To add meta tags to your Shopify theme site, you need to follow the steps below:
- Log in to your Shopify admin panel and click on "Online Store" and then "Themes."
- Select the theme that you want to add meta tags to, and then click on the "Actions" button and select "Edit Code."
- From the list of files on the left-hand side, select "theme.liquid" to access the template file.
- Locate the <head> section of the code, which should look like this:
1 2 3 4 |
<head>
<title>{{ page_title }}</title>
{{ content_for_header }}
</head>
|
- Add the meta tags that you want to include between the <head> tags, like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
<head>
<title>{{ page_title }}</title>
{{ content_for_header }}
<meta name="description" content="Your description goes here">
<meta name="keywords" content="Your keywords go here">
</head>
|
- Save your changes.
It's important to note that meta tags should be unique for each page on your site, so you'll need to add them to each page template that you're using in your Shopify theme. You can also use Shopify's built-in SEO tools to help you optimize your meta tags and other elements of your site for search engines.

Additionally, you can also add meta tags to specific pages and products in Shopify by following these steps:
- Log in to your Shopify admin panel and click on "Online Store" and then "Pages" or "Products" (depending on where you want to add the meta tags).
- Select the page or product you want to add meta tags to.
- Scroll down to the "Search engine listing preview" section.
- Click on the "Edit website SEO" link.
- In the "Page title", "Meta description", and "URL and handle" fields, enter the desired meta tags.
- Click on the "Save" button to save your changes.
- Repeat these steps for each page or product you want to add meta tags to.
By adding custom meta tags to your Shopify theme and individual pages or products, you can improve your site's visibility in search engine results and help drive more organic traffic to your online store.

That's correct! Adding meta tags to individual pages and products can greatly enhance the visibility and search engine optimization of your Shopify site. It's important to ensure that your meta tags accurately describe the content of each page and product, as this can greatly impact your search engine rankings. Additionally, you can also consider using keywords strategically in your meta tags to further optimize your site.
