Real ecommerce brands we have grown with SEO and AI Search, from Shopify stores to national retailers.
We concentrate on online stores, so we understand what holds them back. Our technical team works across every ecommerce platform, from Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, WordPress and Shopline right through to custom-built systems, and the work covers keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical improvements, Google Merchant Center, content, link building and visibility in AI search. If your platform has become the obstacle, we handle the migration and keep your rankings intact.
Better-qualified visits, a higher share of them converting, and more revenue to show for it. Our Shopify SEO services are a good place to start.
The team behind your account has delivered hundreds of campaigns for online retailers in almost every category, and the developers alongside them have worked inside stores of every kind, including custom platforms built years ago by someone long gone.
We agree the KPIs before starting and report on them each month. Say Kia Ora and we will put a plan together for your store.

That works especially well for retail, since product searches carry the strongest buying intent anywhere online. Someone searching a model name is far closer to a purchase than someone who saw an advert.
No single tactic ranks a store on its own. It takes research to locate the demand, category and product pages built to answer it, technical work so a big catalogue can be crawled and indexed, a healthy Google Merchant Center feed so your products turn up in Shopping, and content and links to earn the standing that keeps those pages in place. That same depth is what gets a store mentioned when a shopper asks an AI assistant what to buy.
Plenty of stores have two or three of these covered and the others ignored, which is normally where growth stalls. We handle the lot.
Every account follows the same route. We review where you sit and where the room to grow is, agree the KPIs, then move through research, on-page work, technical fixes, Merchant Center, content, link building and AI search. Each month you receive a report covering what shifted and what it delivered.

Still have questions, or unsure whether ecommerce SEO is right for your store?
Ecommerce SEO is everything involved in getting an online store to show up when people search for what it sells. Handled well, search becomes a channel that keeps producing buyers.
Orders and revenue are how we judge it.
An ecommerce SEO agency helps online retailers grow the sales coming through search. The starting point is a review: where the store ranks now, what competitors are taking, and what is limiting your pages.
The agency then delivers a plan covering keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical work, content and link building, and reports back on the outcome.
It can, and retailers usually see more from it than other businesses do. Product and category pages reach shoppers who already know what they are after, so that traffic converts better than most. Improving those pages, along with the structure beneath them, raises rankings, visits and sales at the same time.
Any of the main ones, and the unusual ones too. Shopify, Shopline, BigCommerce, WordPress, Squarespace and Magento (Adobe Commerce) can all rank well, and the setup matters far more than the badge on the platform. Custom-built stores are where having experienced developers on the team counts, because nothing can be solved by installing an app. Where a platform has genuinely become a ceiling, we take care of the migration.
Our ecommerce SEO services cover the full programme, from technical work and content through to Google Merchant Center and AI search, scoped to your catalogue and what you are trying to achieve.
These include:
The work can also include competitor analysis, conversion rate optimisation, product feed management, and anything else your store calls for.
Ask us about ecommerce SEO for your store and we will show you where the opportunity is.
Pricing is open, and the scope is written down and agreed before we start.
What it costs comes down to the size of your catalogue, how hard your category is, and the technical state of the site. It sits anywhere from a few hundred dollars a month to several thousand. The scope and the monthly figure are agreed before you commit.
SEO is a continuous process. Technical work can produce a change within weeks. Content and authority take longer, normally three to six months before contested terms move.
Staying with it is what pays. The stores that get ahead are the ones still working at it a year or two on.
More and more product research starts inside an AI assistant, and each answer cites only a small number of sources. Getting your store into that group is now a discipline of its own.
It shares a great deal with SEO without being identical. Assistants prefer pages that answer the question completely, carry clean product information, and are supported by mentions elsewhere online. We build for that alongside the rankings.

We take a complete approach to ecommerce SEO, improving every part of your online store. Our services include:
For growth you can actually measure, talk to our team about your store.
Keyword research sits underneath everything else, and on a large catalogue it needs to be done at scale.
By working out exactly which terms your customers use, you can:
Laying that demand over your category structure tells you which pages to build, which to combine, and which were never earning their place.
We rely on a range of ecommerce SEO strategies to lift visibility, traffic and sales.
Here are some of the key Ecommerce SEO strategies we rely on:
Which ones apply to your store comes out of the audit.
The fundamentals are the same. Scale is what sets it apart: thousands of nearly identical product pages, filters that multiply URLs, variants, stock that changes constantly, and a feed that has to stay in step with the site. Most of ecommerce SEO is handling that volume cleanly.
At Kia Ora Digital we specialise in ecommerce SEO, and have built strategies for stores on Shopify, Shopline, BigCommerce, WordPress, Squarespace and Magento.
We do. That covers setting the product feed up, keeping it healthy, clearing the disapprovals that quietly drop products out of Shopping, and making sure the feed and your product pages agree.
Free listings put products in front of people right when they are ready to buy, and a neglected feed is one of the most common reasons a store never appears there at all.
Partnering with an expert Ecommerce SEO agency like ours brings all kinds of benefits to your business. Here are just a few you can expect:
If you want to know what organic search could be worth to your store, ask us for a growth plan.
