Shopify SEO and AEO Consultant–Let's get you found. I built my own Shopify store, The Kind Pet, to $50K in its first year organically with zero ad spend. That's the same structure I build for other stores: collections mapped to how people actually search, content that answers the question before they're asked, and a site that both Google and AI search engines can actually read. After 8+ years working in eCommerce (including building Shopify stores and helping brands double their traffic while growing organic revenue to 30–50% through SEO and conversion strategies), I made the move fully into Shopify growth consulting. What I work on: Site and navigation architecture by user intent Commercial keyword research paired with the collection build-out FAQ and AEO structure–mapped and marked up as schema Internal linking maps built for faster indexing Technical SEO and Core Web Vitals Backlinking SEO Content Marketing Conversion Rate Optimization Recent results: Skincare brand achieving $20K in Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales from organic sales Client organic revenue up 255% in one month, and a separate client up 104% in three months, following collection and keyword restructuring Repeat clients who return project after project once the structure is in place Types of clients: Small to medium-sized merchants Beauty, apparel, hardware, pets, etc. 2-6 year client lifetime–we strive for long-term partnerships Canadian merchants: I charge the same in USD and CAD, so you'll never have to pay for conversion.

Senior Shopify Developer with 10+ years of experience building, customizing, and optimizing Shopify and Shopify Plus stores. I specialize in theme development, Liquid, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, performance optimization, app integrations, and creating scalable eCommerce solutions tailored to business goals. I’ve worked across the full development lifecycle, from translating design concepts into responsive, high-performing storefronts to troubleshooting complex technical issues and improving conversion-focused user experiences. I’m also known for fast delivery, clean implementation, and reliable collaboration to deliver business-driven solutions on time.
I'm a Shopify developer with years of hands-on experience building and scaling e-commerce stores — from custom theme development to conversion rate optimization and third-party integrations. I've worked with brands like Après Nail and through platforms like Storetasker, delivering solutions that look great and perform even better. I specialize in Liquid programming, frontend development, and UI/UX enhancement. Whether you need a full theme build, a tricky app integration, or a speed and SEO overhaul, I bring a detail-oriented approach that gets results — not just code. I leverage AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot throughout my workflow — drafting Liquid logic faster, QA-testing edge cases, and generating content-ready section structures. This means faster turnaround, fewer revisions, and more value for your budget. My background spans custom store builds, GA4 + GTM tracking setups, Klaviyo integrations, loyalty app configurations, A/B testing, and cross-functional collaboration with design and marketing teams. I treat every project like it's my own store on the line. I'm a Computer Software Engineering graduate and Growth Collective certified in Creative Website Design (Shopify). Let's build something that converts.

