SEO Consultant for E-commerce

Category and product rankings are the highest-converting organic traffic in retail. I win them, and I fix the technical issues quietly capping your revenue.

E-commerce SEO is won on two fronts: ranking your category and product pages for commercial searches, and fixing the technical problems that large stores accumulate. Faceted navigation, thin product pages, duplicate content, crawl budget waste and broken structured data all quietly cost you rankings. I find and fix them, then build the category authority that captures 'best X' and buying-intent searches.

With ten years of SEO experience across some of the UK's hardest verticals, I know how to grow organic revenue without depending on paid or on marketplace fees. My focus is rankings, organic traffic and revenue: getting your own store to the top of the results for the terms that convert. Product and review structured data also feeds Google Shopping and, increasingly, AI shopping answers, so that visibility comes as a bonus.

Why e-commerce brands need an SEO consultant

'Best' and category searches are the highest-intent terms in retail, and they are dominated by big retailers and affiliate listicles unless you build real category authority.

Amazon and marketplace listings outrank your own store for your own products, so you pay fees on sales you should capture directly.

Large stores accumulate technical debt: faceted navigation, duplicate content, crawl waste and broken schema that silently suppress rankings.

Product feeds and review schema are table stakes for Shopping and organic visibility, and most stores have them broken or missing.

What I focus on for e-commerce SEO

Growing organic revenue for a store means fixing technical debt and building commercial ranking power:

  • Category and product keyword strategy targeting transactional, buying-intent searches
  • Technical SEO at scale: faceted navigation, crawl budget, duplicate content and indexation control
  • Product, offer and review schema that Google and Google Shopping can extract
  • Category page architecture and internal linking tuned for commercial intent
  • 'Best X' and buying-guide content that ranks and earns links against affiliate listicles
  • Reviews on Trustpilot, Feefo and Google that reinforce trust and, increasingly, AI shopping answers

How I do e-commerce SEO

Step 01

Technical audit and cleanup

I find and fix the faceted navigation, duplicate content, crawl waste and broken structured data that suppress rankings across large catalogues, so Google can index and rank the pages that matter.

Step 02

Own the commercial searches

I build the category authority, page architecture and buying-guide content that win 'best X' and transactional searches, the terms that actually convert into revenue.

Step 03

Structured data that compounds

Complete product, offer and review schema strengthens organic and Shopping visibility, and increasingly feeds AI shopping answers, so one piece of work pays off across every surface.

FAQs

What does an SEO consultant for e-commerce do?

I grow your store's organic revenue by fixing technical debt at scale and winning category and product rankings for commercial searches. The measure is organic traffic and revenue to your own store, not vanity keywords.

We sell on Amazon too. Does that hurt our SEO?

It can. Without strong SEO on your own store, Google and buyers default to your marketplace listings and you pay the fees. I make your own store the ranking destination for your products so more sales come direct.

What platforms do you work with?

All of them, Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce or headless. Platform matters less than whether your technical foundations, product data and category architecture are right. That is where the rankings are won.

Does this help with AI shopping answers too?

Yes, as a bonus. The product and review structured data and category authority that win Google and Shopping rankings are the same signals AI shopping answers draw on. The primary goal is organic revenue.
