Who this is for

Shopify, WooCommerce or custom-built stores where product pages aren't showing up for the searches that should convert. Worth knowing before you brief anyone: between 2009 and 2014 we ran our own online retail brands and sold on Amazon as well, with a top-seller certificate from a Christmas trading period. This is advice from someone who has carried the stock risk, not only the reporting.

Target keyword: "ecommerce seo manchester" — 320 searches/month, difficulty 6/100.

Frequently asked

Does platform matter. Shopify vs WooCommerce vs custom?

The principles are the same; the implementation differs. We'll tell you during the audit if your platform has a structural limitation worth knowing about before you invest in content.

How do you handle thousands of product pages?

Template-level fixes at the category/product-type level instead of page-by-page, backed by a prioritised list of which pages have search demand worth optimising individually.

Can SEO work alongside our existing PPC?

Yes. They should reinforce each other. PPC data on what converts often points straight at which organic keywords are worth the SEO investment.

What's the biggest ecommerce SEO mistake you see?

Duplicate content from filters and variants. A "blue size-M t-shirt" URL and a "size-M blue t-shirt" URL both indexing separately, splitting ranking signal that should be on one page.

Should out-of-stock products stay live?

Usually yes, with clear "out of stock" messaging and a restock date if you have one. Deleting the page throws away any ranking and backlinks it had built up.

Do product reviews help SEO?

Yes, both directly (review schema can show star ratings in search results) and indirectly (fresh, unique content on a page that would otherwise be identical to every competitor's listing of the same product).

How does a shopping feed relate to SEO?

They're different systems (feed powers paid Shopping ads, SEO is organic), but a clean, well-structured feed and clean structured data on the page often share the same underlying product data. Fixing one tends to help set up the other properly.

Can you improve rankings without touching our design?

Most ecommerce SEO work is structural and content-level: templates, metadata, internal linking, and doesn't require a redesign. We'll say clearly if something does need a design change.

Does site search on my store affect SEO?

Indirectly. If internal search result pages get indexed by Google, they often create thin or duplicate content. Blocking those specific URL patterns in robots.txt is a common, simple fix.

Should every product have unique description text?

Yes. Manufacturer-supplied descriptions copied verbatim across dozens of retailer sites are a classic duplicate-content problem. Even a rewritten paragraph per product materially helps.

Or learn to do this yourself

Everything on this page is teachable. A full day in a class of three or four is £499, or £999 with the work implemented on your own site while you watch. If you can give it an hour or two a day afterwards, that is usually the cheaper route.
