Fractional SEO for ecommerce

The three case studies I publish are all online stores. Category architecture, product visibility, Merchant Centre and feed work, and the migrations that decide whether years of rankings survive launch day. A fractional ecommerce SEO consultant owns all of it for set days each month.

Three ecommerce campaigns from Harry’s SEO work at Boxhall Marketing.

Two of those three stores had strong products and poor organic visibility. The third needed its technical foundation rebuilt. That’s ecommerce SEO in a sentence. Find what’s holding the catalogue back, fix it properly, then grow.

It’s fractional SEO applied to a store, with one senior lead who knows your platform and sits close enough to your developers to catch problems before they ship.

WHERE STORES LOSE ORGANIC REVENUE

Where ecommerce SEO goes wrong

01

Categories cannibalising each other

Two or three category pages chasing the same search, and none of them winning. Fixing cannibalisation across categories was part of the fashion campaign.

02

Crawl spent on the wrong pages

Faceted navigation, thin variants and parameter URLs soak up crawl on pages nobody searches for. Crawl efficiency was a focus of the cleaning brand campaign.

03

Product schema missing or broken

Product structured data tells Google the price, availability and reviews. Both the fashion and furniture campaigns rolled it out.

04

Migrations without a redirect map

A replatform without a full redirect map can wipe out rankings built over years. It’s unglamorous work and it has to be right on launch day.

05

Feeds and Merchant Centre

Feed and Merchant Centre work, so products can show in Google’s shopping results as well as the organic listings.

06

Content that doesn’t sell

Blog posts ranking for things nobody buys. Category copy aimed at commercial intent does more for revenue, which is why the cleaning brand’s category pages were rewritten.

Platform quirks decide what’s technically possible, so knowing them well means fixes get shipped rather than filed. I work across all of these daily.

“When we approached Boxhall Marketing, our ecommerce website was brand new and we had zero rankings on Google. Since then, we have optimised our website in many ways and seen our rankings slowly grow for important keywords to our business.”

FAQ

Questions, answered

Something else? Email Harry.

Do you work on Shopify?

Yes. Shopify, WordPress and WooCommerce, Magento, Squarespace, Wix and custom builds. Each has quirks that decide what’s possible, and I work across all of them.

Can you help with a replatform or migration?

Yes. That means planning the redirect map before launch, checking it on the day and watching the data afterwards. The Interim plan exists for exactly this.

Do you do the work or direct it?

Both. If you have developers and writers, I direct them and check the output. If you don’t, more of the days go on hands on work.

How quickly will a store see results?

Technical fixes and striking distance keywords, the ones already sitting on page two, can move in weeks. Competitive commercial terms usually take three to nine months of steady work.
