E-commerce SEO Audit
E-commerce sites have SEO problems generic audits miss — faceted navigation eating crawl budget, thin product descriptions, and category pages competing with each other. This audit is built specifically for online stores.
What a E-commerce SEO Audit Covers
Every Contextread e-commerce seo audit reviews these six areas in detail.
Category Pages
Structure, content depth and keyword targeting for collections.
Product Pages
Duplicate descriptions, missing schema and thin content.
Faceted Navigation
Filter and sort URLs wasting crawl budget or creating duplicates.
Site Speed
Page weight from product images and third-party scripts.
Product Schema
Structured data for rich results — price, stock, reviews.
Indexation Bloat
Out-of-stock, seasonal and low-value pages indexed unnecessarily.
Do You Actually Need a E-commerce SEO Audit?
Category Pages Don't Rank
Competitors' collection pages outrank yours consistently.
Thousands of Thin Product Pages
Manufacturer descriptions copy-pasted across your store.
Filter URLs Flooding Search Console
Faceted navigation creating thousands of near-duplicate URLs.
Slow Product Image Load
High-res images tanking mobile page speed.
Seasonal/Out-of-Stock Pages Still Indexed
Dead pages diluting your site's authority.
Planning a Catalog Expansion
New product lines need SEO built in from the start.
E-commerce SEO Audit Pricing

AUDITED
How Long a E-commerce SEO Audit Takes
A small store takes 4 to 6 days. Mid-size catalogs take 8 to 14 days. Large catalogs with 5,000+ SKUs take 18 to 25 days including sample-based product review.
We sample, not audit every SKU
For large catalogs we audit a representative sample of product pages plus every category page — full SKU-by-SKU review is quoted separately.

What Happens After the Audit
An audit is only useful if the fixes get implemented. Here's what that looked like for one client.
Faceted nav cleanup recovered crawl budget
Filter combinations had created over 40,000 indexed duplicate URLs. Canonicalising and blocking low-value facets redirected crawl budget to real category pages.
