Honest fit check

Who needs category and product page SEO?

Better pages help most when the store is live and the catalogue is real. Here's who benefits, and who should look elsewhere first.

A great fit

Who it’s for

  • Good fit: Stores with thin collection pages

    Category pages are mostly a product grid with no heading, copy or internal links to rank on.

  • Good fit: Catalogues with templated product pages

    Manufacturer descriptions and copied titles make products look the same as every other seller.

  • Good fit: Pages competing with each other

    Several collections or products target the same search and none of them ranks well.

  • Good fit: Traffic that lands but doesn't buy

    Pages get visits, but the layout, copy and product information don't help shoppers decide.

  • Good fit: Growing or restructured catalogues

    New ranges, merged collections or a new navigation need a page plan before they go live.

  • Good fit: Teams who want a clear page brief

    You want titles, headings, copy and link guidance written for each template, not general advice.

Probably not a fit

Who it’s not for

  • Not a fit: Stores that haven't launched

    With no products or pages yet, build the catalogue first and bring us in before launch.

  • Not a fit: Anyone expecting guaranteed rankings

    Better pages improve your chances. They can't guarantee positions or traffic.

  • Not a fit: Sites with serious crawl or index problems

    If pages aren't being indexed, fix that first. Technical SEO is the better starting point.

  • Not a fit: Stores with only a few products

    A handful of pages rarely needs a dedicated page program. A one-off review may be enough.

  • Not a fit: Anyone after copy at scale for its own sake

    We write for pages that can rank and sell, not to fill every URL with text.

  • Not a fit: Businesses that don't sell online

    Our work is built around products, categories and carts.

Not sure which side you're on? We'll tell you honestly.

How we work

From search research to live pages

Four steps from keyword map to a reviewed page. Hands-on publishing and ongoing page updates are scoped separately.

  1. Step 1 of 4

    Research

    We match real searches to your pages.

    We review search demand for your collections and products, check how the pages currently rank, and decide which page should answer which search.

    • Group searches by shopper intent
    • Match each group to one collection or product
    • Find pages competing for the same search
    • Note gaps where no page exists yet
  2. Step 2 of 4

    Structure

    A page plan for each template.

    We set out how each category and product page should be laid out: headings, filters, copy blocks, product information and internal links.

    • Outline sections for each page type
    • Decide where copy sits around the product grid
    • Plan links to related collections and guides
    • Flag template changes your developer must make
  3. Step 3 of 4

    Write

    Titles, headings and copy for the pages that matter.

    We write titles, meta descriptions, headings and on-page copy for your priority pages, starting with the collections and products that matter most to revenue.

    • Titles and meta descriptions that match intent
    • Intro and supporting copy for collections
    • Product descriptions that answer buying questions
    • Product and breadcrumb markup guidance
  4. Step 4 of 4

    Review

    We check the pages and plan what's next.

    After publishing we check that the changes are live and rendering properly, then review performance and decide which pages to work on next.

    • Confirm titles, copy and links are live
    • Check pages are indexed and rendering
    • Review search performance by page
    • Pick the next pages to work on

How we compare

Why pages built for search and shoppers

Templates and plugins fill pages with filler. Pages that rank need a clear intent, useful copy and a path to purchase.

Category and product page FAQ

Category and product page SEO questions

Straight answers, including what we won't promise.

Ask us something else

Keyword-to-page mapping, titles and meta descriptions, headings, collection and product copy, internal links, and structured data guidance. The scope for your store depends on its size, platform and where pages currently fall short.

Category pages usually match broader searches such as "trail running shoes", while product pages match specific items and models. They need different structure, copy and links, and they shouldn't compete for the same search.

Often a short, useful block helps both shoppers and search engines understand the page, but only when it adds something. We recommend what to include and where it should sit, rather than adding text to every page by default.

We map each search to one page, then look for overlapping collections, tags and filters. The fix may be merging pages, changing a title, adjusting internal links or removing a page from search, depending on the case.

We write descriptions for your priority products and set up patterns your team can reuse. We don't write thin text for every URL, because copy that doesn't help a shopper rarely helps a page.

Yes. We also work with BigCommerce, Magento, headless storefronts and custom platforms, and write recommendations for what each platform allows.

We look at revenue, search demand and current visibility to pick the collections and products where better pages are most likely to matter. We confirm the list with you before work starts.

Depending on the engagement: a keyword-to-page map, page templates, written titles and copy for priority pages, internal link guidance and a review of how the pages are performing.

That depends on the scope we agree. Briefs and copy are delivered for your team, and hands-on publishing support can be added. It is agreed before any work starts.

No. Search engines decide rankings, and competition, authority and technical health all play a part. Stronger pages improve your chances and give shoppers more reason to buy.

It varies with catalogue size, competition and how quickly changes are published. We set expectations for your store when we scope the work.
