Ecommerce SEO

Ecommerce SEO Services for DTC and Retail Brands.

You rank for your brand name. That's not the problem. The problem is competitors are outranking you for key revenue terms while your site is structured around your product catalog instead of how buyers search.

For DTC brands, generic "more traffic" SEO makes it worse. You don't need bargain hunters. You need customers who come back. That means targeting the right categories, at the right intent, aligned to your unit economics.

Category-First SEO fixes this — recapturing non-branded rankings on Google and earning citations in AI search.

What We Fix

The Problems We Solve for Ecommerce Brands

Your category pages aren't winning the searches that drive revenue.

Your site is structured around your catalog, not around how buyers search your category. The same architectural gaps costing you organic rankings are now costing you LLM citations — AI search pulls from the same content Google does.

Your brand is invisible in AI search — or visible but not recommended.

LLMs are reading your site and citing your URLs as sources, but recommending other brands in the answer. Your content is discoverable. Your brand entity isn't clear enough for these systems to confidently recommend you.

Nobody owns the outcome.

You're spending $10K/month on SEO and nobody can tell you why organic revenue was flat last quarter. You don't need more reports — you need a team that owns strategy and execution in one place.

Your technical foundation has compounding gaps.

Indexation issues, missing structured data, crawl budget waste, broken internal linking. These aren't just slowing down crawlers — they're making your catalog partially invisible to every AI system trying to understand and recommend your brand.

The Process

How an Engagement
Works.

We start producing in week one. Most agencies spend the first month in "discovery." We use that time to ship Phase 1 deliverables while building longer-term strategy alongside them.

See our full methodology
01

Diagnose

We map your site's content against how buyers actually search your market. The 83-Point Website Health Audit + GEO Intelligence Report tells us where you're visible, where you're not, and what's blocking you.

02

Rebuild

Collection pages restructured around buyer search behavior. Product pages optimized for conversions and AI citation signals. Supporting content connected to your category architecture. Technical issues resolved so nothing blocks the work from compounding.

03

Scale

Content production accelerates as the architecture takes hold — AI is the production layer, not the strategy layer. PDP optimization expands your category coverage. AI visibility compounds alongside organic rankings.

"DCP is the only SEO shop I'll recommend to DTC ecommerce brands running Shopify. These folks know exactly what they're doing — and they have proven that time and time again."

Nick Eubanks

VP of Owned Media, Semrush

"Working with DCP resulted in some unexpected and happy-to-have pain points. We often find ourselves selling out of products or seeing a significant spike in sales for specific items. It's clear that DCP knows what they're doing."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We produce 3-5x the content output we did two years ago for the same investment — AI-assisted drafting, scaled PDP optimization, and LLM-informed content strategy. But AI is the production layer, not the strategy layer. Our senior SEOs do the analysis, prioritization, and editorial judgment. You get significantly more output per dollar without sacrificing the brand specificity that makes the work actually perform.

No. We own strategy, execution, and reporting. What we do need is a single point of contact with authority to approve content and flag business priorities — not an SEO expert, just someone who knows the brand and can make decisions without a committee. Most of our clients don't have a dedicated SEO hire internally. That's the point.

Yes. Our GEO methodology audits your brand's visibility across major LLM platforms, identifies why you're being cited but not recommended (or not showing up at all), and builds the structured content and entity signals these systems need to confidently recommend your brand. This isn't a separate service — it's built into how we approach your site architecture, content, and structured data from day one.

We start producing in week one. Site audit, competitive analysis, and the first round of content briefs happen in parallel — not sequentially. Most agencies spend the first month in "discovery." We use that time to ship Phase 1 deliverables while building the longer-term strategy alongside them.

We report on the metrics that actually matter to your business: non-branded organic revenue, category ranking positions, and LLM citation and recommendation rates across platforms. We don't send 40-page decks. We tell you what moved, what we're doing about what didn't, and what's next.

Primarily Shopify Plus. We also work with a few global brands on custom architecture and enterprise platforms where the technical foundation supports our methodology.

We take on 3–5 new partners per year.
