Companies Using Avada SEO

I expected Avada SEO's count to tell me how many Shopify stores Avada was optimising. It tells me something narrower. A domain counts here when its pages load a file from seo.apps.avada.io, and that file, avada-seo-installed.js, is 113 bytes of copyright comment. It does nothing. It's a flag the app leaves on the store, registered as a Shopify script tag, and Shopify's documentation says an app's script tags are removed automatically when the app is uninstalled. So the 13,149 live domains in our October 2026 crawl are stores with the app installed, 4,824 of them matched to a company. The rule itself is clean: 25 random stores out of 25, and 151 of 152 in a second random sample, loaded the file.

What an install looks like on the page

In that sample of 152 stores, 22 (14.5%) had Avada's storefront embed switched on, 66 (43.4%) carried the "Added by AVADA SEO Suite" block in their theme, and 80 (52.6%) showed no other Avada output in the page at all. Seven were password pages, stores that aren't open yet. None of that means the other stores get nothing. Image compression, alt text and meta titles are saved to the store's own data and leave no Avada marker behind. But it does mean this is a list of installs, and an install can be a free-plan trial nobody went back to.

Sales signal: treat the list as stores that tried a Shopify SEO app and kept it installed. The 22 in 152 with the storefront embed switched on are the most engaged, and the page source shows which group a prospect is in.

A flat line since July

The chart reads 11,723 in June, 13,524 in July, 13,324 in August, 12,888 in September and 13,149 in October. The June step comes from our side: the domains we crawl turn over every month as dead stores drop out and new ones are found, and our detection widens over time. Since July the line has moved within about 640 domains. The churn figure needs the same care. About 2,800 domains dropped Avada SEO since March 2026, and 386 of them still load it on another hostname. Of the 2,416 that dropped it everywhere, 2,067 were still Shopify stores. I opened 84 of those in October: 44 were loading Avada's file again, 9 kept only Avada's block in their theme and 31 showed no trace of the app. Avada's file loads after the rest of the page, and a scan that finishes first records a drop that didn't happen.

"About half the stores we recorded as leaving Avada SEO were loading it again when I opened them. A script that loads late makes churn look worse than it is." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: don't treat a drop in our data as a lost customer until you've opened the store. The 31 in 84 with no trace of the app are the real open slots for a rival app or an SEO service.

Who installs it

72.63% of matched companies with a known size have 1 to 10 employees and 19.55% have 11 to 50. Only 18 have more than 1,000. They're young, too: 45.83% were founded in the 2010s and 28.84% in the 2020s. The large names are often running a side store. Ford's is merchandise.ford.com, Freedom from Torture's is a charity shop and the Heart Foundation's is its online shop. Lenox and Frida run it on their main stores. Avada doesn't publish a customer list we could cross-check, so every name here comes from our crawl and a store we opened in October 2026.

Sales signal: the buyer is usually the founder or a one-person e-commerce team. Price and setup time matter more to them than features, so lead with the hours you save.

India and the English-speaking markets

The United States has 1,626 matched companies, the United Kingdom 533, Canada 377 and Australia 349. India is fifth with 249, and it supplies a disproportionate share of the bigger brands: Intex Technologies, Mapro, Captain Steel, Renee Cosmetics, Third Wave Coffee and Flurys. Retail (20.01%) and Retail Apparel and Fashion (11.38%) lead the industries, and with jewellery and LinkedIn's older apparel label they reach about 38%. Food and drink adds a smaller cluster.

Sales signal: Indian D2C brands on Shopify are an underused list. Several are much larger than the typical Avada store.

Two SEO apps on one store

Overlap with other Shopify SEO apps is small. 45 domains run Avada SEO and SEOAnt today, and 72 run it alongside Yoast SEO for Shopify. We've seen 82 domains carry Avada SEO and SEOAnt at some point, and more than half of them still carry both, so these aren't clean switches and we don't publish them as switching. Our data can't say which of the two apps is doing the work on those stores.

"Two SEO apps on one store is rarely a plan. On those stores I'd want to know which one is writing the structured data." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: the 45 stores with SEOAnt and the 72 with Yoast SEO for Shopify are an audit pitch. Check each for two sets of structured data before you call; where both apps write it, it shows in one screenshot.

The stack around it

Of the 13,121 live domains in our stack base, Judge.me runs on 26.71%, Klaviyo Reviews on 21.01% and Klaviyo's email tag on 28.59%. Mailchimp is on 14.37% and Instafeed on 20.36%. Apple Pay (73.07%) and Shop Pay (68.85%) are the most common payment buttons. The AVADA Commerce row at 98.48% is our catch-all for any avada.io script, so it re-counts the same file. Our Shopify analytics analysis covers the wider app picture on these stores.

Sales signal: Klaviyo is on fewer than three in ten of these stores and Mailchimp on 14.37%. Email and SMS tools have plenty of room on this list.

What it costs

The Shopify App Store listing, checked on 14 October 2026, shows a Free plan, Pro at $34.95 a month or $348 a year and Enterprise at $99 a month or $990 a year, with a 7-day trial on both paid plans. It's marked Built for Shopify, rated 4.9 from 4,685 reviews and launched on 21 April 2020. The listing gives the developer's address as Peace Centre, Singapore, and the company behind it, Avada Commerce, lists an office in Hanoi on avada.io. I'd put the size of the installed base down to that free plan more than to any one feature.

Sales signal: some of these stores will be on the free plan. If your product needs a paying customer, qualify on store size before you call.

Key takeaways

1. 13,149 live domains, all on Shopify, 7th of 48 in SEO Tools and the largest Shopify-only app in that category.

2. The rule reads an install flag, so this is a list of installs; 14.5% of sampled stores had the storefront embed on.

3. About 1.2 domains per store; no merchant covers more than 11 domains.

4. Small, young retailers: 72.63% have 1 to 10 staff and 74.67% were founded in 2010 or later.

5. Recorded churn overstates leavers: 44 of 84 sampled stores marked as dropping it were loading the file again.
