SEOJack vs Shopify
E-commerce platform for online stores
Shopify is the best product-selling platform on the market. If you sell physical or digital products, use Shopify. If you sell services and need a site that wins local search, SEOJack is built for that.
£89 GBP to get started covers your first month. Then £89 GBP/month. No separate build fee for the base website. Chatbots, automations and other services outside the base website scope cost extra when requested. All additional charges are quoted and agreed with you first.

Where Shopify wins
- Best-in-class e-commerce: inventory management, abandoned cart, discount codes, shipping rates — Shopify does all of it better than anyone.
- Payment processing is built in with Shopify Payments — no separate Stripe setup needed.
- If your goal is to scale product sales, the app ecosystem is unmatched.
Where SEOJack wins
- If you sell services — not products — Shopify is significantly overkill and you will pay for features you never use.
- Local SEO is not Shopify's strength. A plumber, accountant, salon or consultant needs local search visibility, not a shopping cart.
- Shopify costs climb quickly: basic plan + apps + themes + transaction fees often reach £100–£150+/month before you have added a single review app.
- SEOJack is built for service businesses that need phone calls, bookings and quote requests. Shopify is built for basket checkouts.
