QUICK ANSWER
The short version
Ecommerce SEO is search optimisation for online stores. It focuses on category pages, which target broad commercial queries, and product pages, which target specific ones. It also covers faceted navigation, index bloat, product schema, internal linking across a large catalogue, and site speed on template-heavy platforms.
How it differs from standard SEO
In scale and structure. A brochure site has twenty pages. A store can have fifty thousand, most of them near-duplicates generated by filters and variants, and managing what gets indexed is often more valuable than optimising any single page.
CATEGORY FIRST
Most agencies optimise product pages and wonder why nothing moves. The commercial query is “womens running shoes”. That is a category page. “Nike Pegasus 41 size 9 blue” is a product page and it converts, but almost nobody searches it.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Copy, headings, internal linking, and the content Google needs above and below the product grid.
Titles, descriptions, unique content on variant pages, and removal of manufacturer boilerplate fifty other stores are also using.
The single biggest technical problem in ecommerce SEO. Filter combinations generate thousands of near-duplicate URLs. Deciding what's indexed, canonicalised or blocked is most of the job.
Price, availability, rating, review, shipping. Correctly implemented, this drives rich results.
App bloat and plugin bloat, respectively. Both are fixable.
Ecommerce link building has its own dynamics and is a separate discipline.

FAQ
What is ecommerce SEO?
Search optimisation for online stores, focused on category pages, product pages, faceted navigation, index management, product schema and site speed.
What does an ecommerce SEO specialist do?
They optimise category and product pages, control what gets indexed across a large catalogue, implement product schema, fix faceted navigation, and manage site speed on template-heavy platforms.
Is ecommerce SEO different from normal SEO?
Yes, in scale and structure. A store can have tens of thousands of URLs, most generated by filters and variants. Deciding what gets indexed is often worth more than optimising any single page.
Which is more important, category pages or product pages?
Category pages. They target the broad commercial queries people actually search. Product pages convert but attract far less search volume.
Do you do Shopify SEO?
Yes, including app bloat and theme speed.
Do you do WooCommerce SEO?
Yes, including plugin bloat, which is the WooCommerce equivalent problem.
What is faceted navigation and why does it matter?
Filters on a category page. Each combination can generate a unique URL. Left unmanaged, this produces thousands of near-duplicate pages and wastes crawl budget on URLs that should never be indexed.
Do you do off-page SEO for ecommerce?
Yes. Ecommerce link building has its own dynamics and it is a separate discipline.
