SearchPie

Overview

SearchPie is a Shopify SEO app for merchants who want store optimization and speed work in one toolkit. It suits businesses handling product SEO at scale, though its strongest paid features sit behind monthly tiers.

Alongside editable store metadata, it brings keyword insights, speed tools and Google integrations together. A permanent free tier makes it practical to start with basic SEO tasks before deciding whether the recurring plans are justified.

Key features

SearchPie can bulk-edit or individually adjust images, meta tags and URLs, which is useful when a catalog makes one-by-one cleanup impractical. It also creates snippets and sitemaps intended to support crawling and ranking. The free Starter plan includes bulk meta and ALT optimization, a sitemap, a full SEO report, speed analysis, instant page loading, and 24/7 live chat.

Keyword research is reserved for Enterprise and above, so merchants who need keyword guidance must move beyond Premium. Speed features include image compression, CSS and JavaScript minification, lazy loading and instant page loading; Premium includes image compression and broken-link autopilot, while Starter includes image compression and broken-link detection.

Google Search Console, Merchant Center and Analytics 4 integrations use Google data for dashboard displays and optimization recommendations. SearchPie says it does not use third-party AI models to analyze that data. Its privacy policy states data is encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest with AES-256, and related Google data is permanently deleted when an account is unlinked or the app is uninstalled.

SearchPie supports Shopify Online Store 2.0 themes through Shopify’s app extension framework. Uninstall cleanup is mixed: ALT tags and compressed images remain in the database, while other app code, including meta tags, schema and instant-page code, is cleared. That distinction matters for merchants expecting all optimization changes to disappear with the app.

Pricing

Starter is free forever at $0 /yr. It includes a full SEO report, speed analysis, bulk meta and ALT tags, sitemap submission, instant page and 24/7 live chat. It is a sensible starting point for basic store-wide optimization, but does not include the higher-tier keyword research or position tracking.

Two one-time options address specific tasks rather than ongoing SEO management. VIP AI Generator costs $35 /10,000 requests and provides bulk AI-generated content in four writing tones and more than 30 languages. VIP SEO Scan costs $39 /per scan request and scans all website pages for broken and long URLs, metadata, ALT and HTML tags, snippets, site speed and favicon checks.

Premium costs $39 /mo and includes 250 AI Generator requests, auto ALT tags, broken-links autopilot, image compression and Google Search Console. It is the entry paid monthly plan for merchants who want recurring automation and the Search Console connection. Enterprise costs $99 /mo, raising the allowance to 5,000 AI Generator requests and adding keyword research, position tracking, backlink building, AMP and customized expert service.

Plus costs $399 /mo and includes everything in Enterprise, 10,000 AI generate requests, a VIP SEO Scan, one-to-one SEO consultation and personalized optimization. It is aimed at stores needing substantial content volume and direct SEO support; for smaller merchants, the price jump from Enterprise is hard to justify without those needs. The 7-day trial offers a short evaluation window for paid functionality.

Platforms

SearchPie is a web app focused on Shopify. Its theme compatibility is designed for Shopify Online Store 2.0, rather than broader site platforms.

Who it's for

SearchPie is best suited to Shopify merchants who want to combine catalog-level SEO editing, speed improvements and Google integrations. Smaller stores can use Starter for core tasks; stores needing keyword research, rank monitoring or expert attention should consider Enterprise or Plus. It is a weaker fit for businesses seeking a general-purpose SEO platform outside Shopify.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Starter is free forever and includes bulk meta and ALT optimization, a sitemap and image compression, giving merchants useful baseline tools without a subscription.
• Pros: The feature range spans store metadata, speed work, keyword research on higher plans and three Google integrations, reducing the need to split those tasks across tools.
• Pros: The stated encryption and Google-data deletion policy provide clear protections for connected account data.
• Cons: Keyword research and position tracking require Enterprise at $99 /mo, beyond the $39 /mo Premium entry point.
• Cons: Some changes persist after uninstall: ALT tags and compressed images remain in the database, even as other app code is cleared.
• Cons: Plus costs $399 /mo, a substantial commitment for the added consultation and personalized optimization.

Alternatives

Choose StoreSEO if its free tier’s 25 products, 25 images, 200 AI credits and five keywords better match a smaller catalog; its Lite tier is $14.99 per month for 100 products and 500 images.

Avada SEO Suite may suit merchants prioritizing a free allowance of 100 image compressions, basic speed-up tools, a 20-page on-page audit, unlimited ALT optimization and 100 AI credits; its Pro tier costs $29.00 per month.

Consider SEOPress if you need a WordPress-oriented option: its free plan supports unlimited sites, while its PRO one-site plan costs $49.00 per year and renews at the same price, excluding VAT.

AIOSEO offers free and paid tiers described by supported site counts, including Basic for one site and Plus for up to three.

Tapita SEO & Speed Optimizer is worth comparing if image compression limits are central: its free tier allows 900 compressions per month and bulk ALT and filename optimization for 50 products, while Basic costs $9.99 per month.

RankCart is another freemium option.

Verdict

Choose SearchPie if you run a Shopify store and want bulk SEO edits, speed tools and Google connections in one app, with a free tier for starting out. Look elsewhere if your store is outside Shopify, or if the features you need are concentrated in the higher-priced Enterprise or Plus plans.
