SEO for an eCommerce does not start with keywords, it starts with a store that loads fast, makes sense and can be crawled. Without those foundations, content only performs at half throttle.

Speed: your first ranking factor

Every extra second of load time costs sales and positions. Optimise images, reduce third-party scripts and measure with real user data, not just in the lab.

Architecture Google understands

  • Clean, consistent URLs.
  • Categories with a logical hierarchy.
  • Internal linking that connects what matters.

The invisible technical layer

An up-to-date sitemap.xml, product structured data and proper handling of out-of-stock products stop you losing traffic without realising.

The best content does not rank if Google cannot crawl it properly.
