Ecommerce Specialist Audit

Ecommerce SEO Audit

Built for Product Catalogues, Category Pages, and Revenue Growth

Standard SEO audits check your website. This one checks your catalogue. Product schema validation, category architecture analysis, faceted navigation handling, thin product content detection, and crawl budget management, layered on top of 40 standard technical checks.

Works with Shopify, WooCommerce, and other platforms. Same price for 50 products or 5,000. The system renders JavaScript in a real browser, so dynamic stores are crawled exactly as Googlebot sees them.

Experience

Ecommerce SEO specialist White-label ready delivery
Shopify and WooCommerce experience

I built the ecommerce audit layer specifically because standard audit tools don't understand product catalogues. When you order an ecommerce audit, I'm the one who reads the product schema data, maps the category hierarchy, and interprets how the faceted navigation is handling filtered URLs. The platform-specific roadmap is written based on what the crawl actually found, not a template.

Why this matters

  • The ecommerce layer was built because generic tools don't validate product schema, check category depth, or audit faceted navigation, all three are critical for catalogue ranking
  • Platform-aware recommendations: Shopify's URL structure constraints require different fixes than WooCommerce's canonical handling issues
  • Every report is white-label ready, your client sees your agency brand, not BrightIQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the audit work for Shopify and WooCommerce?

Yes. The audit crawls both platforms with a full-browser Chromium crawler that renders JavaScript, so dynamically loaded product data is captured the same way Googlebot sees it. Platform-specific recommendations are included, Shopify and WooCommerce have different constraints around canonical handling, URL structure, and collection pages.

How many products does the audit cover?

The audit crawls up to 200 pages and applies all technical and ecommerce checks to every crawled URL. For large catalogues, crawl strategy is adjusted to prioritise category pages, top-revenue product pages, and faceted navigation samples. Same price regardless of catalogue size.

What makes this different from a standard SEO audit?

A standard audit checks page speed, meta tags, and crawl errors. This audit adds a dedicated ecommerce layer: product schema validation, category architecture analysis, faceted navigation handling, thin content detection at scale, and crawl budget distribution across the catalogue. These are the issues that actually determine whether product pages rank.

What do I receive at the end?

A branded PDF report with the full technical audit plus a dedicated ecommerce section. Includes a product schema report, category architecture map, internal link analysis, and a prioritised ecommerce roadmap with platform-specific fix instructions. Delivered within 24 hours of crawl completion.

Do I need to give you access to my store backend?

No backend access is needed. The crawler works from the public-facing store. Google Search Console access is recommended but optional, it improves prioritisation by showing which product pages are already receiving impressions.

Can agencies order this for their ecommerce clients?

Yes. The report is white-label ready, branded with your agency's logo, colours, and contact details. Your client sees your brand, not BrightIQ's. Bulk ordering for multiple stores is available.
