eCommerce allows you to reach worldwide and operate 24/7 without the traditional roadblocks of a physical shop – yet it’s a competitive arena. As more people shop online, having a discoverable, visible eCommerce site is crucial for most businesses.

The digital nature of eCommerce allows businesses to capture and analyse customer data – vital for B2B and B2C online sales. Building a great-looking eCommerce store isn’t enough – it needs to be easily found, especially by potential customers using Google to look for your products and services.

That’s where our eCommerce SEO agency services come in. Our services help improve an online store’s visibility on search engines such as Google. When done right, eCommerce SEO ensures that a store’s products appear at the top of search results, leading to more visitors and sales.

Technical SEO for eCommerce

As an ecommerce SEO agency, we know how critical technical SEO is to the success of online sales. We work with national and global online stores to address technical issues and make every customer count. We work with sites of all sizes – from tailored B2B services sites to stores for global brands that generate millions in revenue. We work hand-in-hand with technical teams, prioritising technical issues from page speed, JavaScript rendering, crawl budgets and canonicals.

Our in-house development and UX/UI team have in-depth SEO experience, working with our technical SEOs to optimise site structure, build schema, bust redirect chains and ensure products and listings appear correctly in search. We optimise page load speeds using tools such as Google Lighthouse and Google Search Console.

eCommerce SEO Site Audits

We start with a full, comprehensive SEO audit of your online store as part of our ecommerce SEO agency services. Whether you’re selling B2B services or operating a global B2C store with direct digital sales, you need to know how your site performs. We check the site and page speed. We crawl your site for errors, broken links and poorly optimised PDPs and PLPs. We measure competitors to see how your online store stacks up.

We create a ‘must fix’ list of SEO issues to address – from toxic backlinks to technical SEO problems – then work with you to create a plan to repair problems, optimise pages, and get your online store back on track. Just launching a store? Our in-house web development team are on hand to help you set up your site to succeed in search, driving your products and services to the top of Google search results.

Ranking PDPs (Product Pages)

An online store shouldn’t just be a list of products. You need to add value to encourage customers to visit. When people search for products you offer, your store should top the search rankings results. This involves ensuring product titles, descriptions, and other on-page elements are SEO optimised. Additionally, we assess your site structure to ensure search engines can easily crawl and index the site’s content.

We research, assign and track keywords for products and pages, optimising page content, internal links and using outreach to build credibility and trust in your products.

Use product schema to get in featured SERPS snippets.
Attract relevant customers looking to buy products and services.
Boost site speed, reduce bounce and increase search ranking.

SEO Content and Backlinks

Content in ecommerce isn’t just about words. Product pages and your entire store should provide potential buyers with clear, informative descriptions so they know exactly what they’re purchasing. Clear images, concise descriptions, and easy-to-identify benefits are key. Submerge crafts content from our 100% UK-based in-house content team that clearly communicates the value of a product, answering potential questions buyers might have, and helping increase conversions.

Links from other websites act like votes of confidence in search engines’ eyes. However, not all links are created equal. Submerge focuses on acquiring quality links from reputable sources relevant to your industry. This not only helps boost the website’s authority but also directs potential customers from other platforms to your online store.

Our eCommerce SEO agency services – FAQs.

What do eCommerce SEO agencies do?

An eCommerce agency assists businesses in setting up, managing and optimising online stores. They offer a range of services, from designing the store’s layout to implementing SEO strategies to boost its visibility in search engine results. Their primary goal is to enhance the shopping experience for users and maximise sales for the business.

We offer a complete range of eCommerce services, including eCommerce strategy development, website build integrating payment systems and open source platforms such as WooCommerce. We optimise existing online stores for search, boosting visibility in search engine results, and building brilliant UX and UI that boost conversion funnels.

We offer full eCommerce performance tracking, CRM integration with systems such as HubSpot, and CRO for optimising conversion rates.

How does eCommerce SEO differ from regular SEO?

While the core principles remain the same, eCommerce SEO has its unique set of challenges and opportunities. Given the transactional nature of eCommerce sites, the focus is often on optimising product listings, managing a larger number of pages, and ensuring a seamless checkout process.

We focus on optimising your entire store. From shopping pages and supporting content, through to targeting commercial and transactional keywords that attract highly relevant customers, our SEO services are a blend of technical, on-page SEO and outreach such as backlink building.

What's the importance of mobile responsiveness in eCommerce?

With an increasing number of shoppers using mobile devices, having a mobile-responsive eCommerce site is crucial. It ensures that users have a consistent shopping experience, whether they’re on a desktop, tablet, or mobile phone. A mobile-friendly site can lead to increased sales and lower cart abandonment rates.

Slow pages equal higher bounce and less time Google has to crawl your site. Google generally doesn’t serve up slow sites – you need fast, speedy page loads, especially on mobile, in order to compete.

How can I ensure my eCommerce site is secure?

Ensuring the security of your online store is vital, not just for the business but also for gaining customer trust. Implementing SSL certificates, regular security audits, and adhering to payment card industry (PCI) standards are some of the steps businesses can take.

Submerge is Cyber Essentials Certified. That means we meet government standards when it comes to cyber security.

Our approach to eCommerce sites is based on best practices. We implement professional 24/7 real-time threat monitoring, using tools such as WordFence and CloudFlare to implement multi-layered WAF (Web Application Firewall) security. The result is to reduce the risk of attacks such as DDoS and malware attacks.

How do I handle eCommerce returns and refunds?

A clear and fair returns policy can be a competitive advantage in e-commerce. It’s essential to outline the process for returns, state the timeframe in which returns are accepted, and specify any conditions, such as the state of the returned product.

Submerge uses WooCommerce and a range of payment gateways to handle a wide variety of payment types. We built customer account sections, allowing you to administer, refund, reject and approve payments, set up credit card payments, integrate payment systems such as PayPal, and link them to CRM systems and inventory control so you keep on top of customer purchases.
