Honest fit check

Who needs ecommerce technical SEO?

Technical SEO removes blockers. Here's who benefits most, and who should look elsewhere first.

A great fit

Who it’s for

  • Good fit: Shopify and WooCommerce stores

    Theme, app and plugin settings are quietly creating duplicate or blocked URLs.

  • Good fit: Stores with thousands of URLs

    Large catalogues where filters, variants and pagination multiply crawlable pages.

  • Good fit: Organic traffic that has dropped

    You need to know if technical issues are part of the cause.

  • Good fit: Pages that won't index

    Products or categories sit in Search Console as excluded, duplicate or not indexed.

  • Good fit: Teams planning a migration

    A replatform, redesign or URL restructure is coming and the risk needs managing.

  • Good fit: Headless and JavaScript storefronts

    You want rendering, routing and structured data checked in the server response.

Probably not a fit

Who it’s not for

  • Not a fit: Stores that haven't launched

    With no URLs to crawl yet, build the store first and bring us in before launch.

  • Not a fit: Anyone expecting guaranteed rankings

    Technical SEO removes blockers. It can't guarantee positions or traffic.

  • Not a fit: Teams who can't change the site

    Fixes need developer time. If nothing can ship, an audit alone won't move results.

  • Not a fit: Purely content-led problems

    If pages are indexed but thin, the work is content and links, not technical SEO.

  • Not a fit: Anyone after a one-off score

    We prioritise by impact on your key pages, not by a tool's health score.

  • Not a fit: Businesses that don't sell online

    Our work is built around products, categories and carts.

Not sure which side you're on? We'll tell you honestly.

How we work

From audit to verified fixes

Four steps from first crawl to a re-check. Implementation support and ongoing monitoring are scoped separately.

  1. Step 1 of 4

    Audit

    We crawl, render and inspect your store's indexation.

    A crawl and indexation review across categories, products, filters and templates, using Search Console data and rendered HTML to see what search engines actually see.

    • Crawl categories, products, filters and templates
    • Compare raw HTML with the rendered page
    • Review Search Console indexation and coverage
    • Sample affected URLs for every issue

  2. Step 2 of 4

    Prioritize

    Issues ranked by impact on your key pages.

    Every finding is ranked by how many valuable URLs it touches, how severe it is and how hard it is to fix, so the biggest blockers go first.

    • Count the valuable URLs each issue touches
    • Rate severity and effort to fix
    • Flag dependencies between fixes
    • Order the list so blockers go first

  3. Step 3 of 4

    Fix

    Developer-ready tickets for crawl, canonical and render fixes.

    Each issue becomes a ticket with reproduction steps and acceptance criteria. Hands-on implementation support can be scoped separately.

    • One ticket per issue, with reproduction steps
    • Acceptance criteria your developers can test
    • Canonical, facet and redirect rules for your platform
    • Optional hands-on support, scoped separately

  4. Step 4 of 4

    Validate

    We re-check that the fixes worked.

    After release we re-crawl affected templates and compare against the ticket, then return anything unresolved to the register.

    • Re-crawl the affected templates
    • Check each fix against its ticket
    • Confirm in Search Console where possible
    • Return anything unresolved to the register

How we compare

Technical SEO FAQ

Ecommerce technical SEO questions

Straight answers, including what we won't promise.

Ask us something else

Crawlability and indexation, site architecture and internal linking, duplicate URLs and canonicalization, rendering and performance, structured data, and platform migrations. The scope for your store depends on its size, platform and symptoms.

Catalogues generate URLs through variants, filters, sorting and pagination, and products change status constantly. One template or app setting can affect thousands of pages, so the work focuses on templates, rules and product lifecycle handling.

We work out which filter combinations have search demand and which should stay user-only, then choose canonical, noindex, robots.txt, linking and sitemap handling for your platform. We don't block every parameter by default. Crawl budget matters most for very large or fast-changing catalogues.

We investigate why pages aren't indexed using Search Console, crawls and URL inspection, and recommend fixes. Some causes are technical, others involve duplication or quality. Search engines decide what to index, so outcomes aren't guaranteed.

Yes. We also work with BigCommerce, Magento, headless storefronts and custom platforms, and write recommendations for what each platform allows.

Yes. We check rendering mode, routing, status codes, canonicals, structured data and sitemaps in the initial server response, and how staging and preview environments stay out of the index.

We compare raw HTML with the rendered page and use live URL Inspection on sample templates to confirm content, links, canonicals and structured data survive rendering. The right fix depends on your stack.

Depending on the engagement: a crawl and indexation audit, a prioritized issue register, affected URL samples, implementation guidance, developer-ready tickets, canonical and URL recommendations, schema and rendering findings, and a migration risk checklist where relevant.

Yes: URL inventory, redirect mapping, directive and sitemap checks, staging safeguards and post-launch crawling. A structured process reduces avoidable technical risk, but it can't promise rankings or traffic stay unchanged.

It depends on catalogue size, template count, platform complexity and how quickly we get access to your data. We confirm a timeline when we scope the work.

The audit includes implementation guidance and developer-ready tickets for your team. Hands-on implementation support and ongoing monitoring are scoped separately, and agreed before any work starts.
