Understanding your market
Start with the shelf, then the story.
A shop with thousands of products does not automatically have thousands of useful landing pages. We look at how people shop your range, where the catalogue creates friction and which categories deserve more attention.
Ecommerce SEO improves the pages people use to find, compare and buy products. That includes category structure, product information, technical accessibility and buying advice that helps someone choose.
We prioritise with your commercial team. Search demand matters, but so do stock, margin, seasonality and the products you want to grow. A busy page for an unavailable product is a different opportunity from a profitable category with room to sell more.
Before adding content, we check what already exists. Overlapping collections, filter combinations and old product URLs can make a store harder to navigate and maintain. The aim is a coherent catalogue with useful pages, supported by a deliberate indexing and redirect plan.
What we do
Work on the pages that do the selling.
A joined-up view of your catalogue, platform and commercial priorities.
Catalogue technical SEO
Review filters, duplicate URLs, canonical tags, pagination and internal links. Give developers clear fixes with reasons and acceptance criteria.
Product and category content
Improve product details, comparison information and category introductions so shoppers can make an informed choice.
Product data and discovery
Check relevant product structured data and the consistency of price, availability and product information across the site and your feeds.
Buying advice and internal links
Create guides where they answer real purchase questions, with natural routes back to suitable products and collections.
Commercial reporting
Review organic sales and conversion data alongside visibility. Account for stock changes, promotions and seasonality when interpreting results.
Built around your site
Work with the platform you have.
We recommend a rebuild when the evidence supports it. Many shops have useful improvements available within their current setup.
Shopify
Collection structure, product templates, navigation and app impact, with recommendations that account for Shopify’s platform constraints.

Your catalogue shapes the roadmap
We work around availability, margin and your trading calendar. SEO priorities should make sense to the people running the shop.
Technical recommendations you can use
We explain the issue, the affected templates and the proposed change so your developers can estimate and implement the work.
A considered approach to consolidation
Before removing a category or product page, we check search demand, traffic, links and suitable alternatives. Redirects are planned deliberately.

Questions about ecommerce seo
Do you work with Shopify and WooCommerce?
Yes. We review the actual theme, catalogue and platform setup before defining the work. Some changes can be made within the store; others require your developer or an agreed implementation scope.
Should we delete out-of-stock product pages?
It depends on whether the product will return, whether people still search for it and whether a useful alternative exists. We assess these factors before recommending that a page remains live, redirects or is removed.
Do all categories need long SEO copy?
No. Category content should help a shopper understand the range or choose between options. Product selection, navigation and useful comparison details may matter more than a long block of generic text.
How do you measure ecommerce SEO?
We use search visibility and landing-page performance alongside organic transactions, revenue and conversion data where available. We also account for promotions, stock changes and seasonality rather than attributing every movement to SEO.
