SEO & AI Search Optimization

Service

Search visibility built into how your store actually works.

Technical, ecommerce and AI search optimization for brands that need more than an audit: we find what limits organic discovery — in Google, AI answers and shopping surfaces — and implement the fixes in your platform.

Best for

Shopify and Shopify Plus brands with meaningful organic traffic at stake, a migration on the horizon, or a growing gap between content output and search results.

Typical scope

An audit and roadmap, a migration project, or ongoing optimization with implementation capacity.

Works with

Your content, development and paid media teams — or directly in the theme when there is no one else to do it.

Tools

Google Search Console · Google Merchant Center · Bing Webmaster Tools · Shopify & Shopify Plus · Liquid · Schema.org · GA4 · BigQuery · Screaming Frog · Cloudflare

Common problems

Where ecommerce search programs usually break down.

Audits that never get implemented

You have a list of 200 issues. The fifteen that matter are buried, and development time goes to the easy ones.

Collection and product pages competing with each other

Faceted navigation, duplicate variants and tag pages split authority and confuse crawlers.

Content that ranks for the wrong intent

Blog traffic grows while commercial category pages stay on page two.

Migrations and redesigns that lose visibility

Redirects, URL changes and template rewrites shipped without a search plan.

Uncertainty about AI search

Customers ask assistants for product recommendations, and you have no view of whether — or how — your brand appears.

Feeds and Merchant Center treated as an ad-ops task

Product data quality affects free listings and AI shopping results, but no one owns it.

Capabilities

Everything that decides whether customers find you.

Each capability can be engaged on its own; most programs combine three or four.

Technical SEO

The foundations: crawling, indexing, rendering and speed.

  • Crawl, index and rendering analysis
  • Canonicalization, faceted navigation and pagination
  • Core Web Vitals and template performance
  • Robots, sitemaps and log-file review

Ecommerce & Shopify SEO

Platform-specific issues most generalists miss.

  • Collection, product and variant strategy
  • Shopify URL structure, tags and filters
  • Theme and app impact on crawlability
  • Internationalization with Shopify Markets

Architecture & content

Pages that match how customers search and buy.

  • Site architecture and navigation
  • Keyword-to-page mapping by intent
  • Content strategy and editorial briefs
  • Internal linking systems

Structured data

Accurate, supported markup — nothing added for show.

  • Product, Offer and Organization schema
  • BreadcrumbList and Article markup
  • Validation against rendered pages
  • Theme-level implementation

Migrations

Platform moves and redesigns without the traffic cliff.

  • Pre-migration benchmarks and URL inventory
  • Redirect mapping and testing
  • Launch-day checks and monitoring
  • Post-launch recovery plans

AI search & shopping visibility

AEO and GEO for generative search experiences.

  • AI visibility benchmarking across assistants
  • Entity and brand information consistency
  • Product feed optimization and Google Merchant Center
  • AI shopping discoverability

In practice

From ecommerce taxonomy and structured data to crawl governance and AI-search visibility measurement, the work connects discoverability to real customer journeys.

Led

Search discovery architecture for large catalogs and platforms

Defined information architecture, taxonomies, structured profiles, internal linking, programmatic templates and indexing controls for large collections of products, services, locations and entities — and aligned product and engineering teams on launch quality.

Led

Taxonomy and category architecture for a large retail catalog

Built the taxonomy, category architecture, internal linking and analytics for a retail catalog of tens of thousands of products.

Led

AI-search visibility measurement

Built measurement of brand visibility, citations and referral behavior across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI experiences, reviewed alongside organic search. This is visibility measurement — not a claim of AI-driven revenue or guaranteed AI mentions.

Anonymized examples from the founder’s work. Client names, figures and identifying details are withheld. Each label shows whether the work was implemented directly, led, or delivered with development and agency partners.

What you get

  • A prioritized findings report ranked by impact and effort — not by count
  • Implementation-ready tickets, or the changes themselves in your theme
  • Keyword-to-page map and site architecture recommendations
  • Structured data templates validated against live pages
  • AI visibility benchmark: where and how your brand appears today
  • Merchant Center and product feed diagnostics
  • Monthly reporting tied to commercial pages and revenue, not vanity rankings

Why it matters commercially

Less dependence on paid acquisition

Organic visibility on commercial pages lowers blended acquisition cost over time.

Fixes that actually ship

Because we can implement, recommendations do not stall in a backlog waiting for interpretation.

Protected revenue during change

Migrations, redesigns and replatforms are planned with search risk accounted for up front.

A clear view of AI search

You know how your brand and products appear in generative answers, and what can influence it.

Questions we hear often

Can you guarantee rankings or AI recommendations?

No — and you should be wary of anyone who does. Search engines and AI assistants decide what they show. We improve the factors you can control: technical health, content relevance, product data quality and brand consistency, and we measure the effect honestly.

What do AEO and GEO actually involve?

Answer engine and generative engine optimization focus on how AI systems understand and cite your brand: clear, consistent entity information, well-structured content that answers real questions, accurate product data in feeds, and technical accessibility for crawlers. It builds on solid SEO rather than replacing it.

Do you write content?

We set content strategy, map topics to pages and write detailed briefs. Production can be handled by your team or writers you already use; we can review drafts for search and accuracy.

How soon will we see results?

Technical fixes on important templates can show movement within weeks of being crawled. Content and authority work compounds over months. We agree leading indicators up front so progress is visible before revenue moves.
