Technical eCommerce SEO
We solve complicated SEO issues for online retailers
What is Technical SEO?
Technical SEO differs from keywords and content (on-page SEO), as well as from link building and content marketing (off-page SEO). These other forms of search engine optimization are more easily visible to the end user.
Technical SEO is comprised of the stuff most people don’t see, like rel = “canonical” tags, robots.txt files, HTTP response headers, JavaScript rendering, JSON-LD scripts, Schema markup and strategic site architecture.
Some Technical SEO Areas We’ve Worked On

See our article about JavaScript SEO in Website Magazine.
Duplicate content
Whether caused by faceted navigation, product variants or other duplicate content issues, we can help.
Vendor selection
See our analysis of product review vendors for an example of how we can inform SaaS decisions.
