For Shopify Stores

SEO for Shopify Stores

Research keywords, audit your storefront, and publish AI-drafted articles straight to your Shopify blog — without a separate content tool.

A Shopify store lives or dies on organic discovery as much as paid traffic, and content marketing through your store's own blog is one of the few growth channels that doesn't get more expensive every time a competitor bids higher. Illumae connects directly to Shopify's Admin API — so keyword research, technical audits, and AI-drafted articles all lead to posts that actually land on your store's blog. From £40/month per domain, or free to start.

Publish Drafts Straight to Your Shopify Blog

AI content generation drafts full articles from a target keyword, and — once you connect your Shopify Admin API token in Integrations — Illumae publishes that draft directly to your store's blog via Shopify's GraphQL Admin API, including the featured image where it attaches successfully. Every draft runs through a fact-consistency audit before publishing, checking for internal contradictions and unhedged claims about specific figures like pricing or stock.

Find the Keywords Shoppers Actually Search

keyword research and rank tracking gives you real search volume and difficulty data for product, category, and problem-first keywords, then tracks your organic Google ranking for the ones you target — so blog content is built around real demand, not guesswork.

Audit the Technical Side That Costs You Sales

A slow-loading product page or a broken link in your checkout flow can cost a sale before it happens. site audit crawls your entire storefront and returns a health score with a prioritised, page-by-page fix list — flagging broken links, missing meta tags, slow-loading pages, and images without alt text.

Check Who's Linking to Your Store

backlink checker shows domain authority and spam-risk banding for every backlink pointing to your store. If you find links worth disavowing, Illumae generates a properly formatted Google disavow file — you submit it yourself through Search Console, since no API lets a third-party tool do that automatically.

How the Shopify Connection Actually Works

Illumae publishes to Shopify using its GraphQL Admin API (current as of Shopify's 2025 API version) and an access token you generate through a Shopify custom app and enter in Integrations. A published Illumae article becomes a real article on your store's chosen blog, not a file you import by hand.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Shopify app installed to use Illumae?+

You need to create a custom app in your Shopify admin to generate an Admin API access token, which you enter in Illumae's Integrations screen. There's nothing to install from the Shopify App Store — the connection works through Shopify's own Admin API.

What if I don't already have a blog set up on my Shopify store?+

Illumae will create one automatically if none is configured, or you can point it at an existing blog by setting its ID in Integrations. Either way, published articles land as real Shopify blog articles, not a separate feed.

What happens if the featured image fails to upload?+

Illumae still publishes the article itself rather than blocking the whole post over an image problem — it publishes without the image and tells you specifically that the featured image didn't attach, so you can fix it separately.

Does the AI content tool know accurate facts about my products?+

Not on its own. Illumae's AI content generation runs every draft through a fact-consistency audit that checks for internal contradictions and unhedged claims about specific figures, but it does not independently verify product-specific accuracy like pricing or stock — a quick review before publishing is worthwhile.
