Build search visibility around what your customers are actually looking for.
SEO is the process of making your website easier for search engines and customers to understand. For ecommerce, that means strong site structure, useful category pages, accurate product content and technically healthy pages.
SEO works best when it supports the customer journey
Ranking is not the only goal. Search traffic needs to land on pages that are relevant, trustworthy and commercially useful. Ecommerce SEO should connect discovery with clear product choice and conversion.
