FAQ

E-commerce SEO questions.

How long until I see results from e-commerce SEO?

Technical fixes show impact in 4-8 weeks as Google re-crawls. Product page optimization compounds over 3-6 months. Category page optimization can show ranking movement in 8-12 weeks for low-competition terms.

Do you work with Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce?

Yes, all three plus Magento and custom platforms. Each platform has different SEO constraints — we will tell you upfront what is possible and what is not on yours.

Can you fix my faceted navigation?

Almost certainly. We have designed facet strategies for catalogs from 100 to 100,000+ products.

Do I need a blog for e-commerce SEO?

Not strictly, but it helps significantly for top-of-funnel traffic and link acquisition. We typically recommend a content cluster strategy aligned to your product categories.
