Ecommerce SEO agency that takes search traffic all the way to orders

Your categories reach page one for the searches that end in a basket. We judge the work by orders from organic search, and a prettier traffic graph is only a by-product.

What our ecommerce SEO services change in your store

Four things you will notice first in Search Console and then in your order list.

  • Categories that sell show up on page one

    Each category gets the buying searches meant for it, instead of fighting a near twin for the same query.

  • Filters bring buyers, not duplicates

    Filters people actually search for become pages with their own address. The rest stop eating Google's crawl.

  • Product pages that stand out in results

    Price and stock appear in the snippet, and your own descriptions replace the supplier copy found on fifty other shops.

  • Reports counted in orders

    Each month you see which categories brought orders and revenue, not a page of ranking positions.

Where stores bleed traffic

Why online stores lose traffic from Google

A catalogue has its own rules. A mistake that would be harmless on a five-page site gets copied across hundreds of URLs in a store.

Problem 1

Categories fighting over one query

Two categories and a filter page all chase the same search. Google cannot tell which one to show, so none of them climbs. It is the most common mistake we find in stores.

Our fixA query map with one page per intent. On a domain with 595+ referring domains we folded 11 competing product pages into one through a 9-redirect map.
Problem 2

Filters that breed thousands of duplicates

Sort orders and filter combinations swell the index. Googlebot spends its crawl on near-empty URLs instead of the categories that sell.

Our fixWe split filters into two groups. Those with real demand get a clean URL, their own title and a short text. Technical combinations are closed from indexing.
Problem 3

Product pages copied from the supplier

Hundreds of products carry the supplier's description word for word. The same text sits on dozens of other shops, and Google files it as a duplicate.

Our fixRewrites in order of margin and demand, Product markup and proper meta templates. We work in batches, so a big catalogue moves every week.
Problem 4

Visitors arrive but do not buy

The store ranks for how-to searches and hands the buying ones (buy, price, brand names) to competitors and marketplaces. People read, then order somewhere else.

Our fixWe shift the focus to commercial queries, with categories built around product type, brand and feature. You see the change in the orders report.

Results you can check

Real figures from projects Vitaliy has led. Where a project was in Ukraine, the label says so.

Upwork project · Ukraine

Organic traffic up to 340.8K visits a month

Organic traffic, Semrush. Project in Ukraine. The curve runs from April 2023 to February 2025 and ends at 340,770 monthly organic visits, as measured by Semrush on 22 April 2025. See it on Upwork

Upwork project

One domain went from 60K to 500K sessions

Monthly sessions on one domain grew from 60K to 500K. The timeframe is not public, so this chart has no time axis.

Upwork projects · Netherlands and other markets

Catalogues rebuilt around real demand

47 Shopify categories for a Dutch store, 73 categories for a haircare brand, a 143-category tree planned from competitor keywords, and 11 competing product pages merged into one through 9 redirects.

Cosmetics store · Ukraine

About 100 sales a month once the categories stopped competing

More than 70 categories chased the same searches. We separated them by intent in batches of 8–10, and the shop now makes about 100 sales a month from organic search. Read the cosmetics store case study

What might be stopping you

The five doubts store owners raise most often, with straight answers.

Will the changes hurt the sales I have now?

We change categories in batches of 8–10 and do not delete pages or hide them behind noindex. On a domain with 595+ referring domains we merged 11 competing product pages through a 9-redirect map, so the authority stayed with the store.

Is my platform the problem?

Rarely. Shopify, WooCommerce and OpenCart each have quirks we know how to work around. On a Dutch Shopify store with 47 categories the trouble was a theme hiding category text from Google, and fixing it needed no new platform.

An agency in another country?

Vitaliy works in English, German and Dutch, and Kyiv is only two hours ahead of London. The contract and payments run through Upwork, where either side can end the contract at any moment.

