SEO for Ecommerce Brands

SEO for ecommerce brands that want category and product pages to rank: site structure, faceted navigation, product content and technical fixes for stores with large catalogs.

An online store can have great products and still lose to competitors who simply show up first and convert better. Growth comes from aligning catalog structure with how people actually search and shop.

/01

THE SITUATION

An online store can have thousands of URLs, most of them created by filters, sorting and pagination. Search engines spend their time crawling near-identical pages while the categories that matter rank on page three. Product descriptions are often copied from suppliers, so the same text appears on dozens of competing stores.

/02

WHY IT MATTERS

Category pages bring most of the organic revenue in ecommerce, because they match the searches people make before choosing a product. When they are weak or buried under filter pages, the store pays for that traffic in ads, product by product, every month.

/03

HOW WE APPROACH IT

We fix what search engines crawl and index first: filters, parameters, pagination, canonical tags and internal links. Then we strengthen category pages with useful text, filters that match real searches and structured data, and rewrite product content where it competes with the same supplier text elsewhere.

/WHAT YOUR BUYERS SEARCH FOR

Shoppers search at different levels of a catalog.

  • A category with an attribute, such as waterproof hiking boots for women
  • A brand and a product line
  • An exact model or product code
  • Comparison and best-of searches before a purchase
  • Questions about size, compatibility or use

/WHAT THE WORK COVERS

Faceted navigation

Filter pages that match real searches are indexed, the rest are kept out of the crawl.

Category content

Category pages with helpful text, internal links and the filters people search for.

Product data

Unique product content and structured data for price, stock and reviews.

Technical SEO

Crawling, indexing, site speed and structured data, fixed in order of impact.

Monthly reporting

Rankings, organic traffic and the inquiries or sales it produced, compared with the starting point.

/HOW LONG IT TAKES

/01

Audit and first fixes

We crawl the site, check what Google indexes and fix what blocks the pages that already get impressions.

/02

Content and links

New and rewritten pages target the searches mapped in the audit, supported by links from sites your buyers read.

/03

Measure and adjust

Every month we compare rankings, traffic and inquiries with the baseline and move effort to what is working.
