# SEO Consultancy for E-commerce

> Category architecture, product entities, and technical scale that actually converts.

**SEO Consultancy**

E-commerce SEO lives or dies on architecture: category structure, faceted navigation, and product entities that let large catalogs rank without cannibalising themselves. I consult on the structure and semantics that let a growing catalog compound instead of quietly draining crawl budget into thin, duplicate filter pages.

The bigger shift is how fast AI-mediated shopping is growing. Roughly 43% of US online shoppers used an AI assistant for product research in the last 90 days, AI-driven traffic to US retail sites grew 393% year over year in a single quarter, and — the number that should get a merchandising team's attention — ChatGPT-referred traffic to retail sites converts at 11.4%, more than double Google organic's 5.3%. That's not a future trend to plan for eventually; it's already outperforming the channel most e-commerce SEO budgets are built around.

Getting entity and AEO foundations right now is cheap relative to what it costs to retrofit later, and it compounds with the same category-architecture work that already drives classic organic performance.

## E-commerce SEO challenges I solve
- Category and faceted-navigation chaos wasting crawl budget on near-duplicate filter combinations
- Thin or duplicated product/category content that can't rank or get cited
- Weak product and brand entity signals limiting rich-result and AI-citation eligibility
- Missing the shift to AI-assisted shopping, where referral traffic already converts meaningfully higher than classic organic
- Category pages cannibalising each other instead of consolidating ranking signal

## How I help e-commerce brands
- **Category + facet strategy** — Architecture that scales rankings without index bloat or crawl-budget waste.
- **Product entity SEO** — Schema and entity signals that earn rich results and AI-shopping citation eligibility.
- **Technical at scale** — Crawl, rendering, and performance fixes sized for large catalogs, not hand-edited page by page.
- **AI-shopping readiness** — Structured for the assistants and answer engines already sending higher-converting traffic than classic search.

## FAQ

**Do you handle large catalogs?**

Yes — the focus is scalable architecture and entity signals, not hand-editing thousands of pages one at a time.

**Can you help with faceted navigation?**

Absolutely — it's one of the biggest technical levers (and traps) in e-commerce SEO, and usually the single largest source of crawl-budget waste I find in a catalog audit.

**Is AI shopping really relevant yet?**

It's already converting: AI-referred retail traffic is growing triple digits year over year and converting more than twice as well as organic Google traffic for some retailers. Getting entity and AEO foundations right now is inexpensive insurance against a channel that's clearly not slowing down.
