Ecommerce SEO agency

Online retail is more competitive than ever. Your store competes against giants with massive budgets, aggressive paid campaigns, and established market dominance. Without a clear path to organic visibility, you’re left fighting for scraps, paying more for every click while your competitors occupy the top positions you need to grow.

 

We are a UK-based ecommerce SEO agency that helps online stores break through the noise and build sustainable revenue from search.

Grow your online store with a proven ecommerce SEO company

Ecommerce SEO positions your products in front of buyers who are ready to purchase. It builds a steady stream of high-intent traffic that doesn’t disappear when ad budgets run out.

The difference between struggling stores and thriving ones often comes down to visibility at critical moments. Customers searching for products you sell are making buying decisions right now. If your store doesn’t appear in those search results, you’ve lost the sale to a competitor who does.

Strategic ecommerce SEO delivers:

  • Higher organic revenue – rank for the search terms that drive purchases, not just traffic
  • Reduced acquisition costs – build sustainable visibility without relying solely on paid ads
  • Better conversion rates – optimised product pages that speak directly to customer intent
  • Long-term compound growth – every improvement adds to a foundation that delivers returns month after month

Unlike paid advertising, SEO builds equity. Technical improvements, optimised content, and earned authority continue working long after implementation.

At Roar Digital, our approach prioritises commercial outcomes. We align every tactic with your revenue goals, focusing on the search terms and optimisations that drive sales, not vanity metrics.

Frustrated with a site that won’t rank?

Don’t let messy site structure and duplicate content stop your store from ranking. Our ecommerce SEO experts fix the visibility issues that confuse search engines and cost you sales, helping your products get found and your traffic grow.

Ecommerce Platforms We Optimise

Shopify

Shopify is a powerful platform, but its out-of-the-box SEO capabilities have limitations. Theme constraints, duplicate content issues, and restrictive URL structures can hold stores back. We solve these challenges by working within Shopify’s framework to improve collection-page indexing, optimise site speed, implement advanced structured data, and unlock SEO features that standard setups miss. Our team knows how to push Shopify’s boundaries without compromising functionality or user experience.

WooCommerce

Built on WordPress, WooCommerce offers unmatched SEO flexibility. We leverage this advantage to create highly optimised product architectures, implement custom schema markup, and build content strategies that integrate seamlessly with your store. From technical configuration to on-page refinement, we ensure WooCommerce stores maximise the platform’s inherent SEO strengths while avoiding common pitfalls like plugin conflicts and performance issues.

Magento (Adobe Commerce)

Magento powers some of the world’s largest ecommerce operations, but its complexity brings unique challenges. Large catalogues, slow page speeds, and indexation issues can cripple performance if not handled correctly. We specialise in tackling these enterprise-level problems, optimising server configurations, streamlining site architecture for massive inventories, and ensuring critical pages receive proper crawl budget allocation. Our technical expertise ensures Magento stores perform at scale.

BigCommerce

BigCommerce offers robust built-in SEO features, but unlocking its full potential requires deep platform knowledge. We enhance product visibility through advanced structured data optimisation, refine category hierarchies for better internal linking, and implement strategies that leverage BigCommerce’s native capabilities. Our approach ensures your store stands out in competitive markets while maintaining the platform’s performance advantages.

Our ecommerce seo services:

Every successful ecommerce SEO campaign starts with a clear, structured approach. We don’t rely on guesswork or one-size-fits-all templates. Our methodology is built around transparency, accountability, and measurable progress at every stage. From the initial audit to ongoing optimisation, you’ll know exactly what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and how it contributes to your revenue goals.

1. SEO audit & opportunity mapping

Every campaign begins with a comprehensive audit that identifies the technical barriers, content gaps, and missed opportunities currently holding your store back. We analyse site architecture, indexation issues, page speed, and crawlability to uncover what’s preventing search engines from ranking your products. Beyond technical diagnostics, we map out high-value opportunities, untapped keywords, underperforming product categories, and competitor weaknesses, that form the foundation of your growth strategy.

2. Keyword research & intent mapping

Not all keywords are equal. We focus on search terms that drive conversions, mapping high-intent keywords to your product and category pages to capture purchase-ready traffic. Our research goes beyond search volume, analysing buyer intent, competition levels, and commercial value to prioritise the terms that will deliver the highest ROI. This ensures your store appears in front of customers at the exact moment they’re ready to buy.

