Is it better to move from Shopify to WordPress due to SEO or can SEO optimization be done also on Shopify and also build a blog on it?
 
Yes, it is better to move from Shopify to WordPress, At wordpress there is lots of plugin you can use. Also you don't need to pay monthly fee, Lots of SEO benefits.
 
It depends on your goal. Some comfortable with Shopify all in one stack. For wordpress you need separate plugin for each part.

Wordpress free and easy to scale in SEO, also development wise.
 
SEO-wise only then WordPress is likely better as you can modify things more easily.

Most Shopify stores fail core web vital tests and your ability to modify things is limited unless you have highly skilled developers on board.

But people still use it and rank well even with these failed on-page tests.

Blogging is not worth it with Shopify unless you have a store attached to your blog, but in that case, your main focus is your store regardless and not the blog.
 
Yes, SEO is much easier in Wordpress because of the plugins, also you optimize your site speed better than with shopify
 
Wordpress has an edge in terms of SEO and ease of use
There's a plugin for everything

I would prefer to use WooCommerce above Shopify as I do like to have full control over the website and webshop.
Shopify can always close down your business without providing you with any information. Been there, done that.
 
With Shopify I would feel not comfortable.
You are dependent to corporation - this is the biggest problem.
I am working on new platform now, was considering Teachable or Learndash cloud. No, no no... Going to use wordpress and build it myself for 100% independence.

If I would start ecommerce, never corporation like Shopify.
 
If you just want to do SEO then WP is better, apart from this you don't have to pay monthly fees on WP as like Shopify. And plus point is Lots of Free Plugins

When it comes to SEO and Plugins, It is better to move to WordPress
 
Evaluate your needs. While WordPress offers robust SEO capabilities and blogging, Shopify can optimize SEO, and its simplicity suits e-commerce. Choose based on your site goals and preferences.
 
Shopify is for people who are beginners and don't want a lot of customization. They're just looking for a headache free solution, but that comes at a cost. And yes, SEO is easier on wordpress/woocommerce, but that doesn't mean people are not ranking their shopify stores. In any case you'll have to create a blog for your store.

I mean the main focus is still ecommerce - selling own products. But I would like to also build blog to gain some organic search results in the long term.
 
The only advantage Shopify has over wordpress is the fact that you can use it for free. Otherwise, Shopify can't be compared to wordpress in any way.
 
Wordpress is better for SEO.

However with dropshipping you're mostly running ads. By the time you rank with SEO your product could be dead.
