SEO for ecommerce

Ecommerce SEO is won mostly on category pages: searches like "women's leather bag" are close to buying and land on a category. Product pages and the blog support that structure.

What to measure

01

Organic sessions and organic revenue

SEO's contribution to sales.

02

Category page rankings

The pages that answer the most valuable searches.

03

Technical errors

A page that isn't indexed can't sell.

Week one

  1. 1

    Connect Search Console; list the searches where you show up but don't get clicks.

  2. 2

    Add a unique intro and an FAQ to your five best-selling category pages.

  3. 3

    Rewrite product descriptions away from the manufacturer's copy; add use, size and care details.

  4. 4

    Fix broken links, duplicate titles and slow pages from a technical crawl.

  5. 5

    Plan one buying guide and link it to its category.

Content ideas

  • "How to choose" buying guides.
  • A short FAQ on category pages.
  • Real-use photos and a size chart on product pages.
  • Seasonal category pages, such as a summer collection.

Common mistakes

  • Copying the manufacturer's description

    The same text is on hundreds of sites; Google won't pick yours.

  • Empty category pages

    A page with only a product grid stays weak on the most valuable searches.

  • Deleting sold-out product pages

    You lose rankings you earned; redirect to a similar product or keep the page.
