Anthony
This is one of the rare communities with no published rules at all, just a moderator asking you to keep posts relevant to Shopify SEO. I actually like that, because it puts the burden on you to be genuinely useful instead of hiding behind a checklist. With no observed top posts to learn from, I would start with a specific question about your own store rather than a polished promo. The room tells you what it wants pretty quickly.
