The service, explained

What is ecommerce SEO?

Ecommerce SEO optimises product pages, categories and the technical structure of a store so it ranks for commercial searches.

It includes product titles and descriptions, category architecture, crawl optimisation, schema and content that supports Google Shopping. For WooCommerce and Shopify stores, organic traffic reduces dependence on paid ads and marketplace fees.

Six parts of store SEO.

Product page SEO

Titles, descriptions, schema and unique content for every SKU that matters.

Category architecture

Collection hierarchies, faceted navigation and canonical rules for large catalogues.

WooCommerce technical SEO

Crawl budget, duplicate content from filters, speed and indexation for WordPress stores.

Google Shopping feeds

Merchant Center optimisation and feed quality improvements.

Collection content

Buying guides and comparison content that rank and convert.

Competitor store analysis

Gap analysis against the top-ranking South African stores in your niche.

The expertise behind the experience

Considered in detail. Built with purpose.

01

WooCommerce SEO in South Africa

We optimise WooCommerce product URLs, prevent duplicate content from filters, implement Product schema, improve speed for mobile shoppers and build category content that ranks.

Local payment flows such as PayFast are considered in both the UX and the technical SEO.

02

Product vs category SEO

Product pages target specific SKU and brand-model searches. Category pages target broader commercial intent, such as “running shoes South Africa”.

Both need unique content, internal links and clean indexation, especially for catalogues with hundreds or thousands of SKUs.

03

Building value on your own domain

Ecommerce SEO builds the value of your product and category pages over time. It helps South African stores grow organic visibility on their own domains and reduce reliance on marketplaces and paid advertising.

Your questions, answered

A few good questions.

Let’s talk
What is ecommerce SEO?

Ecommerce SEO optimises product pages, categories and the technical store structure so your shop ranks on Google and drives organic sales.

Do you do SEO for WooCommerce stores?

Yes. We specialise in WooCommerce SEO for South African stores: product schema, category architecture and fast, PayFast-ready performance.

How much does ecommerce SEO cost?

Ecommerce SEO packages start from R8,500 a month, depending on catalogue size, competition and technical complexity.

Should I optimise product or category pages first?

Usually categories, because they target broader buying searches and pass authority to products. Large catalogues need both, with clean indexation for filters.

Can an independent store compete with Takealot in search?

On broad terms, rarely at first. On specific categories, product types and buying questions, often yes. Strong category pages, unique product content and helpful guides let a specialist store rank where marketplaces are thin.

What should happen to out-of-stock products?

If the product is coming back, keep the page live with a restock notice and alternatives. If it is gone for good, redirect it to the closest category. Deleting pages throws away the rankings they earned.
