Description

Service E-commerce SEO: technical search work for online stores

E-commerce SEO is mostly URL control and product data. A store's filters, variants, sort orders and pagination can generate far more URLs than it has products, and Google has to be told which ones matter. WavX audits each page type, sets the indexing rule for it, fixes product markup and feeds, and reports the result. Rankings and rich results cannot be promised.

Why a store is a different SEO problem

A brochure site has as many URLs as it has pages. A store does not. One category of 200 products, with filters for size, colour, brand and price, three sort orders and paginated results, can produce many thousands of distinct URLs that all show overlapping lists of the same 200 products.

Google's documentation for e-commerce sites names what goes wrong:

Duplicate crawling. Different URLs return the same content, and the crawler fetches it repeatedly without knowing it is the same.

Infinite spaces. URLs that contain changing values make a site look as if it has no end.

Slower discovery. Google's guidance on faceted navigation says that crawling spent on useless URLs leaves less time for new, useful ones.

Missed content. Variants or pages that have no URL of their own, or that are reachable only through a search box or a button, may never be found.

So the first job is not keywords. It is deciding, for every type of URL the store can generate, whether Google should index it, fold it into another URL, or not crawl it at all.

What WavX does

Filters (faceted navigation)

If filtered URLs are not needed in Search, prevent crawling with robots.txt rules, or build the filters on URL fragments. If they are needed: use & between parameters, keep filters in a consistent order, and return a 404 when a combination has no results

Lists every filter parameter, decides which combinations deserve a real category page, and blocks or consolidates the rest

Variants

Each variant needs its own URL, as a path segment or a query parameter. A fragment after # is treated as the same page. With an optional parameter, the URL without it is the canonical

Checks that each size and colour can be opened directly by URL, sets the canonical, and adds ProductGroup markup

Pagination

Give each page its own URL and link the pages with <a href> links. Do not make page 1 the canonical for the whole series. Google no longer uses rel="next" and rel="prev"

Fixes canonicals on paginated lists and makes sure page 2 onwards can be reached by a crawler

Load more and infinite scroll

Google's crawlers do not click buttons and generally do not trigger scripts that need a user action

Adds crawlable paginated URLs behind the button or the scroll

Site structure

The more internal links a page has, the higher its relative importance within the site. Link from menus to categories, to sub-categories, to products. Googlebot generally does not submit searches into a search box

Finds products that no category links to, and corrects the navigation or adds them to the sitemap and feed

URL parameters

Use key=value pairs. Do not link internally to URLs with session IDs or tracking codes

Removes tracking parameters from internal links and standardises parameter format

Product data

Use structured data on product pages and a Merchant Center feed together

Audits both, and checks that price and availability agree across the page, the markup and the feed

Removed products

URLs that return a 4xx code are dropped from the index

Sets a rule for discontinued and out-of-stock products: keep, redirect to a true replacement, or retire

Product markup in more detail

Google has two classes of product result. Merchant listings are for pages where a shopper can buy the product. Product snippets are for product pages that do not sell directly, such as reviews. A store's product pages aim at the first.

For a merchant listing, Google requires a name, an image, and an offer with a price above zero and a currency given as a three-letter ISO 4217 code, which is INR for a store pricing in rupees. Recommended properties include availability, brand, product identifiers such as GTIN and SKU, ratings and reviews, shipping details and the return policy. Only pages that focus on a single product are eligible, so category and listing pages are not.

For variants, the ProductGroup type ties the versions of one product together using variesBy , hasVariant and productGroupID . Google's condition is that the site can preselect each variant directly with a distinct URL.

Review markup has its own rules: the reviews must be visible on the page, and fake or undisclosed incentivised reviews are prohibited. The implementation method is described under structured data .

The store audit: what you receive

The audit is the first deliverable and can be bought alone.

A URL inventory by page type , with the count of each: home, category, filtered category, paginated category, product, variant, internal search, cart and account pages.

An indexing decision for each type , in a table like the one below.

A list of orphaned products : in the catalogue but not linked from any category.

A product data comparison : page, markup and feed, with every mismatch in price, availability or identifier.

Field speed data for the category and product templates. Store pages are heavy with images and scripts, so this usually leads on to Core Web Vitals work .

A fix list , with each item marked urgent, important or minor and assigned to a template.

This is the layout of the indexing decision table. The entries are common starting positions, not rules; the right answer for a store depends on what its customers search for.
