SEO for e-commerce and marketplaces
Paid media buys every visit; SEO builds the asset: categories and product pages that sell while you sleep — and are still there when you turn the ads off.
E-commerce lives trapped on the paid media wheel: every sale carries its cost per click and the platform takes the margin. Organic breaks that wheel through categories — “men's running shoes,” “best budget refrigerators” — where the demand that compares and buys actually lives. A well-ranked category is a salesperson without a salary.
The work combines architecture (indexable categories and filters without duplication), product pages with real content (not the supplier description forty other stores are running), and the technical layer a large catalog demands: efficient crawling, product schema, and speed.
The industry playbook
Category and filter architecture based on real demand
Product pages with original content: stop duplicating the supplier
Product schema: price, stock, and reviews right in the search result
Efficient crawling for large catalogs
Purchase content: guides and comparisons that push the decision
Frequently asked questions
SEO on my own store, or selling on marketplaces?
Both, with different roles: the marketplace brings volume today in exchange for commission; your ranked store builds margin and a customer of your own. The mistake is depending 100% on either one.
How long until organic drives sales?
Categories with existing demand show movement by month three or four; the compound effect — hundreds of product pages ranking long-tail — kicks in from month six onward and doesn't stop growing.
