What ecommerce SEO covers

Stores win search on category pages: that is where shoppers who know what they want but not which product land. Product pages win the long tail. The work is mostly structure, not blog posts.

Category structure

Categories named and nested the way people search, one page per intent, no two pages fighting for the same query.

Templates, not page by page

Title, H1, intro and canonical rules written once into the theme, so 2,000 pages improve together.

Faceted navigation

A written rule for every filter: indexable page, canonical, noindex or a plain button. See the funnel below.

Structured data

Product with offers, availability and shipping on product pages; BreadcrumbList everywhere; checked in Search Console.

Internal links

Breadcrumbs, subcategory links and buying guides that pass weight to the categories that sell.

Feeds and markets

Merchant Center free listings from a clean product feed, and hreflang for each country you sell to.

Faceted navigation: from millions of URLs to the few that earn traffic

Every filter combination can become a URL. Most are near-duplicates that waste Google's crawl and split your ranking signals. Tick the filters people actually search for and watch each rule narrow the funnel.

Filters, and whether shoppers search for them

Plus 4 sort orders and 3 page sizes on every category. example store

  1. Every crawlable combination27,993,600

    All filters, sort orders and page sizes as links. This is what a default theme exposes.

  2. Sort and page size removed2,332,800

    Rule: sort and view parameters never get crawlable links, and their canonical points to the unsorted page.

  3. At most two filters at once30,120

    Rule: three or more filters become buttons, not links, and their URL patterns are disallowed in robots.txt.

  4. Indexable pages1,120

    Rule: only colour, material, brand get their own indexable page, with a unique title, H1, intro and self-canonical. Everything else: noindex or no link.

Questions about ecommerce SEO

How long does ecommerce SEO take?

Technical fixes such as titles, canonicals and filter rules usually show in Search Console within four to eight weeks, once Google recrawls the pages. Category content and internal links build over three to six months, and competitive categories take longer. Your monthly report shows clicks and positions per category, not vanity totals.

What is faceted navigation and why does it hurt?

Faceted navigation is the filter panel for colour, size, price and brand. Each combination can create its own URL, so one category turns into thousands of near-duplicate pages. Google spends its crawl on those instead of your products, and ranking signals get split. The fix is deciding which filters deserve indexing.

Do you do SEO for Shopify and Magento?

Yes, and for WooCommerce and OpenCart too. Each platform has its quirks: Shopify's fixed URL folders and duplicate product paths inside collections, Magento's layered navigation and URL rewrites, WooCommerce's attribute archives. I work within those limits, change theme templates where needed, and explain every change in plain language.

When ecommerce SEO is not the first job

Better to spend the first months where they pay back.

  • 01The store is slow or the checkout breaks on phones. Fix conversion first; more traffic into a leaking store wastes it.
  • 02You plan to change platform within six months. Plan the migration with SEO built in, then grow.
  • 03You need sales next month. SEO compounds slowly; Shopping ads can carry the gap while it builds.
