E-commerce SEO

Product pages that get found — and get added to cart.

Organic traffic you don’t rent by the click. We get your product and category pages ranking, wired for rich results, and fast enough to close the sale — so your store stops living and dying on ad spend.

The problem

You’re paying rent on every sale. Organic is the store you own.

Clicks by search position
#1 organic result ~39%
#3 organic result ~10%
Page 2 and beyond <1%
Product searches reward the top results — industry averages

Here’s the trap most online stores fall into: the only traffic they trust is the traffic they buy. Turn the ads off and the orders stop. That’s not a business, that’s a slot machine — feed it every month or it goes dark. Meanwhile the product and category pages that could rank for free sit buried on page four, because nobody ever built them to be found.

E-commerce SEO is its own animal. You’re not ranking one homepage — you’re wrangling hundreds or thousands of product URLs, category pages, filters, and variants, half of which are quietly generating duplicate content and cannibalizing each other. Thin descriptions the manufacturer wrote (and every competitor also pasted), faceted navigation spawning infinite junk URLs, out-of-stock pages 404ing and dumping the rankings they earned. Google crawls the mess, shrugs, and shows the store that got the plumbing right.

And speed is money here in a way it isn’t anywhere else. Every extra second before a product image loads is a cart that never happens. A slow store doesn’t just rank worse — it converts worse on the traffic it already paid for. You’re losing at both ends of the same page.

The approach

How we get your catalog ranking

01

Fix the technical foundation first.

Big catalogs break in predictable ways, so we go straight for the plumbing: canonical tags that stop variants from fighting each other, faceted-navigation rules that keep filters from spawning ten thousand junk URLs, clean handling of out-of-stock and discontinued products so you never bleed rankings on a 404. Then we make it fast — because a store that loads instantly ranks better and sells more, which is exactly why we lean on the same hand-coded, sub-1.2-second build we use everywhere else.

02

Win the rich results with Product schema.

Price, availability, ratings, shipping — we mark it all up with Product structured data so your listings can show up in search with stars and prices attached, not just a blue link. That’s more real estate on the results page and a click that already knows what it’s getting before it lands.

03

Kill the duplicate and thin content.

Manufacturer copy pasted on a thousand stores is invisible to Google. We rewrite category and top-product pages with descriptions that actually say something, consolidate the near-duplicates, and build out the category-level content buyers search for — turning a warehouse of thin pages into a library of ranking ones. It pairs hard with our content marketing work.

04

Wire the internal links like a store, not a maze.

Your best products should be the easiest to reach — for shoppers and for Google’s crawler. We map category-to-product and product-to-related linking so authority flows to the pages that make money, deep inventory actually gets indexed, and a visitor who lands on one product finds three more they want.

What you get

What you walk away with

  • A full technical audit of your catalog — crawl budget, canonicals, faceted navigation, and index bloat
  • Product and category pages marked up with Product schema for rich results
  • Rewritten, distinct descriptions on priority category and product pages — no pasted manufacturer copy
  • A duplicate- and thin-content cleanup that consolidates cannibalizing URLs
  • An internal linking structure that pushes authority to your money pages
  • Out-of-stock and discontinued-product handling that protects earned rankings
  • Page-speed work on the templates that matter most to conversion
  • Keyword and category mapping tied to what buyers actually search before they buy
Straight answers

Questions we get asked.

Which platforms do you work with?

The big ones — Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and custom builds. E-commerce SEO fundamentals don’t change with the logo on the dashboard: clean crawlable URLs, Product schema, fast templates, and content that isn’t duplicated across the internet. We work within your platform’s guardrails and push it as far as it’ll go.

I have thousands of products. Do you optimize every single one?

No — and any agency that promises to is selling you busywork. We fix the templates and technical rules that lift every page at once, then hand-optimize the categories and top products that drive the revenue. That’s where the return is. The long tail benefits from the foundation without us writing a thousand descriptions by hand.

Can’t I just run ads instead?

You can, and plenty of stores should run both. But ads stop the second you stop paying, while a category page ranking organically keeps selling for years. We think of it as owning the storefront versus renting the billboard — the smart move is a store that ranks and a paid program that scales, not one holding up the whole business.

How long until I see results?

Technical fixes — speed, schema, crawl issues — can move things in weeks. Ranking gains on competitive product and category terms typically build over three to six months as pages get re-crawled and earn trust. E-commerce SEO is a compounding asset, not a switch. We report on real movement the whole way, no vanity metrics.

Do you write the product descriptions?

For your priority categories and top products, yes — original copy built to rank and to sell, not manufacturer boilerplate. For deep inventory we’ll build the system and templates so your team can scale it consistently. Retainers start at $3,500/mo and scale with catalog size and scope.
