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.

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 seamless 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.
