What We Do

What E-commerce SEO Actually Involves

Online stores have unique challenges that generic SEO agencies often miss, thousands of product pages, complex category structures, faceted navigation creating crawl traps, duplicate content from product variants, and the need to balance SEO with conversion rate optimisation. We've spent years solving these problems across Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and custom platforms.

Product Page Optimisation

Unique, keyword-targeted product descriptions, optimised title tags, product-specific schema (price, availability, reviews), internal linking between related products, and image optimisation for visual search.

Category Architecture

Category hierarchy that mirrors how customers search and browse. We structure categories as landing pages, targeting commercial keywords, with unique descriptions, faceted navigation controls, and proper canonicalisation.

Faceted Navigation & Crawl Control

Filters can generate millions of URL combinations. We implement technical solutions, canonical tags, parameter handling, noindex directives, and crawl path design, preventing waste while keeping useful filter pages indexable.

Product Schema & Rich Results

Product, Offer, AggregateRating, and Review schema generating rich snippets, price, availability, star ratings, and review counts directly in SERPs. This dramatically increases click-through rates from search results.

Buying-Journey Content

Content that captures customers at every stage, comparison guides, buying guides, how-to articles, and product roundups that build topical authority and funnel research-stage traffic toward your product pages.

Platform-Specific Optimisation

Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, each platform has its own SEO quirks, limitations, and opportunities. We know them inside out and optimise within each platform's constraints.

Going Deeper

E-commerce SEO Under the Microscope

The complexities unique to online stores that generic SEO agencies miss.

Faceted Navigation, The Silent Ranking Killer

+
E-commerce sites with filters (size, colour, price, brand) can generate millions of URL combinations, each a crawl trap wasting Google's budget and creating duplicate content. We implement canonicalisation strategies, parameter handling, noindex directives, and crawl paths that guide Google to categories and products rather than infinite filter permutations. This is one of the most damaging and most commonly missed issues in e-commerce SEO.

Out-of-Stock & Seasonal Products

+
What happens to a product page that ranked well but the product goes out of stock or is discontinued? Deleting the page loses all accumulated SEO equity. Leaving it live frustrates users. Redirecting to a category page may not match intent. We implement different strategies depending on the scenario, temporary out-of-stock messaging with clear alternatives, 301 redirects to the closest equivalent, or soft deletes that preserve the URL for when the product returns. Every approach is chosen to retain maximum ranking equity while serving user needs.

Shopify vs WooCommerce vs Magento, Platform Trade-Offs

+
Shopify is clean and fast but has limited URL structure control, forced /collections/ and /products/ paths, and limited schema customisation without apps. WooCommerce offers maximum flexibility but can suffer from plugin bloat and speed issues. Magento handles complex stores well but requires significant server resources and technical expertise. We know the SEO strengths and limitations of each platform inside out and optimise within each one's constraints, using the right plugins, custom code, and configuration to maximise organic performance regardless of which platform you're on.

AI Shopping & Product Recommendations

+
AI platforms are increasingly being used for product research and recommendations. When someone asks ChatGPT "what's the best running shoe for flat feet" or asks Gemini to compare kitchen mixers, the AI draws from product reviews, buying guides, and well-structured product pages. Stores with comprehensive content strategies, proper product schema, and strong authority signals are more likely to be recommended. We structure your product content and buying guides specifically for AI visibility alongside traditional search rankings.
