Ecommerce SEO Agency in Seattle
You are competing with a marketplace headquartered down the road. Not on its terms, though.
Seattle brands sell to an audience that researches thoroughly and buys from whoever answers the question properly. 7SEA runs ecommerce SEO for Seattle Shopify stores: technical fixes, collection and product page work, and content that ranks on the specific searches marketplaces handle badly.
In short
What is ecommerce SEO in Seattle?
Ecommerce SEO in Seattle means picking the searches a marketplace cannot win. Broad product terms belong to Amazon and the large retailers. Specification, use-case and comparison searches belong to whoever explains the product properly, and that is where an independent store can rank and convert.

Where the work goes
Where the work goes for a Seattle store
Technical first, then collections, then content. Spending on content before a store can be crawled properly is the most common way ecommerce SEO budget disappears.
| Work | What it fixes | When it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Technical | Crawl, index, duplicate collections, faceted navigation, speed | 4 to 8 weeks |
| Collections | Specification and use-case pages built around how buyers search | 3 to 6 months |
| Products | Specification copy, schema and internal links on the pages that sell | 3 to 6 months |
| Content | Comparison and compatibility content, published a season ahead | 4 to 8 months |
| Links | Digital PR aimed at collection and product pages | Ongoing |

What is included
What the ecommerce SEO retainer covers, every month.
One scope, no add-on invoices later. Technical work is included rather than quoted separately once the audit finds something.
- Technical audit and the fixes, not just the list
- Crawl, index and speed issues resolved
- Collection pages built around how buyers search
- Product page titles, copy and schema
- Keyword map with cannibalisation cleaned up
- Internal linking across the catalog
- Buying guides and comparison content
- Product, FAQ and Breadcrumb schema
- AI search visibility and answer formatting
- Digital PR and link acquisition to money pages
- Google Search Console and analytics setup
- Monthly report on non-brand organic revenue
And what we will not do
- Buy links from networks or guest post farms
- Publish AI content at volume to hit a quota
- Report keyword rankings while revenue is flat
- Count brand searches as SEO results
- Promise a position or a timeline nobody controls
- Sell a rebuild when a targeted fix will do

Keyword and page map
Every commercial term assigned to one page, with existing cannibalisation cleaned up first.
Weeks 2 to 3
03

05

Questions
Ecommerce SEO questions.
If yours is not here, send it. We answer these on the first call anyway.
How much does ecommerce SEO cost in Seattle?
Seattle retainers for ecommerce SEO typically run $2,000 to $6,000 a month. Ours is scoped after the audit, based on catalog size and technical debt. You approve the number before anything starts, on a rolling 30-day contract.
How long does ecommerce SEO take to work?
Technical fixes can move impressions within four to eight weeks. Collection and product page rankings take three to six months, and competitive category terms take longer. Any agency promising page one in ninety days is describing a brand term.
What is the difference between ecommerce SEO and regular SEO?
Regular SEO optimises a handful of pages. Ecommerce SEO handles hundreds or thousands, where the problems are duplicate collections, faceted navigation, thin product copy and internal linking at scale. The tactics overlap, the execution does not.
Who writes the content, the agency or the brand?
We do. Collection copy, product descriptions, buying guides and comparisons are written and published by us, with your approval before anything goes live. Nothing stalls waiting on your team to send text.
Will you fix our technical issues or just tell us about them?
We fix them. The audit exists to decide what to do, not to hand you a PDF. Where a change needs your developer or a theme edit, we write the exact spec and review it after.
How do you measure ecommerce SEO results?
Non-brand organic revenue first, then assisted conversions, then rankings by page. Brand traffic is excluded from reporting, because counting it makes every SEO program look like it is working.
What is your ecommerce SEO process in Seattle?
Technical audit first, then a keyword and page map with cannibalisation cleaned up, then collection and product work, then content and links. The plan is shared for approval before any page is touched.
Can a small store outrank the big marketplaces?
Not on broad product terms, and in Seattle that marketplace is headquartered down the road. On specific product, specification and use-case searches, yes, and those buyers convert far better than generic traffic.
Which is better for an ecommerce store, SEO or paid ads?
Seattle brands usually arrive already skeptical of channels that stop working when the spend stops. Paid buys volume now, organic lowers blended cost over three to six months. The honest answer is that the mix depends on margin, not on preference.
Do you work with Shopify Plus stores?
Yes. Plus stores usually have larger catalogs, more collections and more historic technical debt, which is where most of the ranking opportunity sits. We are a Shopify Partner and work on both Shopify and Plus.
Send us the store and the collections you want ranking.
We will come back with what is blocking organic revenue, in writing, before you spend anything. No deck and no sales rep.
