Ecommerce SEO is the work of making a catalogue crawlable, indexable and distinguishable, so that category and product pages compete instead of cannibalising one another.

Filters and sort parameters generate near-infinite URL variations. Left unmanaged they consume crawl budget on pages nobody should land on, while the pages that should rank wait to be recrawled.

Manufacturer descriptions appear identically across every retailer selling the item. A catalogue built on them has nothing to distinguish it, which is why category pages usually carry more ranking potential than product pages.

Out-of-stock and discontinued products are a decision, not an accident. Deleting a ranking URL discards the authority it earned; the right handling depends on whether the product returns.

How Rankure approaches it

The same disciplines as any ecommerce business engagement -- technical health, content that matches how buyers actually search, and local signals where a physical location is involved -- sequenced against the constraints above.

Reporting covers keyword position movement, organic traffic growth, organic lead volume, and revenue attributed to organic search.

Accounts stay in your ownership. Rankure works as a manager on them.
