SEO A/B Tester vs SEO Scout

SEO A/B Tester is a web app for Shopify stores that compares page titles and meta descriptions to help improve Google search click-through rate. It tests alternative text against the current version and tracks clicks, impressions, and click-through rate with statistical analysis. Each variant runs for 14 days, making a typical single experiment about 28 days. The app can request immediate Google recrawls after variants are published, and it can test product pages, collection pages, and other pages. When an experiment ends, it reports the winning variant and applies it to the Shopify page. SEO A/B Tester works with Shopify Admin and Google Search Console; its Search Console access is read-only and limited to search performance metrics needed for testing. The maker recommends around 200–300 daily impressions per page, ideally 1,000 or more. Homepage testing is not supported because of Shopify API limitations. A free plan includes one experiment, and paid access starts at $4.99. There is no free trial.

SEO Scout is a web SEO platform combining site crawling with keyword and Google Search Console position reporting. Its audits identify thin content, slow pages, weak internal linking, and missing or weak title tags. Users can track unlimited keywords and group related phrases. A writing assistant compares content with competing pages and highlights missing topics, entities, and terms; listed content capabilities include search intent, topic coverage, entity analysis, briefs, and readability scoring. SEO tests can change titles, meta descriptions, page content, structured markup, canonicals, and meta robots directives. Tests generally compare Search Console performance before and after a change, with similar pages optionally grouped against a control. The product requests Search Console access and describes WordPress and JavaScript implementation options. Plans are Starter at $49.00 per month billed $490 annually, Business at $99.00 per month billed $990 annually, and Agency at $199.00 per month billed $1992 annually. A 7-day trial is available, but there is no full free plan. Scout Suggest is a separate free autocomplete tool without volume or CPC metrics.
