Recover collection meta titles and descriptions overwritten on Shopify

Collections are the forgotten half of Shopify SEO — they rank for category queries, but most backup and SEO tools only track products, so an overwrite of collection meta titles/descriptions usually has no safety net at all.

If you didn't already have a backup, those old values are gone — Shopify keeps no history.

The steps below recover what you can. To make the next time a 1-click undo instead of hours of CSV work: a daily snapshot of every SEO field. Free to monitor, no card — and SEO Vault only reads your store unless you click restore.

Step by step

  1. Pause the app or bulk action that edited collections.
  2. Restore collection meta titles and descriptions from a snapshot that explicitly covers collections, not just products.
  3. Re-submit the affected collection URLs in Google Search Console once corrected.
  4. Use a tool that snapshots collection SEO fields daily — not only product fields — so category pages are protected too.
