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.

Stay AI jobs that justify outside help

The install is the easy hour. The money is in what subscribers see in month two and month six.

Moving an existing subscriber base. Stay AI lists migration support from its own team. An outside expert earns their fee before and after it: cleaning the export, flagging contracts with odd intervals or legacy prices, and checking every next order date once the move is done.

Offer ladders that protect margin. The app supports fixed, tiered, freemium, trial, usage-based and dynamic pricing. Someone has to decide which discount applies at which order and what a subscriber gives up by switching to one-time purchase.

ExperienceEngine promotions. Promotions can be placed across the subscriber journey. Choosing the trigger, the reward and the holdout group is strategy work, not setup.

Portal copy and layout. The customer portal is no-code, with editable design and copy. A good expert rewrites the cancel path so the alternatives are clear without hiding the exit.

Subscription data in your messaging. Klaviyo, Attentive and Postscript are listed integrations. An email marketing expert maps which events trigger upcoming-order, failed-payment and win-back messages.

Work outside the dashboard. Webhooks and the API cover skips, frequency changes, pauses, line swaps and data exports. API and integration developers use them for warehouse feeds and custom reporting.

Where the vendor's team is enough. One product on subscribe and save, a standard theme and default portal copy: start with Stay AI's customer success team.

How to vet someone before they touch your subscribers

Plenty of people can install a subscription app. Fewer have run one through a renewal cycle with real churn numbers attached.

Ask about a live cutover. Have them walk through a subscriber move they ran: how many active contracts, how they checked charge dates afterwards, and what they told customers before the first renewal.

Ask who does what. Stay AI has its own success and migration staff. A strong candidate says which tasks they hand to that team and which they keep, instead of quoting for everything.

Ask how they'd judge an offer. Listen for cohorts and a control group. "Retention went up" with no baseline is not an answer.

Ask what API access they need. Stay AI keys carry scopes. Someone building a read-only report should ask for read scopes, not the All scope.

Walk away if they promise a churn percentage before seeing your data, want to edit selling plans on live subscribers without a test group, or leave the per-transaction fee out of the margin math.

A first paid task. A written review of your current portal and cancel path, plus one ExperienceEngine promotion scoped with its trigger, reward and success measure. A day or two of work shows how they think about subscribers.

Stay AI fees, permissions and API access

Fees scale with revenue. As of October 2026 the App Store lists one Monthly Plan at $499 a month plus 1% + 19¢ per transaction, billed in USD every 30 days. There is a 30-day free trial and no free plan. Stay AI points to its own pricing page for other options. Model the per-order fee at your average subscription order value before you commit.

Checkout stays Shopify's. The listing marks Stay AI as working with Shopify Checkout, customer accounts and Shopify POS. Any checkout customization already on the store needs testing with subscription products in the cart.

Broad store permissions. On install the app asks to edit subscription contracts, discounts, customers, orders, products, the Online Store and checkout and cart validations. Whoever owns other checkout apps should review that list.

One interface language. The listing names English as its only language. Stores selling in other languages should ask how portal and notification copy gets translated before signing.

API keys live in the Merchant Portal. Under Settings, API Keys, each key gets a name, description, admin email and scopes such as subscriptions, orders, webhooks and selling plan groups. The API documents a rate limit and granular subscription update webhooks.

Stay AI pricing and setup questions

How much does Stay AI cost?

As of October 2026 the App Store lists a Monthly Plan at $499 a month plus 1% + 19¢ per transaction, with a 30-day free trial and no free plan. Stay AI's own pricing page covers other options. Expert fees come on top, so ask for a fixed quote on the migration and an hourly or monthly rate for ongoing offer work.

Is Stay AI Shopify-native, or does it run its own checkout?

Its App Store listing marks it as working with Shopify Checkout, customer accounts and Shopify POS, so subscribers buy through Shopify's checkout. On install it asks for edit access to subscription contracts, discounts and checkout and cart validations, so test any other checkout apps alongside it.

Can I move my subscribers to Stay AI from the app I use now?

Yes. Stay AI lists migration support as part of its service. Before the move, export every active contract with its price, interval and next order date. Afterwards, check a sample of contracts against that export and tell subscribers what changes in their portal before their next renewal email arrives.

Do I need a developer for Stay AI?

Not for the basics. The portal is no-code and the success team handles standard setups. You need a developer for webhooks, custom reports through the API, data feeds to a warehouse or ERP, or a headless storefront calling the subscription endpoints directly.

What should I send a Stay AI expert first?

Your active subscriber count, the products sold on subscription and their discount structure, the app you are moving from if any, and your email and SMS tools. Add last quarter's cancellation reasons if you have them. They shape the portal and offer work more than anything else.
