We&#8217;ve seen an increase in the number of businesses using Shopify as their eCommerce platform of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only has the platform attracted small to medium-sized businesses, but major retailers such as Staples and Dressbarn are also using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify is clearly attracting sites with higher technological requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of these larger Shopify stores use Fast Simon technology for faceted navigation, category page personalization, improving internal site search, and other purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this column, we&#8217;ll look at a Fast Simon integration, some of the issues that arose, and some tips for making yours go more smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-case-study-of-adding-fast-simon-to-shopify\">A Case Study of Adding Fast Simon to Shopify<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast Simon is a shopper interaction tool that uses artificial intelligence to help increase conversions and average order value by automating some CRO tasks. It also integrates with WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Magento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had a client implement Fast Simon in December 2020, and while there appeared to be improvements at first, we can see that organic traffic and visibility dropped dramatically by May 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimonimplementation-1024x363.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimonimplementation-1024x363.png 1024w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimonimplementation-300x106.png 300w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimonimplementation-768x272.png 768w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimonimplementation.png 1522w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While the timing of the Fast Simon implementation did not exactly coincide, we still wanted to look into the issue further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we investigated other sites that used Fast Simon, we discovered that many of them appeared to have experienced a drop in organic visibility in the last couple of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the organic traffic timeline for Motherhood Maternity, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimonimplementation2-1024x355.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimonimplementation2-1024x355.png 1024w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimonimplementation2-300x104.png 300w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimonimplementation2-768x266.png 768w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimonimplementation2.png 1516w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And here&#8217;s Steve Madden&#8217;s organic traffic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"368\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimon3-1024x368.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimon3-1024x368.png 1024w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimon3-300x108.png 300w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimon3-768x276.png 768w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/fastsimon3.png 1534w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We observed similar SEO trends for other sites that use Fast Simon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, correlation does not imply causation, and it&#8217;s unclear when these sites implemented Fast Simon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, all of this, combined with our client&#8217;s ranking declines, compelled us to look further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We liked the UX improvements Fast Simon made to the site and wanted to see if there were any changes that could be made to strengthen our client&#8217;s technical SEO foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, we began to make Shopify SEO changes for our client, keeping in mind that there may be better ways to optimize the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, by following the process outlined below, we were able to significantly improve our rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/fileproinfo.com\/blog\/how-to-identify-the-app-used-in-a-shopify-store\/2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Identify The App Used In A Shopify Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Enable the Prerendering feature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our main concerns when we first started working with the website was that a lot of the key content on their website was being loaded via JavaScript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when JavaScript was disabled, the following was loaded on a category page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"353\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/blankscreen-1024x353.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/blankscreen-1024x353.png 1024w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/blankscreen-300x104.png 300w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/blankscreen-768x265.png 768w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/blankscreen-1536x530.png 1536w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/blankscreen.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We were able to confirm that the content was not being rendered server-side by reviewing the raw HTML.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Google can crawl JavaScript, it is necessary for Google&#8217;s second wave of indexing to parse the JavaScript in order to properly index the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Google has improved its ability to crawl JavaScript, there was some doubt about whether Google was able to obtain complete indexes of their pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, when we looked at Google&#8217;s rendering tools, we noticed that the content of a single page was being loaded in very long Script&gt; tags, which gave us pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/largecodefile-1024x334.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/largecodefile-1024x334.png 1024w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/largecodefile-300x98.png 300w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/largecodefile-768x250.png 768w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/largecodefile-1536x501.png 1536w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/largecodefile.png 1558w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, when I contacted Fast Simon&#8217;s support team, they were extremely helpful and were able to implement content prerendering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that the JavaScript-loaded content is also server-side rendered in raw HTML.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cisp_search_result_page_container_prerender\u201d div contains this content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/prerenderhtml2-1024x325.