Ecommerce SEO
Ecommerce SEO Built to Drive More Sales
Getting more traffic to your online store is only useful if that traffic comes from people who are actually looking for what you sell.
At Lightbox Digital, we optimise ecommerce websites around the complete customer journey — from how products and categories appear in search to how customers navigate your store and complete a purchase.
Our ecommerce SEO services combine technical SEO, keyword research, product and category optimisation, content, internal linking and conversion-focused improvements to create a stronger organic growth strategy.
We have experience working with WordPress and WooCommerce, allowing our SEO and development teams to work together when optimisation requires technical changes.
What Does Ecommerce SEO Include?
Keyword Research
Identify the products, categories and topics your potential customers are searching for.
Product Page SEO
Optimise product titles, descriptions, headings, images and supporting content around relevant search intent.
Category Page SEO
Build stronger category and collection pages that can target broader commercial searches.
Technical SEO
Address crawlability, indexation, duplicate URLs, structured data and other ecommerce-specific technical issues.
Internal Linking
Connect products, categories, collections and supporting content to create a stronger website structure.
Content Strategy
Create useful content that supports product discovery and captures relevant informational searches.
Structured Data
Implement relevant ecommerce schema to help search engines understand products and other eligible content.
Conversion Optimisation
Improve the experience once users arrive so more organic visitors have the opportunity to become customers.
Ecommerce Keyword Research
Target Searches With Buying Intent
Ecommerce SEO starts with understanding what people search for before, during and after they decide to buy.
We identify:
Product Searches
Searches for specific products, brands, models or product types.
Category Searches
Broader searches from people comparing different products or solutions.
Commercial Investigation
Searches from people researching options before making a purchase.
Informational Searches
Questions and topics customers search before becoming ready to buy.
Long-Tail Searches
More specific searches that often reveal clearer intent and can attract highly relevant traffic.
We then map those search opportunities to the pages best suited to rank for them instead of trying to make one product or category page rank for everything.
Product Page SEO
Turn Product Pages Into Search Assets
Your product pages are some of the most commercially valuable pages on your website. They need to be useful to customers while clearly communicating what the product is to search engines.
We optimise:
Product Titles
Clear, descriptive product titles aligned with the way customers search.
Product Descriptions
Useful, original descriptions that explain the product rather than relying solely on manufacturer copy.
Product Attributes
Structure important information such as size, colour, material, specifications and other relevant attributes.
Images
Optimise image file names, alt text, dimensions and supporting context.
Internal Links
Connect products to relevant categories, related products and supporting content.
Product Structured Data
Implement relevant structured data to help search engines understand product information.
Category & Collection Page SEO
Build Stronger Ecommerce Category Pages
Category pages can target valuable commercial searches that individual product pages may not be able to cover effectively.
We optimise category pages around their purpose in the customer journey and their potential search demand.
This can include:
- Category titles
- Category descriptions
- H1s and headings
- Supporting content
- Internal links
- Breadcrumbs
- Product filters
- URL structure
- Canonicalisation
- Structured data
- Indexation
Where appropriate, we can also identify opportunities to create new product categories or landing pages based on genuine search demand.
Technical SEO for Ecommerce
Fix the Technical Problems That Hold Online Stores Back
Ecommerce websites can generate thousands of URLs through products, categories, filters, variations, sorting options and internal searches. Without a clear technical strategy, search engines can waste time crawling pages that provide little search value.
We can review:
- Product indexation
- Category indexation
- Faceted navigation
- Filter URLs
- Search URLs
- Product variations
- Duplicate content
- Canonical tags
- Redirects
- XML sitemaps
- Crawlability
- Orphan products
- Pagination
- Out-of-stock products
- Structured data
- Site architecture
