A/B Testing (Split Testing)
Testing & Optimization
In Shopify SEO, A/B testing is used to compare different meta titles or descriptions to find the one that drives more clicks.
By rotating two versions of a title or description and measuring performance in real search results, you can take the guesswork out of optimization.
SEO A/B Tester automates this process within Shopify.
Common A/B test ideas:
- Discount vs. no discount
- Different benefit language
- Title length and keyword placement

- A test shows Version A ('Buy 1 Get 1 Free') gets 6% CTR, while Version B ('Free Shipping All Orders') gets 4.2%
Tips
- Test one variable at a time
- Run for at least 2 weeks or 1000+ impressions
