eCommerce Search Engine Optimization Services (SEO) from a Top Agency

Approximately 80 percent of those who contact Inflow about eCommerce search engine optimization services have been burned by another agency. In most cases, they’re unhappy because they did not see organic traffic results, communication was poor, some other nonsense was being peddled as SEO, or all three. Below, we explain what makes our SEO for eCommerce sites better than any other digital marketing agency.

We Offer Custom SEO that Works

A static scope of work that focuses on “building five links a month, writing three articles a month, and targeting twenty specific keywords” for your online store is not, in our humble opinion, strategic SEO for your eCommerce business. Those are merely bits and pieces of SEO. Just like you can’t build a house if you focus only on plumbing and electrical, real SEO—the kind that produces increased sales for your eCommerce store—must be comprehensive and agile. For this reason, you won’t find us offering gold, silver, and bronze cookie-cutter plans. Instead, we offer eCommerce SEO services and strategies that are custom-tailored to your business goals and priorities – which leads to real results.

Our Custom, Strategic SEO Approach

Analytics

While not something that directly influences SEO results, it’s critical that your analytics be set up correctly and provide your SEO team with accurate data from which to draw conclusions and make recommendations for your product pages, strategic content, and the rest of your site. Our lead analytics expert is one of only one hundred Certified Google Analytics trainers in the world and, as a first step, we’ll make sure your analytics are configured correctly (this is true of all our services).

Technical SEO

Technical SEO is critical, not simply because it’s a vital element in successful SEO but because it’s one of the few factors over which you have complete control. If you don’t take care of the technical aspects of SEO, you’ll mute the effectiveness of any efforts with content creation/optimization and link building. And many agencies barely go beyond a few surface-level technical SEO elements. Inflow, on the other hand, goes deep on technical SEO. Aspects of technical SEO include crawl error analysis , crawl budget optimization, site speed, mobile friendliness, and much more. In addition, eCommerce websites that include product catalogs and shopping carts present technical challenges that lead-generation websites do not. As a result, it’s crucial that you work with eCommerce specialists like Inflow.

Keyword Targeting and Content

Once you have the technical aspects of SEO handled, it is all about content and links. Taking a comprehensive approach to SEO requires a focus on foundational content and strategic content. Foundational content includes such items as metadata, content on key pages (such as your homepage), category pages, and product detail pages. Conducting thorough keyword research to find targets that are both relevant to your business and for which you have a good chance of ranking at or near the top of the first page is the initial step. From there it’s about optimizing existing content and creating fresh content to fill any gaps. Strategic content such as blog posts, guides, videos, and infographics are critical for targeting top-of-funnel keywords, attracting links, and raising your site’s overall domain authority.

Should you need content creation services, Inflow employs in-house copywriters and has access to a variety of third-party content sources such as PR experts. Content marketing should be a piece of your marketing strategy that ties into SEO work, and Inflow makes sure you’re covered.

Link Building

Many people call Inflow specifically looking for link building services. While high-quality link building is obviously one of the most important aspects of SEO campaigns and something we do quite a bit of, it’s important not to skip the other areas we’ve covered above. When it’s time to build links, we start with an audit to establish an appropriate baseline backlink profile and develop a strategy tailored to your industry and your resources.

While average agencies skip certain areas, the SEO elements discussed above are relatively standard for any top eCommerce SEO company. Inflow addresses all areas of SEO about as deeply as an agency can. But we don’t stop there.

Our eCommerce website SEO team has pioneered many exotic and outside-the-box SEO strategies that other agencies learn from Inflow’s eCommerce marketing blog. We’d be happy to give you some examples during a strategy call with our team.

What is Agile SEO?

Our approach to SEO for eCommerce sites is agile in two ways.

First, we’ll flex our focus. If your site needs major technical work, that may be our initial focus. If content is your core problem, we may start there with page optimization. And when things inevitably shift, while other agencies stick to the program they sold you at the beginning, we’ll flex and shift our focus to the top priorities presented to us in real time.

Second, we can flex with your company structure and resource needs. For example, Overstock.com had six in-house SEO’s—plenty of in-house resources. They relied on us for exotic technical consulting and support not copywriting or link building. Some of our smaller clients, on the other hand, have few or no in-house resources and need us to be hands on with implementation. Whatever your company structure or SEO business needs, we are here to help.
