SEO for online stores: the fundamentals

5 min read

Search is one of the most durable channels in e-commerce. You don't need tricks — you need clean foundations.

Technical foundations

  • Clean, canonical URLs so pages aren't duplicated.
  • Structured data (Product, Offer, Review, Breadcrumb) so results show rich snippets.
  • A sitemap and robots so crawlers find and prioritise the right pages.
  • Speed — Core Web Vitals are a ranking factor and a conversion factor.

Content that matches intent

Product and collection pages should answer what shoppers search for. Supporting content — guides, a glossary — captures earlier-stage intent.

Built in, not bolted on

A good storefront ships these foundations by default. CIQRA's storefront includes structured data, per-tenant sitemaps and a fast image pipeline — see Storefront.
