E-commerce SEO Services — Built for Catalog Scale, AI Search, and Real Revenue
Most e-commerce SEO programs optimize blog posts. We optimize the catalog — product pages, category pages, programmatic variations, structured data, faceted nav, AI-search commerce surfaces, and the technical foundation that decides whether Google sees any of it. Built for DTC brands doing $1M–$50M+ that need organic as a real revenue channel, not a vanity metric.

Four Shifts That Rewrote the Playbook
Four shifts have rewritten e-commerce SEO over the last 18 months. If your SEO partner isn't engineering for these, the work is leaving money on the table.
AI search commerce is a real channel now
ChatGPT shopping, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Copilot, Gemini. Buyers ask "best hiking pack under $200" and get specific products back. If yours aren't structured for AI citation — right schema, comparison content, authority signals — you're invisible to this channel. It's the present, and it's growing faster than traditional organic.
Programmatic SEO is the highest-leverage move
Hundreds or thousands of comparable products — by color, size, use case, audience, geography. Done right, programmatic produces tens of thousands of ranked pages without thin-content risk. Done wrong, a penalty that takes a year to recover. Most agencies have no idea how to do this safely.
Brand authority matters more than ever
Helpful-content updates deprioritized generic product descriptions in favor of brand-led content with real expertise, sourcing, and outcomes. A 1,000-product catalog with thin descriptions loses to a 100-product catalog with strong authority content. Every month.
Catalog technical health decides everything
Faceted nav, product schema, canonicals, pagination, internal linking, crawl budget, mobile speed, JS rendering, image optimization, structured-data validation. If the foundation is broken, no content or links move the needle. Most sites have at least three major technical issues the last agency never touched.
If your current e-commerce SEO is blog posts and link building, it's not engineering for 2026. We build programs that engineer for all four shifts simultaneously.
Five Capabilities
Each can be a standalone project or part of a full program.
Catalog & product page SEO
Product title and description optimization at scale, structured data (Product, Offer, Review, AggregateRating, BreadcrumbList, FAQ), image optimization, catalog-wide internal linking, variant-page handling, and review integration (Yotpo, Loox, Judge.me, Stamped). Every optimization gets pushed through your CMS in a way your team can review.
Category page & collection architecture
Most category pages are an afterthought. We treat them as the highest-leverage pages on the site — category content that ranks for commercial-intent queries, internal-link hubs that distribute authority, faceted-nav handling that avoids duplicate-content chaos, and URL architecture that supports both SEO and conversion.
Programmatic SEO at catalog scale
Template-driven page generation for thousands of legitimate variations: by use case, by audience, by comparison ([competitor] alternatives), by geography. Built with proper data layers, quality controls, and thin-content prevention. We can show you exactly how we did it for past engagements.
AI-search commerce optimization
Schema that makes products citable by ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, and Gemini. Comparison content structured for AI citation. Review velocity and depth that AI tools weight. Original research that AI tools cite as sources. We measure AI-search citations as a first-class KPI, not a sidebar.
Technical SEO for e-commerce
Mobile speed, Core Web Vitals, JS rendering (Next.js, Nuxt, Hydrogen, headless), faceted-nav canonicalization, paginated-series handling, crawl-budget optimization at scale, structured-data validation, and image optimization — the unglamorous fixes that decide whether Google sees your catalog at all.
Platform-Specific Expertise
Shopify
Best-in-class for small-to-mid DTC. We know the constraints (locked URLs, platform-controlled robots.txt, Liquid limits) and how to work within them with apps, metafields, and custom Liquid — and when Shopify Plus or Hydrogen is warranted.
WooCommerce
Maximum flexibility and complexity. For brands needing full control — custom post types, advanced faceted search, headless (Next.js / Astro + Woo). We handle the technical SEO that comes with its plugin-driven architecture.
BigCommerce
Strong mid-market option with better out-of-the-box SEO than Shopify for some use cases. We work with Stencil themes, custom templates, and the API layer for programmatic SEO.
Headless (Next.js, Astro, Hydrogen)
For brands that have outgrown templates. Full control over URLs, rendering, performance, and structured data — at the cost of engineering investment. We design SEO architectures with your team without creating maintenance debt.
Magento / Adobe Commerce
Enterprise-grade and complex, often multi-store and multi-region. We work with Magento teams on the catalog-scale SEO challenges this platform presents.
Other Platforms
Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Centra, Shopware, custom platforms — we adapt to your stack. If your platform isn't here, ask on the call.
SEO Doesn't Run in Isolation
E-commerce SEO works best coordinated with the rest of your growth stack. We integrate where it adds value and stay in our lane where it doesn't.
SEO + Amazon
Your organic and Amazon strategies need to be coordinated, not in conflict. We don't manage Amazon ads, but we align product-page content, keyword targets, and review strategies across both channels.
SEO + Paid Social
Paid social and organic should target complementary keyword and audience universes, not the same ones at different price points. We coordinate content, landing pages, and audience signals with your paid team.
SEO + Email & SMS
Owned-channel traffic signals engagement to Google. We work with your lifecycle team on which content and launches deserve an email push — and which can wait for organic discovery.
SEO + Influencer & Creator
Influencer content generates backlinks, brand searches, and category authority. We work on the SEO byproduct — which creators generate the highest-authority links and which formats earn AI-search citations.
AI-Search Commerce in Practice
A concrete look at what AI-search commerce optimization actually involves — because this is the shift most agencies are still figuring out.
What we do
- Audit your products for AI-citable structure — schema, comparison content, review depth, authority signals.
- Build comparison and "best of" content designed to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews.
- Engineer original research (category surveys, benchmarks, sourcing-transparency reports) that AI tools cite as primary sources.
- Track AI-search citations as a first-class KPI alongside traditional rankings.
- Coordinate with PR and content to place brand mentions in the publications AI tools read most.
What we won't do
- Stuff content with AI-targeted keywords.
- Build content for "ranking in ChatGPT" at the expense of human readers.
- Promise that any specific piece will be cited by any specific AI tool.
We engineer for AI search the way we engineer for Google — by building genuine authority that earns citation, not by gaming the channel.
