What SEO A/B Tester is
SEO A/B Tester is a web app for running SEO experiments on Shopify stores, with the stated aim of improving Google search click-through rate. It compares alternative page titles and meta descriptions with their current versions, tracking clicks, impressions, and click-through rate through statistical analysis. Each variant runs for 14 days, so a typical test takes around 28 days. The app can request immediate Google recrawls after variants are published and can test products, collections, and pages. At the end, it reports the winning variant and applies it to the Shopify page. It works with Shopify Admin and Google Search Console, whose access is read-only and limited to the search performance metrics needed for testing. The maker recommends roughly 200–300 daily impressions for a page, ideally 1,000 or more, for effective tests. Homepage testing is unavailable because of Shopify API limitations. There is a free plan with one experiment; paid access starts at $4.99. No free trial is offered.
