Should an established Shopify brand stop blogging?

No, but it should change what it publishes. Journal posts that share first-hand knowledge about your products, materials and customers still earn their place. Generic trend posts that restate what magazines already cover rarely get cited and are the first candidates for merging.

Does a blog post need schema markup to be cited?

Not for Google's AI features. Google states that structured data isn't required for its generative AI search and that no special schema exists for it. What matters is that the answer is written plainly in the page text and that the page is crawlable and indexed.

How long should a help or guide page be?

As long as the question needs and no longer. A size guide is mostly a table and a few fit notes; a buying guide comparing five products needs more. Padding a page to reach a word count adds nothing an assistant can use.

Do translated guides help in other markets?

They help when they carry local facts, not just translated words: delivery times and costs for that country, sizes in the local system, prices in the local currency and the returns terms that apply there. A guide that answers a UK shopper's questions in UK terms is more useful to an assistant answering that shopper.
