Technical SEO recommendations for ecommerce stores


Clean Up Website Architecture

Optimising your website structure is crucial for ecommerce SEO success and hence, this is the first step we complete as part of technical SEO for ecommerce, especially for clients with large inventories.

Maximise Your Site Speed

User attention spans are short; the choice of faster, competing sites is not.

Improving and optimising your website for load speed will reduce bounce rates, increase time on site and win you more sales.

Aggressively Optimise Your Crawl Profile

The crawl budget Google grants your site is limited and precious.

We'll ensure crawlers focus their attention on those pages which form part of your potential customers' buying journeys.

Content optimisations for ecommerce businesses


This includes optimising pages on your site for relevant highly searched keywords whilst removing technical barriers and improving user experience.

Page Optimisation

This includes optimising pages on your site for relevant highly searched keywords whilst removing technical barriers and improving user experience.

Category Optimisation

As an ecommerce SEO agency, we ensure these pages are focused on the top and mid-funnel search terms your potential clients are researching prior to settling on a specific product.

Product Optimisation

We'll want to ensure there is as much relevant content in product descriptions, meta titles, descriptions, and headers as possible, for search engines to crawl and your users to read. If there are lots of different products, we'll also work with you to reduce cannibalisation from duplicate content.

Blog Optimisation

Whilst content is king, churning out lots of blog posts can be a poisoned chalice. Ensure you are writing quality content which targets informational keywords and can explain your products in further detail. Internal links and strong calls to action will drive them to relevant revenue-generating pages.
