Ecommerce SEO ServicesEcommerce SEO services for UK online stores that want sales from Google, not just visits. We optimise Shopify, WooCommerce and custom stores from our studio in Manchester, and we build and fix the stores ourselves.
Ecommerce SEO is optimising an online store so its category and product pages rank for the searches shoppers make before they buy, such as "men's waterproof walking boots" or a specific product model.
Online stores have SEO problems brochure sites never face: thousands of near-identical product pages, filters that create endless duplicate URLs, products that go out of stock, and manufacturer descriptions copied across hundreds of other retailers.
Because we build Shopify and WooCommerce stores as well as optimise them, we can fix these problems in the store itself rather than handing you a report and hoping a developer gets to it.
Buyer searches matched to the right category, subcategory and product pages, so each page has one clear job.
Titles, headings, intro copy and internal links for the pages that usually drive most ecommerce search traffic.
Unique descriptions, useful specifications, image alt text and FAQs in place of copied manufacturer text.
Crawl budget, canonical tags, faceted navigation, pagination and duplicate URL control.
Product, Offer and review markup that matches what is on the page, for richer search results.
Image, theme, app and script clean-up so product and collection pages load fast on mobile.
Rules that keep rankings when products sell out or are replaced, instead of creating broken pages.
Guides and comparisons that answer pre-purchase questions and link shoppers to the right products.
A crawl of the whole store to find duplicate URLs, indexing problems, speed issues and thin pages.
Commercial searches mapped to categories and products, with gaps identified for new collections.
Canonicals, filters, redirects, schema and speed improvements implemented in the store.
Priority pages rewritten for shoppers and search, starting with those closest to page one.
Links and mentions from relevant publications, suppliers and gift guides.
Rankings, organic sessions and organic revenue tracked in GA4 each month.
Filters create thousands of duplicate pages. Colour, size and price filters can generate a separate URL for every combination. Left unmanaged, Google spends its time crawling near-duplicates instead of your important categories. The fix is deciding which filtered pages deserve to rank and keeping the rest out of the index.
Copied product descriptions do not rank. When hundreds of retailers use the same manufacturer text, Google has no reason to prefer your page. Rewriting descriptions for your best-selling and highest-margin products first gives the biggest return.
Category pages usually matter more than product pages. Shoppers searching broadly land on categories. A short, useful introduction, clear subcategory links and good internal linking often lift a whole range of products at once.
Structured data must match the page. Product markup with price, availability and genuine reviews can earn richer results, but Google treats markup that does not match the visible page as spam. We only mark up what shoppers can see.
Ecommerce SEO works best with paid search and a fast store. See our Google Shopping management, Shopify agency and WooCommerce development services, and our wider SEO services.
Ecommerce SEO services optimise an online store's category pages, product pages and technical setup so they rank in Google for the searches shoppers make before buying, increasing organic sales.
Online stores have large numbers of similar pages, filter URLs, changing stock and copied product descriptions. Ecommerce SEO focuses on controlling duplicates, optimising category pages and making product pages unique.
Yes. We optimise Shopify, Shopify Plus, WooCommerce and custom-built stores, and we can implement the technical changes ourselves.
Technical fixes and category improvements can show results within a few months. Competitive product categories take longer and depend on your store's authority.
Usually category pages, because they target broader searches with more volume and pass authority to the products they link to. Best-selling products come next.
We are based at 174 Wilmslow Road in Manchester and work with online stores across the UK.