$2,500 a month is a lot

That is where the monthly fee starts, and the exact figure comes after the free review. Try a modest scenario in the calculator above and compare it with the fee before you decide.

I tried SEO before and saw nothing

Often that means blog posts and a ranking report while the categories kept competing with each other. Here you get a 90-day plan with KPIs and a plain-English report every month. Nobody can honestly promise you first place, and we will not.

Everything is connected

Store SEO does not live on its own. Most of the money sits in the links between these four parts.

  1. Website category tree planned before the theme

  3. Google Ads every order traced to its search

Questions about SEO for online stores

How much do ecommerce SEO services cost?
Our fee for monthly work begins at $2,500. The final figure depends on catalogue size, the niche and how hard the competition is, since a shop with a few hundred products is more work than a service site. After the free review we propose one of three formats. Ongoing work, a one-off project, or an audit your own team can act on.
When will my store see the first results?
Usually the first movement shows in 2–3 months. Once the index is cleaned and cannibalisation is fixed, some categories grow without a single new text. A steady rise in orders takes 4–6 months, depending on how crowded the niche is.
What is category cannibalisation and why does it hurt?
It happens when several pages of a store, say two categories and a blog post, go after one query. Google splits relevance between them and none ranks high. Sorting it out is the quickest way to lift rankings without writing anything new.
Do you optimise every product page?
No, that would burn the budget. Categories come first because they collect most of the demand. Next come the products with the best margin and the most searches. The rest get template-level optimisation and markup.
Which platforms do you work with?
Shopify, WooCommerce, OpenCart and the other common ones. Each has its own quirks, from how filters behave to how fast pages load. We describe two of them separately, on the pages about SEO for a Shopify store and WordPress and WooCommerce optimisation.
Is SEO better than ads for an online store?
They run on different economics. Ads sell from day one, but each buyer keeps costing the same. SEO builds something you own, and the cost per buyer drops as categories settle in the top results. Most stores do best with ads at launch and SEO for the long run.
My catalogue is huge. Can you cope with the volume?
Yes. We have planned a 143-category architecture and architected a directory of 10M pages, so size is not the issue. We rank the work by demand and margin, use templates for typical pages and keep the hand work for the categories that bring most revenue.

Ecommerce SEO services for UK online stores

Organic search can become a store's main source of orders if somebody treats the catalogue as one system. BeeTop has worked on SEO for ecommerce since 2010. A shop behaves differently from a service website because errors multiply. One bad category template repeats on every category, and one filter closed the wrong way can spawn thousands of duplicate URLs. The same mechanics work in your favour once the structure is right, and the store starts growing across thousands of queries at the same time. That is why a catalogue needs a person who has seen these patterns on real projects. A generic checklist will miss them.

Categories and filters carry the weight

In a store the main landing pages are categories. They collect the buying searches, a product type plus a brand or a feature, from people who want to order now. So the work starts with the tree. We plan the catalogue around actual demand, remove cannibalisation and pick the filters that deserve an indexable page of their own. A filter like red midi dresses or corner sofas with storage can bring hundreds of visitors a month once it has a clean URL, its own title and heading, and a short text. Every other combination gets closed, and Google spends its crawl on pages that sell.

How your platform affects the work

Every platform sets limits of its own. Shopify fixes the URL pattern and creates duplicate paths through collections. WooCommerce throws up attribute duplicates and plugin bloat. OpenCart and custom builds each have their own habits with filters. If the shop is still on the drawing board, we can build an online store on an SEO foundation from day one, with the keyword map finished before anyone opens a design tool. That is far cheaper than restructuring a live catalogue later.

What SEO for an online store costs

Price comes down to the size of the catalogue, the competition in your niche and the state the site is in today. Fifty products in a narrow niche and 5,000 SKUs in a crowded one are very different jobs, so we quote after the review and not from a price list. Monthly SEO services for ecommerce start from $2,500. Send us your store address. Within 24 hours you will see where the catalogue leaks traffic and which format of work fits your budget.
