Real ecommerce brands we have grown with SEO and AI Search, from Shopify stores to national retailers.
We work only with online stores, so we know where they lose ground and how to win it back. Our technical team handles any ecommerce platform, from Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, WordPress and Shopline through to fully custom builds, and the work covers keyword research, on-page optimization, technical fixes, Google Merchant Center, content, link building and AI search visibility. When the platform itself is the ceiling, we migrate the store and carry the rankings across.
More qualified visitors, more orders, more revenue at the end of the month. Take a look at our Shopify SEO services.
Our team has run hundreds of campaigns for online retailers across a wide range of categories, and the developers behind them have worked on every kind of store there is, custom platforms with no documentation included. Ecommerce is what we do all day.
We set the KPIs with you before work begins and report against them every month. Say Kia Ora and we will build a plan around your store.

Book a Free Strategy CallPaid traffic stops the moment the budget does. Organic keeps working. A category page that reaches the top of the results earns visitors every day for as long as it holds position, and the cost of each of those visits falls the longer it stays there.
For an online store that compounds quickly, because the pages doing the earning are your highest-intent ones. Someone searching for a specific product is a great deal closer to buying than someone who saw an ad.
Ranking a store takes every part of the program working together. Keyword research to find where the demand is. Category and product page optimization so your pages meet it. Technical work so search engines can crawl a large catalog. A clean Google Merchant Center feed so your products show up in Shopping. Content and links to build the authority that holds those positions, and the depth that gets you quoted when a shopper asks an AI assistant what to buy.
Most stores have one or two of these covered and the rest neglected, which is usually why their results have stalled. We work through all of it.
Every engagement runs the same way. We audit where you stand and where the opportunity is, agree the KPIs, then work through keyword research, on-page optimization, technical fixes, Merchant Center, content, link building and AI search. Each month you get a report on what moved and what it earned.

Still have questions, or wondering whether ecommerce SEO suits your store?
Ecommerce SEO is the work of making an online store appear more often in search results for the products it sells. Done properly it turns search into a channel that brings in buyers continuously.
The measure of it is orders and revenue, not positions on a chart.
An ecommerce SEO agency works with online retailers to grow the sales that come from organic search. It starts with an audit of where the store stands, what competitors are winning, and what is holding your pages back.
From there the agency builds and runs a plan across keyword research, on-page optimization, technical SEO, content and link building, and reports on what it returns.
Yes, and online stores tend to benefit more than most sites. Product and category pages capture people who already know what they want, so the traffic converts at a higher rate than almost anything else you can buy. Optimizing those pages, along with the structure holding them together, is what lifts rankings, traffic and sales at the same time.
All of them. Shopify, Shopline, BigCommerce, WordPress, Squarespace and Magento (Adobe Commerce) each ship with the basic tools, and how the store is configured on top of them decides the result. We also work on custom-built stores, which is where an experienced technical team earns its keep, because there is no plugin to fall back on. Where a platform has genuinely become the limit, we handle the migration.
We offer a complete range of ecommerce SEO services, from technical work and content through to Google Merchant Center and AI search, scoped to your catalog and your goals.
These include:
Work can also include competitor analysis, conversion rate optimization, product feed management, and whatever else your store needs to perform.
Ask us about ecommerce SEO for your store and we will show you where the growth is.
Pricing is transparent, and the scope is agreed in writing before anything starts.
Cost depends on the size of your catalog, how competitive your category is, and how much technical work the store needs. It ranges from a few hundred dollars a month to several thousand. You get the scope and the monthly figure before you commit to anything.
SEO is an ongoing process. Technical fixes can show up within weeks. Content and authority work generally takes three to six months before it moves competitive terms.
Consistency is what makes it pay. The stores that win are the ones still doing the work in year two.
AI assistants now answer a growing share of product research questions, and they cite only a small number of sources when they do. Getting your store into that set is becoming a discipline of its own.
It overlaps with SEO without being identical to it. Assistants favor pages that answer a question completely, carry clean product data, and are corroborated elsewhere on the web. We build for that alongside the traditional rankings.
There is more on how we approach it on our AI search page.
We take an all-in-one approach to ecommerce SEO, improving every part of your store. Our services include:
For results you can measure, talk to our team about your store.
Keyword research is the foundation of the whole strategy, and on a large catalog it has to be done at scale.
By identifying the terms your customers actually use, you can:
Mapping that demand across your categories is what tells you which pages to build, which to merge, and which were never worth having.
We use a range of ecommerce SEO strategies to grow visibility, traffic and sales.
Here are some of the key Ecommerce SEO strategies we rely on:
Which of these your store needs comes out of the audit.
The principles carry over. What changes is scale: thousands of near-identical product pages, filters that multiply URLs, product variants, stock that comes and goes, and a product feed that has to stay consistent with the site. Ecommerce SEO is largely about handling those at volume without breaking anything.
At Kia Ora Digital we specialize in ecommerce SEO, and we have built strategies for stores on Shopify, Shopline, BigCommerce, WordPress, Squarespace and Magento.
Yes. We set the product feed up, keep it running, clear the disapprovals that quietly pull products out of Shopping, and make sure the feed data agrees with what your product pages actually say.
Free listings put your products in front of shoppers at the moment they are ready to buy, and a neglected feed is one of the most common reasons a store is missing from that surface entirely.
