E-commerce SEO has unique challenges — massive page counts, faceted navigation, duplicate product descriptions, and seasonal demand shifts. I specialise in SEO strategies built for online stores that drive purchases, not just visits.

E-commerce SEO is a different beast from content-based SEO. You're dealing with thousands (sometimes millions) of product pages, complex faceted navigation that can create crawl nightmares, manufacturer-supplied product descriptions that are duplicated across hundreds of retailers, and seasonal demand that shifts dramatically throughout the year. Generic SEO advice doesn't cut it here. I build strategies specifically for online stores — from category page architecture to product schema to internal linking systems that guide users (and crawlers) toward your highest-margin products.

Who this is for

  • Online stores with 500+ products struggling to get organic category-level traffic
  • E-commerce brands over-reliant on paid advertising for sales
  • Stores with faceted navigation creating indexation and crawl issues
  • Retailers using manufacturer-provided product descriptions (duplicate content)
  • Any e-commerce business whose organic revenue is below 30% of total

How it works

1

E-Commerce Audit

Full audit focused on e-commerce-specific issues: faceted navigation, product/category indexation, duplicate content, schema implementation, and internal linking efficiency.

2

Architecture Strategy

Design the optimal category structure, URL hierarchy, and internal linking system. Category pages are your most important landing pages — they need to be treated as such.

3

Optimise & Scale

Implement product and category optimisations, product schema, and content enhancements. Create templates and processes that scale across thousands of pages.

4

Measure Revenue

Track organic revenue by category, product, and keyword. Connect SEO efforts directly to the bottom line with enhanced e-commerce tracking.

What's included

Category & Product Page Optimization

Optimise category pages as landing pages for high-intent keywords, and ensure product pages have unique, compelling content that ranks and converts. Category pages are where the revenue is in e-commerce SEO — I treat them as your most important assets.

Faceted Navigation & Crawl Management

Control how search engines handle filter URLs to prevent crawl waste and duplicate content — one of the biggest technical SEO challenges in e-commerce. I implement proper canonicalisation, parameter handling, and crawl directives so Google indexes what matters.

Product Schema Markup

Implement Product, Offer, AggregateRating, and Review schema to unlock rich results — star ratings, pricing, availability, and shipping info — directly in search results. Rich snippets can increase click-through rates by 20–30%.

Internal Linking Strategy

Build internal linking structures that pass authority to your most important category and product pages and guide users through the purchase journey. Smart internal linking is the most underutilised lever in e-commerce SEO.

Frequently asked questions

Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, and custom-built stores. SEO principles are universal; implementation details vary by platform. I have particular depth with Shopify and WooCommerce, which cover the majority of mid-market stores.
It depends on the situation. Temporary out-of-stock pages are usually kept live with "notify me" messaging. Permanently discontinued products should typically 301 redirect to the most relevant replacement or category page — preserving any link equity and avoiding 404 dead ends.
Absolutely. Organic search traffic has zero marginal cost per click and compounds over time. Many e-commerce businesses achieve their best CAC through organic — especially for informational and mid-funnel queries. The ideal approach is organic and paid working together, with organic carrying the long-term load.
Yes — it's one of the biggest e-commerce SEO issues. If 100 retailers use the same product description, Google has no reason to rank yours. I develop strategies for creating unique product content at scale: enriched descriptions, unique buying guides, comparison content, and user-generated content integration.
Keep seasonal category and product pages live year-round to preserve authority and rankings. Update the content and messaging seasonally (e.g., "Christmas decorations" page stays live but messaging shifts to "Shop early for Christmas 2026"). Starting SEO efforts 3–4 months before peak season ensures you capture the demand when it arrives.
