Trusted ecommerce solutions
Our Ecommerce SEO process begins with understanding your unique market demands, applying our expert strategies to elevate your online visibility and sales.
Keyword research
For our ecommerce clients, keyword research is all about zeroing in on those conversion-driven terms. We'll go the extra mile and delve into platforms like Google Ads to uncover keywords from your search history with buying intent, informed by solid conversion data. This isn't just about getting traffic; it's about getting the right kind of traffic that's ready to convert.
Keyword mapping and site architecture
We don't just find keywords; we map them meticulously to where they'll perform best. Whether it's product categories, collections, informative blog posts, or products, all are based on real-time search engine data. This ensures a customer lands on the perfect page, whether they are looking to learn about a product or are ready to buy it.
Content development
Content for ecommerce stretches beyond product descriptions and category page content; it also includes creating informative content that fits within your SEO strategy. We craft each piece with E-E-A-T - experience, expertise, authority and trustworthiness in mind. This ensures content engages and converts, balancing the fine line of meeting commercial goals whilst building trust.
Technical audit
Ecommerce sites are often larger and more complex than others. This comes with the added challenge that they more commonly face technical issues like broken links or duplicate links. Our technical audits spotlight these issues, allowing us to resolve them routinely and throughout your campaign.
Link building
Building links for ecommerce sites is tricky but full of unique opportunities, such as leveraging relationships with the brands you stock to collaborating with suppliers. Our approach is thorough and creative, seeking out every possible avenue to enhance your site’s authority and backlink profile.
Ongoing maintenance and Improvement
The digital landscape is always shifting, especially for online retailers. We keep a close eye on your site's performance and health, adapting strategies as needed to navigate any new SEO challenges. This continuous monitoring means we can swiftly address issues and capitalise on opportunities, keeping your store at the forefront of search results.

What our happy SEO clients have to say
SoundBay Pty Ltd has utilised the services of nimbl since 2015 and their advice has helped us achieve a threefold increase in our online revenue across our two websites storedj.com.au and mannys.com.au. Since they delivered on the work they did for us in July 2018, we have seen a 180% increase in Organic Search traffic to mannys.com.au. nimbl were able to provide us with a fee for service payment model rather than put us on a retainer, and they provided clear instructions for our internal web developer to implement the recommended changes.
JEREMY
SoundBay Pty Ltd
A high quality, professional digital marketing agency who provides us with both SEO and SEM support. They constantly look at ways to improve our organic and paid campaigns, and their monthly reports are detailed, yet can easily be interpreted by the non-savvy members within our business. Great value for money.

MELISSA
Allam Property Group
When we first contacted nimbl, we had a Google penalty which we weren’t even aware of! With nimbl’s help we were able to remove our penalty and restore what rankings we previously had, and gain new ones in the process.
We used to average 3-4 leads a month, now we’re at 35-40 – which is a considerable improvement and exceeded our business targets!

You might be wondering
What's the best platform for ecommerce SEO?
From our experience, WooCommerce (WordPress) and Shopify are ideal platforms for SEO. While we work across various platforms, these two we highly recommend for starting or switching your ecommerce store. While some agencies shy away from Shopify, don’t worry; we’ve navigated its complexities and know exactly how to leverage its features for full SEO benefit.
Is SEO important for an ecommerce store?
Absolutely, no question about it. A well-crafted ecommerce SEO campaign can deliver a steady stream of cost-effective sales and loyal customers. Unlike paid ads, where every click costs, organic traffic from search engines doesn’t cost you a cent, making SEO invaluable for long-term sustainable growth (even when factoring in management costs).
I'm migrating to a new ecommerce platform; can you help?
This is our bread and butter. Migrating ecommerce platforms is a critical moment for maintaining your SEO performance, and we’re here to ensure a smooth transition. We’ll keep a close eye on everything from URL structure to canonical tags and redirects, to preserve and even enhance your site’s SEO during the move.
Does your reporting include relevant stats for ecommerce?
Our reports can be tailored specifically to accommodate the needs of ecommerce. Using Google Looker Studio as our preferred platform, we provide detailed insights beyond standard SEO metrics, including add to carts, checkouts, sales revenue, transaction numbers, and checkout funnel activity. This means we can collaboratively fine-tune your strategy based on comprehensive data to maximise your store’s performance.
