    The e-commerce problem

    Most stores are
    technically invisible.

    E-commerce platforms are built for selling, not for search. Faceted navigation creates thousands of thin, duplicate URLs. Category pages have no editorial content. Product pages are identical across variants. These aren't small issues — they're the reason most stores can't break into the first page for their most valuable queries.

    We've recovered seven-figure revenue losses from penalty, rebuilt catalogue architecture from scratch, and taken category pages from page five to position one in competitive retail verticals.

    The technical complexity is real. So is the payoff when it's done correctly.

    E-com SEO isarchitectural.

    Noteditorial.

    Most agencies treat your store like a blog — write more content, build more links, repeat. That works for publishers. It's the wrong job for an e-commerce site.

    Your store doesn't have a content problem. It has a structural one. Tens of thousands of URLs that shouldn't exist. Category pages that should rank for head terms but don't. Product pages competing with each other for the same query. A crawl budget being burned on filter combinations no customer will ever see.

    E-commerce SEO is the work of rebuilding the architecture so the right pages earn authority and the wrong ones disappear. Content comes after. So does linking. The structure comes first.

    → ARCHITECTURE FIRST · CONTENT SECOND · LINKS THIRD

    What we do

    E-commerce SEO,
    top to bottom.

    Category Page SEO

    Your category pages are the highest-value real estate on your store. We engineer them to rank for high-volume, high-intent queries — with the architecture, content, and internal links to hold that position.

    Product Page Optimisation

    Unique, structured product content that ranks, converts, and earns rich results. Scalable across catalogues of thousands or hundreds of thousands of SKUs.

    Technical SEO for Catalogues

    Crawl budget management, faceted navigation control, canonicalisation, and duplicate content resolution — the unique technical challenges that make or break large-catalogue SEO.

    Shopify & WooCommerce SEO

    Platform-specific optimisation that works around the inherent limitations of Shopify's URL structure and WooCommerce's default configuration — engineered for ranking performance.

    E-commerce Content Strategy

    Buying guides, comparison content, and category editorial that captures mid-funnel intent, builds topical authority, and drives qualified traffic to your product and category pages.

    Revenue-Tied Reporting

    Monthly reporting that connects organic traffic changes to basket value, conversion rate, and revenue — not just rank positions. You see the commercial impact of every piece of work.

    Category pagesearn the volume.

    Product pages chase long-tail terms with low individual volume. Category pages target high-volume commercial head terms — and they should inherit authority from every product underneath them. Most stores have this inverted.

    How a healthy e-commerce site distributes authority

    Category authority pyramidA pyramid showing one Men's Running Shoes category page (50,000 searches/mo) sitting above three subcategories (Road, Trail, Racing — 8K, 5K, 2K/mo) which sit above 200+ product pages, with dotted arrows showing authority flowing upward. Below the pyramid, two bars compare SEO investment: most stores allocate 16% to category and 76% to product pages; the recommended split is 60% category, 24% product.// .categoryMen's Running Shoes50,000 searches/mo · 1 page// .subcategoryRoad Running8K/mo// .subcategoryTrail Running5K/mo// .subcategoryRacing Flats2K/mo// .productBrand A · 200/mo// .productBrand B · 150/mo// .productBrand C · 90/mo// .productBrand D · 70/mo// .productBrand E · 60/mo// .product+200 more↑ AUTHORITY FLOWS UPSEO INVESTMENT — WHAT MOST STORES DO:16% CATEGORY · 76% PRODUCTSEO INVESTMENT — WHAT IT SHOULD BE:60% CATEGORY · 24% PRODUCT

    → 200+ PRODUCTS · 3 SUBCATEGORIES · 1 CATEGORY · ONE AUTHORITY STACK

    Internal links from every product point to the category. Subcategories pass topical relevance upward. The result is one heavyweight page that ranks for the term worth winning — and the products underneath get found because the customer landed on the category first.

    → THE CATEGORY IS THE RANKING ASSET · THE PRODUCT IS THE CONVERSION ASSET

    Faceted nav iseating your crawl budget.

    Every filter combination — size, colour, price, brand — generates a new URL. One category can become 10,000+ thin, near-duplicate pages. Google crawls them, can't tell which one matters, and demotes the lot.

    // .url_explosion

    One category page · uncontrolled facets

    Faceted navigation URL explosionA single canonical /running-shoes category page on the left branches into example facet URLs (size, colour, brand, combinations) which in turn explode into 10,400 thin duplicate URLs on the right, destroying crawl budget. Impact line lists demoted canonical category, diluted authority, and lost rich results.// .category/running-shoes1 page · canonical/running-shoes?size=9/running-shoes?colour=black/running-shoes?brand=nike/running-shoes?size=9&colour=black/running-shoes?price=lt-100&brand=...// .indexable_urls10,400THIN DUPLICATEScrawl budget destroyedIMPACT: canonical category demoted · authority diluted · rich results lost

    → THE FIX: CANONICAL TAGS + SELECTIVE NOINDEX + ROBOTS RULES · RUN PER PLATFORM

    The fix isn't to delete facets — customers need them. It's to control which combinations Google can index. Most stores have one canonical version (the unfiltered category) and the rest are either canonicalised back to it or excluded from the index entirely. Done correctly, crawl budget concentrates on the pages that earn revenue.

    This is one of the highest-leverage technical fixes in e-commerce SEO. We see stores recover entire ranking positions within weeks of resolving it.

    On e-commerce SEO
    "E-commerce SEO is unforgiving. The gap between a site that works and one that doesn't often comes down to three or four structural decisions made years ago. We find those and fix them."

    I've worked with stores from 500 SKUs to 2 million. The scale changes the approach; the fundamentals don't. Get the architecture right, earn the authority, produce the content — in that order.
