ECOMMERCE SEO

Ecommerce SEO Consultant

Ecommerce SEO lives or dies on category structure, faceted navigation, and product data at scale, problems a blog-focused SEO strategy usually doesn't touch. I work across Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, and custom builds, and I've written most of what's below from handling these exact issues on real stores.

8+ years of SEO experience — no obligation.

Most ecommerce SEO advice is written for blogs and then loosely adapted, which is exactly why it misses the things that actually move an online store: category pages fighting their own filters for rankings, product variants quietly duplicating each other, a migration that wipes out five years of backlinks in an afternoon. Below is everything I’ve written on these problems, organised by where they tend to show up.

Category and product pages #

The pages that carry most of a store’s organic traffic, and usually where the fastest wins are hiding.

Technical SEO at scale #

Duplicate content, filters, and rendering issues that are specific to how ecommerce platforms generate URLs.

Platform-specific guides #

Migrations and risk moments #

Where most ecommerce SEO damage actually happens, usually avoidably.

Strategy, pricing, and measurement #

What you get

Category and product page strategy

Structuring and writing the pages that carry most of an ecommerce site’s organic traffic, category pages and product pages, so they rank for what buyers actually search instead of competing with each other.

Technical SEO for scale

Faceted navigation, duplicate content across variants and filters, and JavaScript rendering issues, the technical problems that are specific to ecommerce and that most generalist SEO misses.

Migration and platform-move protection

A full redirect map and technical checklist for migrations, replatforming, or a redesign, so years of rankings and backlinks don’t vanish overnight.

Platform-specific fixes

Whether you’re on Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, or something custom, the fixes are tailored to how that platform actually handles URLs, canonicals, and indexing.

Reporting tied to revenue

GA4-backed reporting so you can see traffic and revenue move, not just rank tracking that doesn’t tell you whether any of it converted.

FAQ

Questions people ask before we start

Which ecommerce platforms do you work with?

Shopify, Magento, and WooCommerce most often, but the principles apply to any platform, the fixes are just implemented differently depending on how it handles URLs and templates. See the dedicated Shopify SEO consultant or Magento SEO consultant pages if that’s your platform.

How is ecommerce SEO different from general SEO?

It lives or dies on category structure, faceted navigation, and product data at scale, problems a blog-focused SEO strategy usually doesn’t touch. Read more on why category pages matter most and how faceted navigation quietly causes duplicate content.

How much does ecommerce SEO cost?

Expect to invest at least £1,000 a month for work that actually moves the needle, covering technical fixes, category and product page optimisation, and content. I’ve written a full breakdown of real UK ecommerce SEO pricing if you want the detail before we talk.

Can you help with a platform migration?

Yes. Migrations are one of the highest-risk moments for ecommerce SEO. I handle redirects, structure, and technical setup so rankings don’t tank in the process. See how not to lose everything overnight for what that actually involves.

Should I hire an agency or a freelancer?

Depends on your size and how hands-on you want the work to be. I’ve written an honest agency vs. freelancer breakdown that covers the trade-offs either way, no hard sell either direction.

How do you measure whether it's working?

Traffic on its own doesn’t pay the bills, so I report on revenue-linked metrics in GA4, not just rankings. More on how to measure ecommerce SEO ROI properly.
