Common Ecommerce SEO Problems We Fix

We got tired of watching small businesses get burned by agencies like this. So we built something different. They promise "AI optimization" but deliver:

Duplicate Content at Scale

Vanity metrics (impressions, not revenue)

Thin Product Descriptions

Poor Internal Link Architecture

Missing Product Schema

Every Layer of Ecommerce SEO, Built to Convert

Traffic is only half the job. We optimize for the keywords that bring buyers, not just browsers — and we build the on-page experience that turns rankings into revenue.

Product Page SEO

Your product pages are your most direct revenue drivers. We optimize each one to rank for the specific queries buyers use — not just the product name, but the “best,” “buy,” “review,” and “vs” queries that signal purchase intent.
  • Topical authority mapping for your niche
  • Buying guides and comparison articles
  • Product round-up and "best of" content
  • FAQ content targeting People Also Ask
  • Content linking to category and product pages

Ecommerce Link Building

Authority from backlinks is the hardest signal to fake and the most powerful one to earn. We build links that actually move rankings — from product reviews, roundups, niche publishers, and editorial mentions.
  • Niche product review outreach
  • "Best of" list inclusion campaigns
  • Digital PR for product launches
  • Supplier and partner link acquisition
  • Broken link and resource link building

AI & Generative Search Optimization

Google’s AI Overviews and generative search engines are changing how product discovery works. We optimize your store to appear in AI-generated answers and comparison surfaces — not just the 10 blue links.
  • AI Overview visibility for product queries
  • Structured data for AI answer extraction
  • AEO and GEO strategies for ecommerce
  • See our AEO & GEO services

Ecommerce Content Strategy

Buyers do research before they buy. Blog posts, buying guides, comparison content, and how-to articles capture those research-phase searches — and funnel readers toward your products at the right moment.
  • City and suburb-specific pages
  • Locally relevant content (not spun)
  • LocalBusiness JSON-LD schema
  • Internal linking strategy

Category Page Optimization

Category pages rank for your broadest, highest-volume commercial keywords. Most stores treat them as pure navigation. We treat them as landing pages — with content, structure, and intent signals that tell Google exactly what they’re for.
  • Category keyword mapping and architecture
  • Above-the-fold and below-the-fold content
  • Internal linking from category to product
  • Category-level schema markup

Technical SEO for Ecommerce

Ecommerce sites have technical SEO challenges that generic website SEO simply doesn’t cover. We audit and fix the issues that are silently costing you rankings right now.

Technical Ecommerce SEO That Stores Actually Need

01

Crawl Budget Management

Large stores waste Googlebot on paginated URLs, session parameters, and filter combinations. We identify and block the noise so Googlebot spends its time on URLs that matter.

02

Faceted Navigation & Canonical Strategy

Product filters — colour, size, price, brand — create thousands of near-duplicate pages. A proper canonical strategy and robots.txt setup prevents index bloat and duplicate content penalties.

03

Core Web Vitals & Page Speed

LCP, CLS, and INP are ranking signals. Ecommerce sites with heavy product images, third-party scripts, and dynamic content often fail Core Web Vitals. We diagnose the issues and fix them.

04

Product & Category Schema Markup

Product schema enables price, availability, and rating rich results. BreadcrumbList schema improves click-through. FAQPage schema targets featured snippets. We implement all of them correctly.

05

Internal Link Architecture

Authority flows through internal links. If your most important category pages are buried four clicks deep and rarely linked internally, they won't rank regardless of how good the content is.

“An ecommerce site without a serious SEO strategy is leaving its biggest revenue channel on the table. Paid ads stop when the budget stops. SEO compounds.”

Keyword Rankings for Commercial Terms

Position tracking for your category, product, and comparison keywords — the queries that bring buyers, not just browsers.

Traffic quality matters more than traffic volume. We track whether organic visitors actually buy — and optimise accordingly.

Index coverage, crawl errors, Core Web Vitals, and duplicate URL count — the technical hygiene that underpins everything else.

Questions Every Store Owner Asks

Honest answers. No upsells buried in the response, no vague timelines designed to keep you guessing.
Ecommerce SEO deals with unique challenges: thousands of product URLs, duplicate content from filters and variants, crawl budget management, product schema, and category architecture. It requires a commercial intent focus — ranking pages that convert, not just pages that attract traffic. The technical complexity is significantly higher than a standard informational website.
Technical fixes and on-page improvements can produce movement within 60 to 90 days. Category and product page ranking improvements typically take 3 to 6 months. Competitive categories in mature markets — fashion, electronics, health — may take 6 to 12 months for significant gains. We set realistic timelines based on your specific competitive landscape during the audit.

Yes. We work across Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, and custom-built stores. Each platform has specific SEO constraints and opportunities — Shopify's canonical URL structure, WooCommerce's plugin dependencies, Magento's faceted navigation complexity. We know how to work within all of them.

Large catalogs need a scalable SEO system, not page-by-page manual work. We build templates, frameworks, and structured content strategies that apply SEO best practices across your entire catalog efficiently. The priority is always your highest-revenue categories first, then we work outward.
Yes. We manage hreflang implementation, country-specific keyword research, regional pricing and currency signals, and market-specific content strategies for the US, UK, and Australia. International stores have unique cannibalisation risks that require careful technical handling — we know exactly where those traps are.

We track organic revenue, organic transactions, ranking positions for commercial keywords, product and category page traffic, conversion rate from organic, and crawl health metrics. Not just overall traffic or keyword count — those are vanity metrics. A store owner needs to see the line between SEO work and money in the bank.
