Category Searches
“Needlepoint belts,” “modern sofas,” “leather dog collars.” The highest-value pages on most stores.
SEO GONE WILD
SEO For Ecommerce Stores
Ecommerce SEO
Win the Searches Shoppers Make Before They Know Your Name
Most online shoppers search for a product, not a store: “embroidered belts for men,” “personalized dog collar,” “best gifts for golfers.” A store that only ranks for its own name is invisible to them.
SEO Gone Wild builds ecommerce SEO around how shoppers describe your products: category pages that match those searches, buying guides that link back to them and a steady flow of relevant links, measured in orders and revenue, not just rankings.

How Shoppers Search
Shoppers Search by Product, Not Brand
Only 2 of 178 searches in our accessories client's report included its brand name. Everything else was product demand.
Modifier Searches
“For men,” “personalized,” “handmade,” “under $50.” Each modifier is a buyer with a specific need.
Gift & Occasion
“Gifts for golfers,” “Christmas stocking ideas.” Seasonal demand worth planning months ahead.
Research Questions
“How to choose a belt size,” “how to clean needlepoint.” Guides that lead shoppers back to products.
