Why Your Online Store Is Not Growing Organically

Products not ranking on Google

Your products appear on page 5+ while competitors dominate the top results for the same items.

Fully dependent on paid ads

Every sale costs money in Google Ads or Facebook Ads — the moment you pause, sales stop.

Thin product descriptions

Manufacturer copy or one-line descriptions give Google nothing to rank. Unique, optimized content wins.

Technical SEO issues

Duplicate pages, slow load times, missing schema, and crawl errors are silently killing your rankings.

Unoptimized category pages

Category pages are often the highest-value SEO assets in e-commerce — yet most stores ignore them.

No backlink strategy

Without authoritative sites linking to your products, Google has no reason to rank them over established competitors.

E-commerce SEO: Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help a Shopify or WooCommerce store?

Yes. We specialize in SEO for both Shopify and WooCommerce (WordPress), the two most common e-commerce platforms in Africa. We handle platform-specific technical SEO, app/plugin configuration, and structured data implementation for rich search results.

How is e-commerce SEO different from regular SEO?

E-commerce SEO requires optimizing hundreds or thousands of product pages simultaneously, handling duplicate content from faceted navigation and product variants, implementing e-commerce schema (Product, Review, Price, Availability), and building category-level authority. It also requires understanding purchase-intent keywords vs. informational queries.

How long does e-commerce SEO take?

Technical fixes show improvement within 4–8 weeks. Product and category keyword rankings typically improve significantly within 4–6 months. Content-based authority building compounds over 12+ months — the longer you invest, the more sustainable the results become.

Can I compete with Jumia and Konga on Google?

You cannot outrank marketplace giants for broad category terms. But you can — and should — dominate specific product searches, niche categories, and branded product queries where your store has distinct advantages. We identify exactly where to compete to maximize your ROI.

How much does e-commerce SEO cost?

Our e-commerce SEO packages start from 200,000 FCFA/month (approximately $325 USD) depending on store size, number of product categories, and competition level. We provide a detailed custom quote within 48 hours.
