Ecommerce SEO Services That Get Your Products Found
Shoppers often start with a search, not your homepage. Our ecommerce SEO services make sure your category and product pages are the ones they land on. We fix the store-specific issues that hold catalogues back, such as filters, variants and duplicate pages, and we make every important page clear, useful and easy for search engines to understand.
Why online stores are harder to rank
A store isn't just a bigger website. It creates SEO problems that brochure sites never face:
- Thousands of near-identical pages. Filters for size, colour and price can generate endless URL combinations that waste crawl attention and split ranking signals.
- Thin product pages. Manufacturer descriptions copied across many sites give search engines no reason to prefer yours.
- Weak category pages. Category pages often target the most valuable searches, but many are just a grid of products with no supporting text or structure.
- Products that come and go. Seasonal and out-of-stock items leave broken links and lost rankings behind if they aren't handled well.
- Missing product details in search. Without structured data, your price, availability and other details are less likely to appear in results.
What our ecommerce SEO services include
Store structure and category planning
We plan a category structure that matches how people actually shop and search, so each category targets a distinct group of searches and links logically to its subcategories and products.
Category page optimisation
We turn category pages into strong landing pages: a clear heading, a short useful introduction, helpful filters, and links to related categories, without pushing the products below the fold.
Product page optimisation
We improve titles, descriptions, images and specifications so each product page answers shoppers' questions. Where you have many products, we create templates and rules that scale.
Faceted navigation and filters
We decide which filter combinations deserve their own indexable pages and which should be kept out of the index, so search engines focus on the pages that matter.
Variants, duplicates and canonicals
Sizes, colours and bundles are handled consistently, with clear canonical URLs, so similar pages don't compete with each other.
Product structured data
We add and validate product structured data so details such as price and availability can be shown in search results.
Out-of-stock and discontinued products
We set rules for what happens when products sell out or are removed: keep the page, point to alternatives, or redirect, depending on whether the product will return.
Internal linking and merchandising
We link related products, categories and guides so shoppers find what they need and search engines see which pages are most important.

Frequently asked questions
Typically store structure and category planning, category and product page optimisation, faceted navigation, variant and duplicate handling, product structured data, out-of-stock rules and internal linking.
The principles are the same, but stores have extra challenges: large catalogues, filters that create many URLs, product variants, and products that go out of stock. Ecommerce SEO focuses on those.
Usually category pages, because they target broader searches with more shoppers. Product pages matter most for specific, branded or model-number searches. Most stores need both.
If the product will return, keep the page live, say when it's expected and suggest alternatives. If it's gone for good, redirect to the closest replacement or category where one exists.
Yes. We start by reviewing what your platform allows, then work within it or recommend changes where it limits SEO.
Pricing depends on the size of your catalogue and how much needs fixing, so contact us for an estimate.