Results-driven execution.
Shopify stores that earn their keep. I run Graftstudio, the technical and commercial lead for mid-market DTC brands on Shopify Plus. Brands bring me in when the store has outgrown the people who set it up. I find what it's costing, fix what the numbers say pays, and measure every change. In 15+ years I have partnered with over 160 brands that generate £80m in sales across their stores. Cult Gaia, Victoria Beckham, Gymshark, Seafolly and Ireland's largest salon group among them. I'm a Shopify Plus Partner, and three in four brands come back. I take on a small number of brands at a time, offering audits, fix sprints and fractional store ownership.
I help Shopify brands and agencies build custom storefront features, fix theme issues, and connect Shopify with the other tools they use. I’m Karim, a developer in Victoria, BC. I’ve worked with Shopify since 2016 and have 17+ years in web development. Goodharbour is my independent software studio. You talk to me, and I do the work. My work covers Liquid themes, product and collection pages, cart features, custom apps, and integrations. When a feature needs more than the theme, I build the APIs, webhooks, and Rails backend behind it. At PIVOT, a Shopify Plus agency partner, I contributed to more than 20 custom storefronts as part of small development teams. I also built and maintain FieldsRaven, a published Shopify app that captures storefront data and saves it to Shopify metafields. I take on defined projects and ongoing development, directly with brands or alongside agency teams. We agree on the scope, I keep you updated, and I test and document the work before handover. If a smaller change or an existing tool fits better, I’ll say so. Tell me what you want to change, what happens today, and the result you need.
Inside the US list: who the agencies and freelancers are
Agencies make up almost the whole list. 383 of the 430 experts based in the US are agencies and 47 are freelancers. If you want one person who answers their own email, seek out the freelancer profiles; most of what you scroll past is firms.
Set-up and development lead. 385 list Store Setup & Management and 326 list Shopify Development, with Marketing & Growth close behind at 294. Strategy, design and content work thin out from there.
Tax specialists are the scarce skill. Only 50 US-based experts list Finance, Taxes & Compliance, fewer than one in eight. If sales tax is part of your launch, ask about it in the first call rather than assuming a generalist covers it.
Languages and cities. English appears on 415 profiles and Spanish on 88, followed by German (31), French (25) and Hindi (8). Profiles name cities including Los Angeles, Austin, Miami, Chicago and Atlanta. Location rarely matters for Shopify work. A shared language with your customers does, once the job includes product copy or support content.
Below the US profiles. US-based experts fill the top of the list. Scroll further and you reach firms and freelancers based abroad that also take North American clients, worth a look if you're open to a team outside the country.
Proof beats size. With 383 agencies to choose from, the useful filter is whether a candidate has already shipped your exact job. Ask each one for two stores they built in your category and a client reference you can actually call.
How much do Shopify experts in the US charge?
Of the 430 US-based experts, 311 show a starting price. Every figure here is in US dollars, read from US profiles in October 2026; anyone listing zero is excluded. Think of a starting price as an expert's floor for taking work on, never a quote for your project.
Middle half of US starting prices
$90 – $1,500
Half of the 311 listed prices sit in this band
Median starting price
$299
The midpoint of all 311 US starting prices
Top quarter of listed prices
$1,500 – $50,000
A quarter of US experts start at $1,500 or more
Budget from the middle half. The top quarter runs all the way to $50,000, so ask any expert in that band what their starting price actually includes before you rule them in or out.
What moves a US quote. Catalogue size, the number of apps and integrations, a migration from another platform, and a move to Shopify Plus. B2B ordering and sales tax set-up add scope on top.
What to send for a firm number. Your store URL or current platform, SKU count, the three outcomes you need, a deadline and a budget range. Say whether you sell B2B, because that changes the payment set-up.
US set-up details a good expert raises early
Payments. Shopify Payments is available to US-based stores and pays out in US dollars. For wholesale, Shopify's docs list ACH Direct Debit through Shopify Payments, for B2B orders only, so anyone building your B2B flow should confirm buyers can pay that way. Shop Pay Installments is also available here; decide whether it suits your order values before switching it on.
Sales tax. Shopify Tax calculates sales tax automatically. Shopify only files and remits on your behalf if you use Shopify Tax automated filing; otherwise filing stays with you or your accountant. Manual Tax is the alternative for merchants who set rates themselves. A good expert asks which route you're on before touching a single tax setting.
Banking and financing. Shopify Balance is available only to US merchants, and Shopify Capital is offered to eligible US businesses. Neither is a set-up task, but an expert reviewing your payout flow should know both exist.
Retail counters. US merchants can buy POS hardware straight from Shopify's hardware store. For phone-based card taking, Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android runs through Shopify POS, provided Shopify Payments is active.
Selling abroad. Managed Markets is available to businesses based in the continental US. If international orders are on the plan, ask whether it fits before anyone builds country settings by hand. English covers both the admin and checkout, so translation only becomes a job once you add markets.
Where US supply runs deep, and where it thins out
Even the smallest category on the US list has 50 experts behind it, and most of the 430 profiles sit under several at once.
Store Setup & Management
On 385 of the 430 US-based profiles

What US merchants ask before hiring a Shopify agency or freelancer
Freelancers are scarce on the US list, at 47 of 430 profiles. Hire one when the job has clear edges: a theme fix, a product import, one app configured properly. Choose an agency when the work crosses design, development and marketing, or when you need cover through peak season. A store still proving its product rarely needs an agency retainer.
When you're already on Shopify Plus, or moving there, and the work touches Plus-only features. On a standard plan, a Plus agency is usually more firm than the job needs, and you pay for process you won't use. Ask any agency claiming Plus experience to name live Plus stores it has worked on and what it did for each.
Not for most Shopify work. What matters is enough overlap in working hours for a weekly call, a contract and invoices in US dollars, and real experience with American sales tax and customer expectations. US profiles sit at the top of the listing, with overseas experts serving North American merchants underneath, so you can weigh both.
If a real share of your customers shop in Spanish, yes. 88 US-based profiles list Spanish, so you can find someone to write product pages and support replies in it without leaving the US list. Ask to see Spanish pages they've written for another store, and have a native speaker check a sample before you sign off the scope.
Yes. A quarter of the US experts who list a starting price set it at $90 or less, so a small, well-defined job is easy to place. Describe the fix in two sentences, attach a screen recording, and ask for a fixed price rather than an hourly estimate. Give the developer their own staff access instead of your owner login, and remove it the day the job is signed off.
The price in USD and what it includes, who owns the code and design files, which app subscriptions sit in your name rather than theirs, the support window after launch, and how change requests get priced. The app point catches people out: if the agency holds the subscriptions, leaving them later gets messy.
