Technical SEO

In the background, Google is consistently crawling your eCommerce website.Simply put, you want to make it as easy as possible for Google to understand your website when it performs that crawl.

The fundamental components of technical SEO are:
Crawlability: How easy it is for search engine crawlers to read and follow links in your site's content?
Indexability: Whether you allow search engines to show your site’s links in the search results or not.
Mobile-Friendliness: How well your eCommerce website is designed and optimised to load on a mobile device.
Site Speed: How quickly users can see and interact with your content.
Website Architecture: How your site is organised and webpages interlinked.

How we audit this for you
We have technology that allows us to run a full diagnostic crawl of your website, in the same way that Google’s crawler does.

Therefore, we can see the same bugs and fixes that may be holding your eCommerce website back from valuable rankings, traffic and revenue.

Our experience allows us to analyse these results and prioritise them on a severity basis, focusing your time and resources on the fixes that are the most likely to have an impact on your SEO performance.

What we provide for you.
We analyse the crawl results and document them into an easy-to-understand chart. Each fix that we find will be accompanied by a short description in plain English. No tech talk, unless you brief us otherwise.

If we find fixes that we believe the client can DIY, we take it upon ourselves to export the results of the crawl and format them into a clear and simple Google Sheet. For example, if we saw that 50 of your products did not have a meta description set.

We use our intuition and understanding of eCommerce websites to piece together your website architecture and build this out as a sitemap document for you.

Content & Optimisation

Google prioritises websites with high-value, engaging and fresh content that answers users' questions. Even with all of the technical aspects in hand, you are still going to need high-quality content across your key pages if you wish to rank highly on Google. If your page is of poor quality, or lacking in enough content, it will not stand a chance of ranking where you need it to.

Furthermore, you could brief the best copywriter in the world to produce your product descriptions but they may have no understanding of what is required to write with Google in mind, there are a series of optimisation signals that you can place within your content to help Google pick up on what you are saying.

How we audit this for you
We split eCommerce content into four types:
Core content: the general pages of the website, like the homepage, about, contact, delivery & returns and so on
PLP (Product Listings Pages): the copy on your category and subcategory pages
PDP (Product Display Pages): the copy on your product pages
Blog content: the blog content strategy.

Each content type is audited manually by a member of our team by browsing your website and understanding your content.

Our technical crawl results will also help us to understand how well-optimised your content is. It will flag up if any of your pages are missing vital headings and meta information, and we can duly tell you what you need to do to improve.

What we provide for you
We will provide you with a written appraisal of the strength of your content across the four types outlined above.

We will also notify you of any content gaps that we think you have on your website - information that we think you should have, but you currently do not.

Finally, we will also provide you with blog content suggestions based on the keywords that you want us to research for you. We can research those keywords and help you to understand the most commonly-Googled questions around those topics. Perfect for blog content.

Backlinks

Strong backlinks (when another website links to yours) prove your authority to Google.

They are the crucial outside factor that affects your rankings, vitally important when it comes to improving your SEO, but difficult to accomplish and hard to understand.

Our responsibility is to show you the quantity and quality of websites across the internet that link back to your own eCommerce website.

How we audit this for you
We can run a crawl of the internet to assess how many backlinks are pointing to your domain, and most importantly, how authoritative those backlinks are.We often get asked if it is best practice to have as many backlinks as possible. This isn’t the case. Websites should aim for the highest number of relevant and quality backlinks possible.

What we provide for you
We will provide you with readings on your total number of backlinks, and give those backlinks an overall Toxicity Score to help you understand how healthy your backlink profile is.

We will dig deeper, exploring the individual backlinks that you have so that we can produce a written summary of the nature of your backlink profile. You’ll be shown what your strongest links are, any dangerous ones, and how you can tell Google to ignore them when it crawls the internet.
