Your store is losing revenue to competitors who rank where you don’t
You already know organic matters. What brought you here is usually one of these:
Why prior SEO investments failed to move catalog revenue
If you’ve worked with an SEO agency before and it didn’t move revenue, we hear that constantly. The pattern is almost always the same: monthly ranking reports, blog posts that drove informational traffic, and a lead-generation framework applied to a product catalog. Rankings moved. Revenue didn’t.
That’s a methodology problem, not an SEO problem. A store needs a different approach — and that’s the only kind of SEO we do.
Solve Your Growth Blockers NowWhy ecommerce SEO is structurally different from general SEO
Ecommerce SEO differs from general SEO in five ways that decide whether your investment grows revenue or just traffic.
| Ecommerce SEO (what we do) | General SEO | |
|---|---|---|
| Page hierarchy | Category pages are the primary commercial ranking asset; product pages are the conversion endpoint | Blog posts drive traffic; landing pages convert |
| Technical core | Crawl-budget management across thousands of URLs, faceted navigation, variant canonicalization, pagination depth | Site speed, mobile UX, basic crawl health |
| Structured data | Product, Offer, AggregateRating, Review, BreadcrumbList, ItemList | Article, Organization, FAQ |
| Content model | Buying guides, category editorial, comparison content, product copy — all linked to commercial pages | Blog posts, pillar pages, resource content |
| Success metric | Organic revenue, organic transactions, organic conversion rate | Leads, sessions, rankings |
A general agency adapts processes built for content sites to your store. We build every workflow — from crawl analysis to content calendars — around the reality of a product catalog. The results are different because the problems are different. If you want the full primer first, read our guide to what ecommerce SEO is.
Visualizing Crawl Budget Optimization
See how Googlebot interacts with your product catalog. Switch setups to view the difference in indexation efficiency.
12,000+ duplicate variations crawled, wasting budget.
Redirect loops and 404s absorbing crawl priority.
High traffic, but zero commercial intent or transactions.
Ecommerce SEO results — revenue, not just rankings
We measure success in revenue and transactions. Here is the situation, what we diagnosed, what we changed, and the outcome.
DTC apparel brand — 187% organic revenue growth in 11 months
The brand came to us after 18 months with a generalist agency that grew blog traffic 40% without moving ecommerce revenue. We found 12,000 filtered-navigation URLs absorbing crawl budget and splitting authority away from 340 high-value category pages. We reset crawl priority toward those categories, rebuilt their content around commercial-intent terms, and deployed Product and AggregateRating schema across the top 2,000 SKUs.
B2B industrial supplier — $340K net-new organic revenue, months 6–12
The distributor had 22,000 products indexed but only 6,100 crawled regularly. Magento’s default layered navigation had generated over 180,000 filterable URLs eating crawl budget. We consolidated canonicals at the filter level, segmented XML sitemaps by category, and built content for the long-tail specification queries trade buyers actually search — torque ratings, material grades, compliance standards.
Home goods retailer — migration with zero organic revenue loss
The brand had to leave Magento 1 before end-of-life. We ran a pre-migration crawl audit, built a 1:1 redirect map for every indexed URL, validated canonicals on Shopify Plus post-launch, and monitored crawl behavior daily for 30 days after go-live.
Supplements brand — store and Amazon growing together
The store and the Amazon listings competed instead of compounding. We aligned the keyword targets across both, fixed product schema on the store, and rewrote the Amazon titles, attributes, and backend terms using Amazon’s own ranking system. Organic store revenue and Amazon organic sales both grew quarter over quarter, and the store reached the top three for its two highest-value category terms.
What our ecommerce SEO service includes
Every deliverable below is built for stores with product catalogs — not adapted from a lead-generation playbook.
Technical SEO for large product catalogs
The question is whether Googlebot spends its budget on your product and category pages or on filtered URLs that should never be indexed. We manage crawl-budget allocation (sitemap segmentation, crawl-directive tuning), faceted-navigation handling (canonicals, parameter config, robots directives), product-variant canonicalization, discontinued-SKU handling (301s, similar-product linking), and Core Web Vitals — targeting LCP, INP, and CLS at the platform level.
Category page SEO — your highest-value commercial asset
Category pages, not product pages, win the high-volume commercial queries that drive the most revenue — terms like “men’s running shoes” or “industrial ball bearings.” We map categories to commercial head terms, write editorial that builds topic authority, link from subcategories and products, and add ItemList structured data. Most stores treat category pages as navigation filler; we treat them as the pages that generate the most organic revenue.
Product page SEO
Product pages convert, so we optimize them to rank and to sell: unique descriptions at scale instead of manufacturer copy, Product and Offer schema for rich results, AggregateRating tied to genuine reviews, and image alt text across the catalog. We also structure reviews and Q&A as indexable, schema-marked content that builds product-level E-E-A-T and captures long-tail queries.
