Category hierarchy that fights discovery
Product listing pages buried, thin or duplicated across near-identical filter combinations. Crawl budget drains into permutations while the collections that sell wait to be recrawled.
Category and product architecture, faceted navigation control, and schema at catalogue scale, connected to clean purchase events so you can see what actually moves revenue.
Catalogue sites fail in ways brochure sites do not. These three account for most of it.
Product listing pages buried, thin or duplicated across near-identical filter combinations. Crawl budget drains into permutations while the collections that sell wait to be recrawled.
Product and listing templates carry the most traffic and the most third-party script. Slow LCP costs conversion before it costs ranking, so it hides in the revenue line rather than the SEO report.
Purchase events firing twice, feeds out of sync with the catalogue, ad platforms reporting numbers the backend does not recognise. Every optimisation after that is built on sand.
A perfectly optimised product page inside a broken category structure will not be found, and a well-structured store that loads slowly will be found and abandoned. The two constrain each other.
We fix the structure so the right pages are discoverable, then make the templates fast enough that discovery converts, and verify both against real purchase data rather than rankings.
Crawl the catalogue, map indexation waste and find where revenue pages sit.
Rebuild category hierarchy and facet rules so discovery follows demand.
Ship product and category schema, and strengthen thin listing content.
Fix vitals on product and listing templates where the traffic actually is.
Verify purchase events and feeds so reporting matches the backend.
Store SEO only matters if it shows up in revenue. These figures are from named engagements.
“The store SEO work finally connected traffic, speed and feeds. We can see which collections and templates actually move revenue.”

The method is consistent. What changes is which constraint costs the most in each sector.
