SearchPie combines store SEO editing, speed features and Google integrations in a Shopify app. The free Starter plan offers a way to use core tools, while paid plans start at $39 per month.

SearchPie is for Shopify businesses seeking tools for SEO tasks, keyword research and page-speed optimization. It may fit merchants who want to connect their store with Google’s search and analytics services.

Overview

SearchPie is a Shopify app that brings store SEO editing, technical tools and speed optimization together. It suits Shopify merchants managing product catalogs who want core SEO tools without an upfront subscription. Its free Starter plan is useful for basic maintenance, but keyword research and deeper growth tools require higher-priced plans.

Key features

Merchants can edit images, meta tags and URLs in bulk or individually. Bulk changes can save time across a large catalog; individual edits remain useful for exceptions. SearchPie also creates snippets and sitemaps to support crawling and ranking, and offers keyword insights for content planning. Keyword research appears only in Enterprise and Plus, limiting the lower-priced monthly tier for stores that need search-demand guidance.

Speed tools include image compression, CSS and JavaScript minification, lazy loading and instant page loading. Starter includes image compression and instant page, while Premium adds image compression and broken-link autopilot. The toolset is broad, though the plan descriptions do not establish that every speed feature is included at every tier.

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

The app supports Shopify Online Store 2.0 themes through Shopify's app extension framework. After uninstalling, ALT tags and compressed images remain in the database, while other app code, including meta tags, schema and instant-page code, is cleared. That split cleanup is worth considering before removing the app. Support is available through 24/7 in-app live chat and email.

Pricing

Starter is free forever, billed $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 practical starting point for small stores or merchants who need essential optimization, but it does not include the Enterprise keyword research, position tracking or backlink building.

Two one-time options target specific jobs rather than ongoing monthly use. VIP AI Generator costs $35 /10,000 requests and provides bulk AI-generated content, four writing tones and more than 30 supported languages. VIP SEO Scan costs $39 /per scan request and scans all website pages for broken and long URLs, meta, ALT, HTML tags and snippets, plus site speed and favicon checks. These suit merchants seeking a defined content batch or a site-wide scan, rather than recurring access to the broader toolkit.

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 stores wanting automation and a Google integration, but it does not include the listed keyword research or position tracking.

Enterprise costs $99 /mo and raises the AI Generator allowance to 5,000 requests while adding keyword research, position tracking, backlink building, AMP and customized expert service. It is better suited to merchants actively managing organic growth beyond basic metadata. Plus costs $399 /mo and includes everything in Enterprise, 1:1 SEO consultation, 10,000 AI generate requests, VIP SEO Scan and personalized optimization. That price is most defensible for stores that will use the additional consultation and tailored service, not merchants seeking only routine SEO edits. A 7-day trial is offered; the listed monthly plan prices are recurring monthly charges.

Platforms

SearchPie is a web app focused on Shopify, with compatibility for Online Store 2.0 themes. Its platform focus makes it unsuitable for merchants seeking a general SEO product for other store systems.

Who it's for

SearchPie is a sensible fit for Shopify businesses that want store-level SEO, speed features and Google integrations in one app, especially those that can begin with the free Starter tier. Stores that need keyword research, position tracking or expert help should budget for Enterprise or Plus. Merchants who want only a one-off scan or AI content batch may find the separate once-priced options more appropriate than a monthly plan.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Starter includes a meaningful set of ongoing SEO and speed tools at no cost, including a full SEO report, bulk optimization and sitemap submission.
• Pros: Bulk and individual editing cover different catalog workflows, while Google integrations connect SearchPie with major merchant and analytics services.
• Pros: The privacy policy specifies encryption standards and deletion of related Google data after unlinking or uninstalling.
• Cons: Keyword research and position tracking require Enterprise or Plus, so growing stores may need to move well beyond the $39 /mo entry tier.
• Cons: Uninstalling does not remove ALT tags or compressed images from the database, even though other app code is cleared.
• Cons: Plus at $399 /mo is a substantial commitment for merchants who do not need consultation, personalized optimization or its higher request allowance.

Verdict

Choose SearchPie if you run a Shopify store and want a free starting point for bulk SEO work, sitemaps and speed tools, with a path to Google integrations and more advanced plans. Its main trade-off is that keyword research and position tracking begin at $99 /mo, while uninstalling leaves some image-related data behind. Stores needing those growth features on a tighter budget, or SEO outside Shopify, should compare alternatives before committing.
