The Starting Point
- A complete platform migration from Magento to Shopify for a catalog of 10,000+ products
- Ongoing development support for SEO, site speed, and conversion optimization post-migration
- Search functionality that could handle a large, diverse product catalog without returning irrelevant results
- Blog content migration and ongoing content infrastructure
The Challenges
- Bot traffic from AWS/Ashburn causing severely inflated bounce rates -- required Cloudflare custom rules and ongoing fine-tuning
- 7,000+ broken links generating 404 errors, with the existing SEO tool's auto-redirect failing
- Theme architecture too outdated for JavaScript optimization -- a full theme rebuild was the only structural fix
- Shopify's semantic search returning unrelated AI-interpreted results for a product catalog that needed precision
Our Approach
- Full Magento-to-Shopify migration -- 10,000+ products, blog content, and URL redirects
- Site speed audit identifying outdated JS bundling as the root cause and recommending a structural theme fix
- Avada SEO Suite review covering collection meta descriptions, structured data, and 7,000+ redirect mappings
- Cloudflare bot traffic filtering with custom rules for AWS traffic, geographic blocks, and JavaScript detection
- Search optimization using Shopify Search & Discover synonyms and evaluation of Prefix Box as a replacement
- Hulk Product Options migration to a new discount method
- Conditional free shipping messaging and tariff surcharge feature scoping
The engagement ran for three-plus years post-migration, covering everything from SEO and analytics to bot mitigation and app integrations. When the client transitioned to a new developer, we provided a full handoff summary to ensure continuity.
