At LSEO, we employ SEO for all kinds of businesses, from those looking for leads and phone calls to those that sell their products directly online. Ecommerce SEO helps your online business to rank higher on search engines.
However, more important than simply ranking is becoming more visible to the very audiences you want to reach.
LSEO’s ecommerce SEO services focus on qualified product and category searches, with performance measured through organic traffic, conversions, and revenue where tracking is available. Here’s how it all works.
We said that the right kind of ecommerce SEO can help you reach the audiences who are looking for what you sell. This is one of the most important points here. We are not targeting everybody on the internet or even those people who already know the name of your business. We want to capture those who don’t know they need your company.
Start Ecommerce SEOOptimize for What You Sell
With our SEO for ecommerce, we optimize your website for what you sell. As part of your digital marketing strategy, we’ll do keyword research to find the money terms for your business. Our research will reveal the main key phrases, synonymous key phrases, and semantic keywords that people are already using to find you, or that we can capitalize on for you. Your main keywords are those terms people use to find products directly. One of these might be “men’s hats for sale.” A synonym phrase could be “men’s caps online.” Finally, a semantic keyword will be directed toward the same product type, but it will be worded differently. As long as the term refers to the same concept, we can target it for you. In this case, a semantic keyword phrase could be “formal black hats for men.” We know this query is seeking men’s hats, but it differs in how specific it is. Users who search this way know a bit more about what they want. We can use this information when optimizing your site with such keyword phrases.Optimize for Categories and Products
As an ecommerce business, you should know that categories and products are your ammunition for growing. Getting these right will separate you from your competition. Setting up your product categories and individual products in logical ways will help your online customers find what they want more easily and have a much less frustrating experience on your site. At LSEO, we know how to structure ecommerce sites to get the most out of each customer visit. When we optimize your pages and products with the keywords we found in our research and then structure your site assets in a top-down hierarchy, we create the necessary conditions for you to make more sales. Not only will real people find your site easy to navigate, but the search engines will, too. Google’s site crawlers will be able to read your site and will reward you with a better chance of ranking for the terms we target for you.Technical SEO
Technical SEO is one of the most vital tasks we complete for clients at LSEO, and it’s essential when doing ecommerce SEO. Technical SEO cleans up issues within the bones of your site so that people and search engines can get around your site more directly. Technical SEO issues with ecommerce sites include:- categorizing products correctly
- optimizing URL structures (URLs should be clean, neat, and descriptive)
- submitting XML and HTML sitemaps (so people and search engines can see the structure of your site’s pages)
- fixing broken links/pages
- removing duplicate content
- adding keyword-optimized meta tags to every important page
- adding canonical tags (for when users can reach one page from different categories)
- fixing status code errors (as with “404 – page not found”)
Link Building
Ecommerce websites need to get the word out about their products as much as possible. Link building is the branch of SEO that is designed to do exactly that. Just as there are good and bad ways to do link building, there are also some noted effective ways for ecommerce businesses to engage in link building. One method we recommend is to participate in influencer outreach. We employ this technique when we do link building for our clients. Social media and blogging influencers have many thousands of followers and usually enjoy frequent social shares. The key is to find influencers related to your industry niche. See if you can participate in product giveaways with these people, or maybe work with the influencer on an endorsement or other promotion. You can also create content built around your products and work to get it placed on influencer blog sites. If the content is informative and useful enough to that blog’s audience, you can start increasing traffic to the product pages you select (just ensure the content includes optimized anchor text that links to the appropriate page of your site). We do this all the time through our content marketing services. If you are an ecommerce business looking to build links to your products, ask us about this when we talk. We have helped countless ecommerce sites to jump ahead in the rankings, and we can do the same for you.Why Choose Us as Your Ecommerce SEO Partner?

You want to sell more stuff online, right? Well, that’s why SEO is important for ecommerce.
Organic search helps shoppers discover categories, compare products, and find information before buying. We assess its contribution alongside paid search, social media, and other channels using your store’s available conversion and revenue data.
Branded searches help customers who already know your business find the right products and information. Non-branded searches create opportunities to reach shoppers who want what you sell but have not yet discovered your store. We evaluate both when planning your ecommerce SEO strategy.
Non-branded search terms are the play here. The right ones will get you found by the people who matter to you.
The Perks of Ecommerce SEO
So, what are the main benefits of hiring an agency that can expertly perform your ecommerce SEO for you? We boil down three of them here:
Reach a larger portion of your target audience – Yes, you’re getting customers now (or you wouldn’t be in business), but ecommerce SEO helps you grow the audience you currently have. We employ all the right techniques to make your business more visible to those who want what you’re selling.
Compete for relevant product searches – We examine the product information, category pages, technical barriers, and search opportunities that affect how shoppers discover your store. This helps us prioritize improvements where your business can compete for qualified demand.
Support revenue growth – Better product discovery and easier navigation can help shoppers find and buy what they need. We assess organic conversions and revenue where tracking is available so the work remains connected to your business goals.