Content beyond the blog
Blog posts have a role, but they’re not the center of store content. We build buying guides that capture upper-funnel demand, comparison content (“best [product] for [use case]”) that intercepts shoppers before they pick a brand, category editorial that ranks for commercial terms, and seasonal content planned 8–12 weeks ahead of demand peaks. Every piece maps to one page so it supports your catalog instead of competing with it.
Marketplace SEO — Amazon, Etsy, and Walmart
Most of our clients sell on a store and a marketplace at once, so we optimize both. We work Amazon, Etsy, and Walmart listings — titles, attributes, backend keywords, and A+ content — using each marketplace’s own ranking system rather than Google tactics borrowed in. We treat this as a core service, not an add-on, and align it with your store SEO so the channels compound. See our Amazon SEO services.
Link building and digital PR
We build editorial links to your category pages, not just your homepage — product PR placements, gift-guide features, and data-driven stories that earn coverage from publications your customers read. We don’t touch private blog networks, paid link networks, or automated niche edits. Every link points to a page that drives revenue.
Revenue-tied reporting
Every monthly report shows organic revenue (GA4, segmented by channel), organic transactions and conversion rate, commercial-term ranking movement, crawl health (indexed-to-submitted ratio), and AI visibility rate. This is what your CFO sees — revenue, transactions, and the work that produced them, not a ranking chart.
We work inside your platform, not around it
Every platform has SEO constraints generalists don’t know exist. We’ve solved them repeatedly.
- Shopify & Shopify Plus — Shopify’s canonical structure creates duplicate crawl paths between /products/ and /collections/[name]/products/ URLs, wasting crawl budget and diluting internal link equity at scale. We resolve this on every Shopify engagement. Shopify SEO services →
- Magento / Adobe Commerce — layered navigation generates thousands of indexable filtered URLs by default, fragmenting category authority. We configure filter-level canonicals and manage parameters to consolidate signals. Magento SEO services →
- WooCommerce — plugin-driven architecture creates page-speed and render risks. Our audit assesses the full plugin stack, not just on-page content. WooCommerce SEO services →
- BigCommerce — products assigned to multiple categories each generate a unique URL with identical content; canonical consolidation and URL hierarchy planning are required.
- Headless / composable — client-side-rendered storefronts (Hydrogen, Next.js Commerce, custom builds) risk indexation failure if structured data and meta elements aren’t server-side rendered. We audit rendering before any optimization begins.
- Wix, Squarespace, Webflow — Smaller stores on these platforms get the same rigor, with platform-specific workarounds for SEO limitations.
What changes at 100 SKUs vs. 100,000 SKUs
Catalog size changes the work. A 100-SKU store and a 100,000-SKU store are different engagements, not the same engagement at a different price.
| 100 SKUs | 1,000 SKUs | 10,000 SKUs | 100,000 SKUs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typical revenue | $50K–$500K/mo | $500K–$5M/mo | $5M–$25M/mo | $25M+/mo |
| Primary technical focus | Schema, on-page, internal linking | Faceted nav, canonical patterns, Core Web Vitals | Crawl budget, template optimization, indexation rate | Programmatic SEO, template architecture, faceted nav at scale |
| Content per month | 4–8 pieces | 8–16 pieces | 16–40 pieces | 40+ pieces, often programmatic |
| Links per month | 5–10 | 10–20 | 20–40 | 40+, digital PR at scale |
At 100 SKUs we can manually optimize every product page. At 100,000 we build programmatic templates and prioritize indexation rate over per-page work. The work scales with the catalog, not the invoice.
How we prove the work drove revenue — not just traffic
Most agencies report traffic and rankings because they’re easy. We report revenue because that’s the number your CFO cares about.
First-party GA4 data.
Every report starts from your own GA4, not a third-party tool’s estimate.
Branded vs. non-branded split.
We separate revenue from people already searching your name (which would happen anyway) from revenue from people discovering you — which is what SEO actually drives.
Multi-touch attribution.
We use GA4 data-driven attribution, so a customer who discovered you via organic but converted via email still credits organic correctly.
Incrementality check at month nine.
We run a holdout-style analysis against your prior trajectory, category trends, and competitor movement. If our work didn’t beat that counterfactual, we say so — and recommend you stop spending with us rather than keep paying for traffic that doesn’t convert.
AI citation tracking.
We measure brand mention rate and AI referral traffic from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini against your top commercial queries, monthly.

How much does ecommerce SEO cost?
Ecommerce SEO with us starts at $2,500 per month, and price moves with catalog size, platform complexity, category competition, and whether you add marketplace work.
| Plan | Monthly | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | $2,500 | Stores doing $50K–$500K/mo |
| Growth | $5,000 | Stores doing $500K–$5M/mo |
| Scale | $9,000+ | $5M+/mo, large catalogs, or store + marketplace |
How long does ecommerce SEO take to drive revenue?
