eCommerce SEO isn’t blog SEO. Category pages, product pages, and faceted navigation play by different rules.
The three things that move eCommerce traffic
1. Category page authority
Your category pages — not your homepage — should rank for your most valuable keywords. We rewrite category copy, optimise category schema, and build internal links into them from blog content and product pages.
2. Product schema + reviews
Real Product, Offer, AggregateRating, and Review schema across every product page. This unlocks rich snippets in Google and AI-engine citability.
3. Faceted nav discipline
Most stores have a crawl budget problem caused by infinite faceted nav (color × size × brand × price ranges = millions of URLs). We deploy canonical, noindex, and robots rules to fix this without losing traffic.
Common eCommerce SEO mistakes we fix
- Thin category pages with no real copy
- Missing or invalid Product schema
- Out-of-stock items returning 200 status (should be 404 or noindex)
- No internal linking strategy between blog content and product pages
- Slow LCP because of unoptimised product images
- No review schema on product pages
What this means for your business
What makes our approach to eCommerce SEO different
Most agencies still sell 2018-era SEO. We don't. Our eCommerce SEO methodology blends technical SEO foundations, EEAT-rigorous content, real authority links, and AI-search optimisation (GEO + AEO). You get a senior strategist, live dashboards, monthly strategy calls, and transparent reporting. Engagements run a 90-day initial period, then month-to-month with 7 days' notice — no long lock-in.
Realistic 90-day outcomes
On a typical eCommerce SEO engagement, the first 30 days deliver a 100-point audit, a prioritised roadmap, and technical foundation fixes (CWV, schema, internal linking). Days 31-60 add a content production cadence, the first authority links from real publications, and AI-search optimisation passes. Days 61-90 aim for the first ranking movement and AI citations beginning to register, with a clear next-quarter strategy. Timelines vary by market and competition, and results are never guaranteed.
EEAT signals we build into every page
Every page we publish for eCommerce SEO campaigns aims for: clear authorship and human review, citations from primary sources (Google Search Central, Moz, Ahrefs, SEMrush, government publications), original research where applicable, structured Q&A formatting for AI-search citability, accurate schema markup (Article, FAQPage, Organization, BreadcrumbList), and transparent published + updated dates. This is the rigour Google's quality raters reward — and the rigour ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude reward with citations.
Why AI search optimisation matters now
AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI Overviews) are taking a growing share of search-driven discovery in most categories. Brands that start now build citation share their competitors will later have to claw back. Every eCommerce SEO engagement on our Growth tier and above includes GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) work — schema completeness, structured Q&A rewrites, primary-source citation language, and monthly probe tracking of the major AI engines.
How eCommerce SEO fits with our other services
Our work is most effective when eCommerce SEO is integrated with the rest of our service stack — technical SEO foundation, content marketing engine, authority link building, local SEO if relevant, and AI-search optimisation. eCommerce SEO is commonly the lead service, with one or two adjacent services added once the data shows where the next gain is. We never push add-ons — we recommend what your data shows will actually compound.
