E-commerce SEO
E-commerce SEO is applying SEO principles to webshops, focusing on category pages, product pages, schema markup and faceted navigation.
E-commerce SEO has unique challenges: thousands of near-identical product pages, faceted navigation, seasonal cycles, sell-out churn, and Product schema for rich results. Category pages are usually the commercial gold: invest there in original content, internal linking and keyword targeting. Product pages get schema + UGC (reviews) + unique descriptions where possible.
Example
A shop with 3,000 products has manufacturer descriptions everywhere. Top 100 products get unique SEO-rich descriptions + FAQ. Those 100 grow 200%, rest stagnates — prioritisation pays.
Frequently asked questions
Does a webshop need a blog?
Yes for topical authority and long-tail traffic. Category-informational content ('Which office chair to choose?') matches the buyer journey and lifts product-page conversion.