3. Technical SEO foundation

A fast, crawlable, and technically sound website is non-negotiable for ecommerce success. We address critical issues like site speed, Core Web Vitals, mobile usability, and structured data implementation. For large catalogues, we optimise site architecture to ensure important product pages receive maximum crawl budget and link equity. Technical SEO forms the foundation upon which all other strategies are built.

4. On-page & content optimisation

Your product and category pages are your revenue drivers. We optimise every element, titles, meta descriptions, headers, product descriptions, and images, to align with search intent and improve conversion rates. Where content gaps exist, we develop strategic blog content and buying guides that capture top-of-funnel traffic and guide users toward purchase decisions. Every piece of content is created with both search engines and customers in mind.

5. Authority building & digital PR

Rankings aren’t just about on-page optimisation. Search engines assess your site’s authority based on the quality and relevance of links pointing to your store. We build authority through ethical link-building and digital PR strategies that earn high-quality backlinks from trusted, relevant sources. This elevates your domain authority, strengthens trust signals, and positions your brand as a credible player in your market, benefits that extend far beyond SEO.

Ecommerce analytics & CRO

SEO drives traffic, but conversions drive revenue. We use advanced analytics to track user behaviour, identify friction points, and refine campaigns for maximum ROI. Our approach integrates conversion rate optimisation (CRO) with SEO strategy, ensuring the traffic we generate doesn’t just visit your site, it converts. Through continuous testing, data analysis, and performance monitoring, we identify opportunities to improve average order values, reduce cart abandonment, and increase customer lifetime value. Every insight feeds back into the campaign, creating a cycle of continuous improvement that compounds results over time.

Generative engine optimisation

The search landscape is evolving rapidly. AI-powered search experiences, generative answers, and new shopping interfaces are changing how customers discover and purchase products. We don’t just optimise for traditional search engines, we future-proof your store for AI-driven platforms. Our approach includes optimising for AI overviews, refining product feed specifications for instant checkout integrations, and tracking emerging LLM traffic sources with custom bespoke data dashboards. By staying ahead of these shifts, we ensure your store remains visible as search behaviour continues to evolve.

Our ecommerce SEO process:

Understanding the services we offer is one thing. Knowing what it’s actually like to work with us is another. This is how we manage projects, communicate progress, and deliver results from day one through to long-term growth.

We begin every engagement by understanding your business inside and out. What are your revenue targets? Which products drive the highest margins? Who are your main competitors? We analyse your current performance, identify what’s working and what isn’t, and map out a clear strategy aligned with your commercial objectives. This phase sets the foundation for everything that follows.

Once we understand your goals, we build a detailed roadmap that outlines priorities, timelines, and expected outcomes. We establish clear KPIs tied directly to revenue and conversions, not just traffic. Tracking is configured to measure what matters—organic revenue, product performance, and ROI. You’ll know exactly what success looks like and how we’ll measure it.

This is where the work happens. We execute the technical fixes identified in the audit, optimise product and category pages, implement structured data, and address any barriers preventing your store from ranking. Our team works methodically through the roadmap, prioritising high-impact changes that deliver results quickly while building the foundation for long-term growth.

You’ll never be left guessing what’s happening with your campaign. We provide transparent, easy-to-understand reporting that tracks performance against the KPIs we established. Our dashboards show how SEO activity translates into revenue, highlighting wins, explaining setbacks, and identifying new opportunities. Communication is proactive, we flag issues before they become problems and celebrate progress as it happens.

SEO isn’t a one-time project. Markets shift, algorithms update, and competitors evolve. We continuously test new strategies, refine existing tactics, and scale what’s working. This includes conversion rate optimisation to improve the value of traffic we generate, future-proofing for AI-driven search experiences, and expanding into new keyword opportunities as your store grows. The result is a campaign that compounds results over time, building momentum month after month.

Turn search into your most profitable sales channel

Don’t let poor rankings, technical issues, and missed opportunities cost you revenue. Our proven ecommerce SEO strategies drive high-intent traffic, improve product visibility, and optimise your store for conversions, turning organic search into predictable, scalable growth.