Honest answer: it depends on where you start. Here’s a realistic curve, not a best case.
Month 1
— Technical fixes shipped, indexation issues resolved. No revenue impact yet.
Month 3
— First non-branded impression lift in Search Console. Authority building. No inflection yet.
Month 6
— First measurable organic transaction lift in moderately competitive categories. Highly competitive categories (fashion, supplements, beauty against major brands) usually see this at month 9.
Month 9
— Organic becomes a meaningful channel. AI search mentions begin appearing.
Month 12
— Organic is a stable, compounding channel.
Who we work with — and who we’re honestly not for
A fit if you:
run an established store doing roughly $50K+/mo; want organic measured in revenue, on a store, a marketplace, or both; and have, or will give us, developer support to ship fixes.
Not a fit if you:
are pre-launch with no traffic; need revenue movement in under 60 days (use paid search — we’ll tell you that directly); want guaranteed number-one rankings; or have a budget under $1,000/mo, where catalog SEO can’t do meaningful work.
What happens in your first 90 days
Week 1
— Discovery call and audit launch. We map your platform, catalog, organic baseline, and revenue targets, and name your senior strategist.
Weeks 2–3
— Full technical audit delivered: crawl-budget findings, faceted-nav issues, canonical errors, schema gaps — prioritized by revenue impact, with implementation instructions.
Week 4
— Commercial keyword mapping across your top 20–50 category pages, content audit, and internal-linking plan.
Month 2
— Implementation sprint: priority fixes live, first category content deployed, product-schema rollout, link outreach begins.
Month 3
— First revenue report: organic revenue baseline vs. current, transactions, ranking movement, crawl health, AI visibility baseline.
How to choose an ecommerce SEO company
Use these eight checks when you compare any ecommerce SEO company, including us.
Ecommerce case studies with revenue metrics — organic revenue outcomes, not traffic percentages or ranking counts.
Named platform expertise with technical specifics — ask them to explain Shopify’s canonical duplication or Magento’s layered navigation.
Catalog-scale technical methodology — how they manage crawl budget for 5,000+ SKUs and handle faceted navigation.
Revenue-tied reporting — every monthly report shows organic revenue and transactions; ask to see a sample.
A defined first-90-day plan — if week one is “it depends,” there’s no methodology.
AI search visibility as standard scope — part of the engagement, not an upsell.
Named team structure — who is your strategist, and will they still be on your account in month six?
Reasonable contract terms — month-to-month or 90-day. Confident agencies don’t need 12-month lock-ins.
Show up in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews
AI search now drives a measurable share of ecommerce discovery. We optimize for AI citation as part of the standard engagement — complete Product schema, entity-clear category and product content, structured comparison and FAQ blocks, and off-site brand authority — and we track AI visibility rate (the share of your target queries where your brand appears in AI answers) as a monthly KPI. Honest limit: AI visibility leans heavily on off-site signals like reviews and brand mentions, not on-page work alone, so we build both.
Frequently asked questions
How much does ecommerce SEO cost?
With us it starts at $2,500 per month and rises with catalog size, platform complexity, category competition, and any marketplace work. Mid-market stores typically invest $2,500–$9,000+/mo. We bill monthly with no 12-month lock-in and scope after a free audit.
How long does ecommerce SEO take to drive revenue?
Technical fixes that improve crawl coverage show movement in 30–60 days. Category ranking improvement usually begins at months three to four. Compound organic revenue growth — where SEO becomes a reliable channel — builds over six to twelve months, depending on your starting authority and category.
How is ecommerce SEO different from regular SEO?
Ecommerce SEO manages crawl budget, faceted navigation, variant canonicalization, product schema, and category-page authority across thousands of SKUs — work general SEO rarely touches. The metrics differ too: we report attributed organic revenue and transactions, not just rankings and sessions.
Do you handle Amazon and Etsy alongside my store?
Yes. Marketplace SEO is a core service, not an add-on. We optimize Amazon, Etsy, and Walmart listings using each marketplace’s own ranking system and align that work with your store SEO so the channels compound instead of competing.
We hired an SEO agency before and it didn’t move revenue. How is this different?
The common failure is a generalist applying lead-generation SEO to a product catalog — ranking reports without revenue attribution, blog traffic without commercial intent. We measure organic revenue and transactions, and at month nine we run an incrementality check; if the work hasn’t beaten the counterfactual, we tell you.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. Engagements run month-to-month after a 90-day onboarding period — enough to complete the audit, ship priority fixes, and show first results. All work transfers to you on exit, with no early-termination fees. Full inclusions are on our packages page.
