What I hear most
This is what ecommerce founders tell me when they first reach out.
Almost every discovery call I take with a DTC founder or ecommerce growth lead opens in the same place: frustration with where the money has gone. These are the four things I hear over and over. If any of them sound like a board meeting you've sat in, we're already speaking the same language.
"Our paid spend keeps climbing and our margin keeps shrinking. We need organic to start pulling its weight before next quarter."
What I hear from DTC founders
"The last agency sent us rankings reports every month, but our Shopify dashboard never moved. I'm done paying for traffic that doesn't convert."
What I hear from ecommerce marketing leads
"We're paying for a Shopify app stack, three SEO tools, and a content subscription. I still can't tell what's actually moving the needle."
What I hear from Shopify store owners
"I keep being told ecommerce SEO takes six to twelve months. I need to see something move before my CFO pulls the budget."
What I hear from heads of growth
The diagnosis
Why most ecommerce SEO underperforms.
After seven years working with DTC and ecommerce brands, the same five problems show up in almost every audit I run. None of them are technical. All of them cost revenue.
-
Category pages treated as an afterthought
Category pages are the single biggest organic revenue driver for most ecommerce stores. Yet most stores leave them with thin content, weak internal linking, and zero strategic optimisation. That's where the biggest gap usually sits.
-
Product page SEO ignored at scale
A 500 product store has 500 chances to capture buying intent. Templated product pages with no unique optimisation, no schema, and no review integration leave most of that revenue on the table.
-
Chasing head terms instead of buying intent
"Mens running shoes" gets 90,000 searches a month and barely converts. The buyer ready to spend is searching "best wide fit running shoes for flat feet under 100." Long tail is where ecommerce revenue actually lives.
-
Technical SEO that ignores ecommerce reality
Faceted navigation, duplicate content from product variants, indexation bloat, redirect chains, and Core Web Vitals on heavy product pages. These are ecommerce specific problems most generalist agencies don't even diagnose properly.
-
No content layer above the product
Buyers don't go straight to your product page. They search "how to choose X," "best Y for Z," "X versus Y." Without buying guides and comparison content, you're invisible at the exact moment buyers make decisions.
My approach
What I do differently.
My ecommerce SEO methodology isn't built on tactics. It starts with finding your unique value proposition: the contextual edge that makes search work as a revenue channel, not a marketing line item.
01 · POSITIONING
Find the unique value proposition first.
Before keywords or audits, I figure out what makes your store genuinely different. Not your product (everyone sells similar ones). Your audience focus, your brand voice, your service edge, your category specialism. Then I build the SEO architecture around that. Without this step, you're competing on price with every other store selling the same SKUs.
02 · INTEGRATION
SEO connected to the business, not the marketing team.
Search lives next to paid spend, CAC, AOV, repeat purchase rate, and inventory. I map organic visibility to revenue, margin, and lifetime value, so SEO decisions stop being a marketing only conversation and start showing up in the P&L.
03 · ENTITIES
Build category and brand authority, not keyword lists.
Modern search ranks topical authority, not isolated phrases. I identify the entities that matter to your buyers: product categories, brand attributes, use cases, problems your product solves. Then I build content clusters that own them end to end.
04 · LIFECYCLE
Capture the full buying journey, not just the bottom of the funnel.
Research → comparison → discovery → purchase → retention. Every stage has search demand attached to it. The brands I work with own that full cycle, which is why their organic revenue compounds instead of plateauing.

Scope of work
What an engagement actually covers.
Every project is scoped to your business model and platform, but the building blocks usually include:
→
Category page architecture and internal linking
The single biggest organic revenue driver for most stores. Content briefs, faceted nav strategy, and pillar to product internal linking that builds topical authority where it pays.
→
Product page optimisation at scale
Templates that work across hundreds or thousands of SKUs without producing duplicate thin content. Schema, review integration, USPs, and intent led copywriting.
→
Technical SEO for ecommerce platforms
Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, custom builds. Faceted navigation, duplicate content from variants, indexation bloat, redirect strategy, and Core Web Vitals at scale.
→
Buying guides and comparison content
The content layer that captures buyers before they search for your product directly. Built around real questions from Reddit, reviews, and search intent data. Not generic blog filler.
→
Schema and structured data
Product, Review, FAQ, Breadcrumb, Organisation. Done properly so you show up in rich results, AI overviews, and the spots where buyers make decisions.
→
International SEO for UK and EU brands
Hreflang, currency, localisation, and country specific search behaviour. For UK brands selling into Europe without losing search visibility in the process.
→
Reporting tied to revenue and CAC
Dashboards built around organic revenue, AOV, conversion rate, and assisted conversions. Not impressions, not vanity rankings.
→
SEO and paid media alignment
Organic and paid working together so each makes the other cheaper. Reduce paid spend on terms you already own organically, and use paid data to inform organic priorities.
Niche expertise
Niche store? Even better.
My best results come from ecommerce brands with a sharp focus, not the generalists trying to be everything to everyone. If you sell to a specialised audience, operate in a regulated category, or compete in a vertical the bigger agencies don't understand, that's where I add the most value. The positioning and entity work matters more, not less, when your audience is narrow.
