Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.4

GPA, above 33 of the 78 other SEO plugins and apps we grade

SearchPie: AI SEO & Schema is a Shopify app from PieLab that adds JSON-LD schema for rich results, writes meta tags and alt text in bulk or with AI, submits pages through IndexNow and sitemaps, finds and fixes broken links, and compresses images and minifies code for speed. It also writes an llms.txt file and scores a store's readiness for AI search. A free Starter plan covers the basics.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about SearchPie, taken from its own pages and our grades.

It installs from the Shopify App Store, but tag templates, schema types and speed options are yours to set, plan by plan.

Who SearchPie is for

  • Pricey if you want keyword research or tracking, which need Enterprise at $99 a month
  • Watch out: SearchPie's own pricing page lists a $399 Plus plan that the Shopify listing doesn't show
  • Watch out: one-off SEO and speed services are sold separately on its site
  • Skip it if your store isn't on Shopify, as it runs nowhere else

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace SearchPie you would be making search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

It costs $468 a year.

What you could make

  • Schema markup: an app builder makes this well.

What you could not

  • Search volumes for millions of keywords, gathered and kept up to date.
  • A crawler that checks every page of a site.
  • Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
  • The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

What this rests on. SearchPie’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
