The challenge

After years of building Shopify themes for clients, I kept hitting the same wall: technical SEO on Shopify is harder than it should be. Merchants either pay for over-engineered SEO suites loaded with features they don’t need, or they install bloated free apps that slow their store down. There’s no clean middle ground.

So I built one.

What I built

  • Schematic, a Shopify app that gives merchants direct control over JSON-LD schemas, meta titles, and meta descriptions, with a live Google SERP preview
  • Built as a Theme App Extension — schemas inject server-side via the Shopify theme, with zero client-side JavaScript impact
  • Auto-generated schemas for products, collections, articles, and organization data, with built-in validation
  • Bulk CSV import for editing schemas and meta tags across hundreds of pages at once, with deduplication logic
  • Full audit log of every change, exportable for SEO audits
  • Shopify GDPR-compliant with all required webhooks
  • Built the marketing site (verlezzalabs.com) and the in-app UI from scratch
