Private and public Shopify apps that add the functionality your store actually needs — without the render-blocking scripts, duplicate content and schema damage that off-the-shelf apps ship with.
The average Shopify store runs a dozen apps, and most of them inject scripts on every page whether or not the feature is used there. The cost shows up as slower interaction, broken schema, duplicated content from app-generated pages, and merchandising rules nobody can change without a support ticket. Custom apps replace that sprawl with functionality you own, built to a performance and structured-data standard.
Most Shopify performance problems are not theme problems; they are twelve apps each loading a script on every page.

An app that generates pages without an indexation policy is an index-bloat generator with a nice dashboard.

Custom apps are usually cheaper than the monthly stack they replace within eighteen months, before counting the speed gain.

We inventory installed apps, measure the script weight each adds per template, and identify overlapping features you're paying for twice.
Built on Shopify's modern app framework with theme app extensions, admin surfaces where merchandisers need them, and no jQuery bolted onto the storefront.
Bundling, subscriptions logic, B2B pricing, complex product configurators, ERP and 3PL syncs, and merchandising rules that off-the-shelf tools can't express.
Anything the app renders on the storefront is server-rendered where it matters and described in schema, so the same facts reach Google and the answer engines.
We can promise this because our methodology already works. Hundreds of pages now sit in position #1 across our clients' catalogs. The risk shouldn't be on you — it's on us.
Custom apps start at $12,000 for a focused single-purpose build and rise with integration complexity, admin surfaces and data volume. We scope in phases so a first working version ships before the full roadmap is funded.
If the functionality is specific to your business, a custom app installed only on your store is faster to ship and has no review cycle. If you intend to sell it, we build to public-app standards including App Store review requirements and billing APIs.
Properly built, it should make the store faster, because it usually replaces several third-party scripts. We build with theme app extensions that only load on relevant templates, and we hold every release to a Core Web Vitals budget.
You can, because you own the code and the documentation. Most clients keep us on a light maintenance agreement for Shopify API version upgrades, which happen on a predictable quarterly cadence.
Builds start with a $4,500 forensic architecture audit, credited into the project. Custom site and migration projects typically land between $18,000 and $65,000 depending on catalogue size, integrations and content volume; custom Shopify apps start at $12,000. Ongoing SEO/GEO retainers run $6,500–$14,500 per month.
Included. Every build ships with crawlable server-rendered content, a validated schema graph with @id-anchored entities, clean URL and redirect contracts, Core Web Vitals budgets and llms.txt. We treat AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini citability as a launch requirement, not a phase two.
No honest partner guarantees zero movement through a rebuild, but we do guarantee the work: implement our launch and 90-day plan and if the agreed leading indicators don't recover within 3–6 months, we refund our fees. Our fee, not third-party platform or media costs.
Three layers, in order. First, entity clarity: one canonical Organization with @id anchors, sameAs links to authoritative databases, and knowsAbout coverage of your real expertise. Second, extractable content: atomic answer blocks, comparison tables, transparent pricing and specs, and FAQ blocks on every commercial page. Third, corroboration: mentions in the roundups, directories, review platforms, and trade publications those engines retrieve. Measure it by probing a fixed set of buying questions monthly and tracking citation frequency per engine.
Citability. AI engines lift passages that answer one question completely in 40–80 words, in plain language, with a concrete number, definition, or list. Pages that bury the answer under narrative rarely get quoted. We rewrite key pages so every important question has a self-contained answer block, wrapped in schema that labels what it is.
Yes, because AI answers are built from indexed pages. Every major assistant retrieves from a crawled index, so pages that aren't crawlable, renderable, or structured never enter the candidate pool. Classic SEO is now the entry requirement for AI visibility, and the two programs share almost all of the same work.
Technical recovery and on-page work typically show movement in 30–60 days. AI citation lift on long-tail and comparison queries usually lands in 30–90 days. Category-level authority and head-term rankings are a 6–12 month curve. Every engagement ships a sequenced 90-day plan so early wins fund the long work.
You get a forensic audit, a prioritized 90-day execution plan with effort and impact scoring, and optional done-for-you implementation by our engineers and editors. Pricing is scoped per engagement based on catalog size, locale count, and whether you want execution included. Implement our 90-day plan and if you don't see results in 3–6 months, we refund you in full.
Audits scoped within 24 hours. Results within 90 days, or your money back.
