What our San Francisco ecommerce SEO services include
Technical SEO for modern storefronts
Rendering audits for React, Next.js and Hydrogen builds, crawl budget, faceted navigation, canonical logic, pagination, internal linking between store, blog and docs, Core Web Vitals and structured data for products, offers and reviews. The discipline itself is on our technical SEO services page.
Category and collection page SEO
Category pages are where ecommerce SEO is won. We map real search demand to a category structure, write category copy that helps rather than pads, and build the internal links that push authority into money pages.
Product page optimization
Titles, descriptions, variants, duplicate handling, reviews, FAQs and schema across the catalog, prioritized by margin and search demand rather than alphabetically.
Content that supports the catalog
Buying guides, comparisons and use-case pages that rank and funnel into categories, not a lifestyle blog that never converts.
Links and brand mentions
Placements on publications, gift guides and comparison sites that both send traffic and build the authority competitive categories need. See link building and brand mention building.
AI shopping visibility
ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews increasingly answer "best [product] for [need]" with named brands. We track your share of those answers with PromptRush and work on the reviews, listicles and comparison pages they draw from. See our GEO agency in San Francisco page.
Platforms we work on
Shopify and Shopify Plus (see Shopify SEO services), BigCommerce (see BigCommerce SEO), WooCommerce, Magento and Adobe Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and headless builds on Hydrogen, Next.js Commerce or custom stacks. For brands that also sell on Amazon, we align both channels; see Amazon marketplace SEO.
Who ecommerce SEO in San Francisco is for
- DTC brands in apparel, outdoor, beauty, wellness, home and specialty food that sell nationally from the Bay Area.
- Marketplace and multi-vendor platforms with large, changing catalogs.
- Consumer hardware and gadget brands with technical products and long research cycles.
- Subscription and replenishment businesses where organic lifetime value justifies the investment.
Software companies with a self-serve checkout are usually better served by our San Francisco SEO agency program.
How we work
- Audit (weeks 1-2). Technical crawl and render check, category demand map, catalog gap analysis, backlink review and an AI shopping visibility baseline.

- Execution. Monthly technical fixes or tickets for your engineers, category and product work, content and links.
- Reporting. Organic revenue by category where tracking allows, rankings, indexed versus valuable pages, and AI answer share.
