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.

Top-rated Privy experts
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).

Privy work, from the first display to automated flows
Plenty of store owners set up their first Privy pop-up alone. Hiring makes sense once the list is growing and the follow-up isn't keeping pace, or when the displays have quietly stopped showing.
Displays and targeting. Privy offers dozens of pop-up and display formats. The work is deciding which visitors see which one, on which pages and with which offer, so the store isn't handing a discount to everyone who lands.
Codes that hold up at checkout. Privy creates and manages Shopify discount codes itself. An expert ties every display to the right code and tests it in a real cart before it goes live.
Email that matches the store. Branding Privy's drag-and-drop templates, then building the welcome, abandoned cart and post-purchase flows that pick up where the display left off.
SMS done properly. Privy sends after-signup and cart saver texts, and says merchants can now run 1:1 SMS conversations from the same platform. Consent and compliance settings come first, before any text goes out.
Theme fixes. Getting the Privy theme block running again after a theme change, or on a custom theme that doesn't load it at all.
Moving in. Lists and flows from another email or SMS tool, rebuilt for Privy rather than copied screen by screen.
Apart from a custom theme missing the line Privy loads through, a Privy project rarely needs code. Targeting rules and flows built on the cart and order data Shopify already sends do far more.
Marketer or Privy developer: choosing the right hire
Start by naming the problem. If displays convert poorly or flows don't sell, you want a marketer. If Privy has vanished from the storefront, or never loaded on a custom theme, you want a Privy developer. Few briefs need both at once.
Check what Privy already gives you. Privy sells its plans with strategy support from its own team. Ask what that support covers on your plan before paying someone to duplicate it, and hire outside help for the gaps.
Match the scope to the plan. Privy has three plans: Pop Ups & Displays, Email, and Email and SMS. A proposal full of SMS journeys is no use on the pop-ups plan. Ask each candidate which plan their scope assumes.
Ask about recent changes. Privy has bought two companies since mid-2025 and is merging them into one platform. A candidate working from an old tutorial will miss what has moved.
Red flags. Rebuilding pop-ups in custom code when a display would do. List-growth numbers promised before they've seen your traffic. No question about where consent comes from.
A good first paid task is small: audit the live displays and the welcome flow, fix one of each, and report what you'd change next. Privy's partner programme is built for technology partners, and we found no agency programme alongside it, so judge candidates on displays and flows you can see running.
Privy Shopify set-up: the theme block and a platform in motion
The theme block arrives with the install. Installing Privy from the Shopify App Store adds the Privy Theme Block automatically. On its own, that covers the theme you had at install.
Theme changes can need a second step. For stores that installed Privy on or after 28 July 2025, Privy's documentation says changing the Shopify theme means re-enabling the Privy Theme Block in the theme editor. Until someone does, the pop-ups don't appear on the new theme. It's the first thing an expert checks when displays vanish after a redesign.
Custom themes need one Liquid line. Privy loads through the content_for_header variable. A heavily customised theme that has dropped it won't receive the Privy code at all. Restoring it is a developer job, and a quick one.
The platform is changing under you. Privy acquired an SMS company in July 2025 and an email and SMS platform in February 2026, and is building them into one ecommerce growth platform. Expect features, menus and names to move during that work. Older write-ups describing Privy as owned by another SMS company are out of date: Privy is now the buyer, not the subsidiary.
Trial before you scope. There's no free plan, but Privy offers a 15-day free trial. Use it to confirm the displays, codes and sync behave on your theme before an expert builds months of flows on top.

Privy questions: agencies, plans and syncing
This group has 2 agencies and 4 freelancers. A freelancer is the natural fit for a contained job: one set of displays, a welcome flow, a theme block fix. A Privy agency suits a store that wants pop-ups, email and SMS run as one ongoing programme with design support. Hire for the size of the work you actually have.
Contacts, products, collections, cart values and orders. New sign-ups from Privy sync to Shopify, and customers marked as accepting marketing in Shopify sync to Privy. Privy also creates and manages Shopify discount codes from inside the app. One gap: deletions aren't copied in either direction, so remove a contact in both systems when you need them gone.
Privy says merchants can run email and SMS campaigns, omnichannel flows and 1:1 conversations from one platform, a capability that came with its July 2025 SMS acquisition. If replying to customers by text is part of your plan, ask candidates whether they've set up conversational SMS in Privy specifically, not only broadcast texts.
More than you might think. Picking a plan, launching a basic display and branding an email template are within reach of most store owners. Bring someone in for targeting logic across many displays, flows built around cart and order data, SMS consent set-up, and theme problems that stop Privy loading at all.
Yes. Privy sells a Pop Ups & Displays plan separately from its Email and Email and SMS plans. Privy's sign-ups sync into Shopify, so an email tool that reads your Shopify customers can pick them up there. Before launch, have the expert confirm that consent status arrives intact and that the code a pop-up promises is the one the first email delivers.