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/prerenderhtml2-1024x325.png 1024w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/prerenderhtml2-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/prerenderhtml2-768x244.png 768w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/prerenderhtml2-1536x488.png 1536w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/prerenderhtml2.png 1556w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that we can be confident that Google will be able to crawl and index a snapshot of the page&#8217;s HTML. It provides us with additional security in the event that Google has problems crawling and indexing some of the content loaded via JavaScript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a store that uses Fast Simon, I strongly advise you to use prerendering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their support team is extremely capable, and they were able to implement this quickly for our client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Prevent Faceted Navigation Crawling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Fast Simon employs faceted navigation, SEOs must take this into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faceted navigation can significantly increase the number of indexable pages. As a result, Google may crawl and index a large number of duplicate pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Fast Simon currently employs canonical tags that point to the root category page, these tags are merely hints, not directives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, you can now modify Shopify&#8217;s robots.txt file to prevent these duplicate pages from being crawled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, this approach may be preferable to canonical tags because Googlebot will obey the robots.txt commands and will not crawl the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we disable Google&#8217;s ability to crawl the content, we should see a decrease in indexation here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when we tested pages created by Steve Madden&#8217;s faceted navigation, we discovered that they can be crawled:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"147\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/crawlallowed-1024x147.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/crawlallowed-1024x147.png 1024w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/crawlallowed-300x43.png 300w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/crawlallowed-768x110.png 768w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/crawlallowed.png 1464w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, Steve Madden would create a robots.txt command that prevents these pages from being crawled. This may free up the crawl budget by preventing Google from crawling low-priority pages and allowing it to spend more time on the most important ones for SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially important if Google is devoting a significant portion of its crawl budget to parsing JavaScript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at Fast Simon sites, it appears that the default parameter used in the faceted navigation is &#8220;?narrow.&#8221; As a result, we were able to prevent the crawl of these pages by including the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\/collections\/<em>narrow<\/em> is not permitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, if you have custom parameters, you may need to modify this robots.txt rule or add additional rules to ensure that those parameters are not crawled by Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Confirm that Google is permitted to crawl pagination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another change you should make is to ensure that Google can crawl the site&#8217;s pagination. With Fast Simon setups, we sometimes see that this is actually blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Targus, for example, uses the &#8220;?sort by&#8221; parameter in their pagination: https:\/\/us.targus.com\/collections\/laptop-backpacks?sort by=creation date&amp;page num=2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, by default, a rule in Shopify&#8217;s robots.txt file prevents this from being crawled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/paginationblocked-1024x265.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/paginationblocked-1024x265.png 1024w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/paginationblocked-300x78.png 300w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/paginationblocked-768x199.png 768w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/paginationblocked.png 1522w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that Google is technically not permitted to crawl the pagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Googlebot will be unable to use pagination to navigate deeper into the website&#8217;s hierarchy. In addition, link equity will not be distributed through pagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, the solution is relatively simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply change the &#8220;?sort by&#8221; parameter in the pagination to something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We suggested to our client that they create a new URL parameter, similar to what Fashion Nova has done: https:\/\/www.fashionnova.com\/collections\/jeans?page=2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other option is to remove the &#8220;Disallow: \/collections\/<em>sort by<\/em>&#8221; command from the robots.txt file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do this, make sure your faceted navigation cannot be crawled, as we&#8217;ve seen setups where the faceted nav also uses &#8220;?sort by.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The End Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have seen significant improvements in ranking positions since implementing these changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The client&#8217;s organic visibility was declining at the time of the campaign&#8217;s launch in July 2021. This peaked in August 2021, when approximately 4.4 percent of our tracked keywords ranked on the first page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since these changes, we&#8217;ve seen a significant improvement in rankings, with 10% of our tracked keywords ranking on the first page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/clientresults-1024x524.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/clientresults-1024x524.png 1024w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/clientresults-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/clientresults-768x393.png 768w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/clientresults-1536x786.png 1536w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/clientresults.png 1564w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The timing of the implementations, as well as the initial traffic losses, indicate that websites that use Fast Simon technology must be aware of the necessary adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By utilizing prerendering and allowing the crawl of the pagination while blocking the crawl of the faceted navigation, you should be able to provide a stronger technical foundation for Google in your Fast Simon setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help with our free SEO tools?
