eCommerce Total Market Keyword Research

Your customers search a thousand ways. Your site should answer every one.

Most keyword research stops at a shortlist. Ours covers every search and every page your market needs, so you can see the exact size of your organic opportunity. Then we turn it into a site structure and metadata built around real demand, and our developers implement it without losing the visibility you’ve already earned.

Why a shortlist falls short

A keyword list is a fraction of your market

Shoppers search by category, by attribute, by brand and by problem, at every stage from browsing to buying. When research stops at the obvious terms, whole segments of demand have no page to land on, and your best-selling ranges can end up buried deep in the navigation.

A shortlist approach

10 to 50 core terms

Optimised in isolation. Tidy in a report, and a long way from how people actually shop.

Built for eCommerce

Research shaped around your range

Most keyword research starts from a tool and ends with a list of terms. Ours starts from your site and product range, so the research reflects how your customers actually shop your categories, and every segment of demand gets a page built to capture it.

Every keyword

Categories, attributes, brands and long-tail searches across your whole market, grouped into the segments your customers shop by.

Every required page

The pages your site needs to meet that demand, from top-level categories down to the specific segments nobody has built for yet.

The true opportunity

The exact size of your organic search opportunity, and how many impressions exist for your brand in this market.

A category your customers search for in volume should never sit three levels deep in your menu. The research makes sure it gets found.

Industries

Every category searches differently

How people search depends on what they’re buying. Our keyword research maps the way shoppers in your category actually describe what they want, so your structure follows the same logic.

How it works

Four phases, research through to launch

01 Research

Size the whole opportunity

In-depth consumer and keyword research to uncover every search term and every page your site and product range needs. At the end of it, you’ll know the exact size of your organic search opportunity and how many impressions exist for your brand in this market.

02 Architect

A structure Google and shoppers can follow

The research organised into a clear SEO architecture built around your eCommerce segments, with a nested URL and menu structure that is easier for Google to crawl and for customers to navigate.

03 Metadata

Every page ready to be found

Full site metadata for the new structure: page titles, H1s and meta descriptions, written from the keyword research so each page targets the demand it was built for.

04 Implement

Launch and keep what you’ve earned

Our SEO team works with our developers to implement the new structure on your site, taking care that the change has no negative SEO effects.

eCommerce segments

The missing piece of eCommerce

The research defines a page for every real segment of your market, each with its own place in the architecture and its own metadata. Once those pages exist, every channel can send traffic to them.

SEO

Organic visitors land on the exact page they searched for, ready to buy.

SEM

Paid landing pages match ad intent one to one, lifting Quality Score and conversion rate together.

Email

Campaigns and flows link straight to the segment they’re about.

Social Media Marketing

Social creative promising a specific product lands on a page that delivers it.
