SEO for eCommerce and Small Business Websites
Search work done by someone who also builds the sites and runs the stores — so the recommendations are things that can actually be implemented, not a list handed to someone else.
Published in The Nation, The Friday Times, The Express Tribune and Dialogues Review.
The problem
Most small business sites have the same handful of problems, and they're rarely exotic. Pages target phrases nobody searches for, or the same phrase repeatedly so they compete with each other. Titles and headings are written for the business rather than the buyer. Images are enormous, so the site is slow on the phones most visitors use.
Underneath that sits a harder issue: no clear picture of what people actually type when they have the problem the business solves. Without that, everything else is guesswork — and guesswork is expensive, because SEO is slow to show whether you guessed wrong.
What's included
Scoped to what the site actually needs, established by the audit rather than assumed up front.
Technical SEO
Crawlability, indexation, site speed, Core Web Vitals, structured data, mobile rendering — the foundations that cap everything else.
Keyword research
What your buyers actually search, mapped to intent, and matched to the pages that should own each term.
On-page optimisation
Titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal linking and copy — aligned to the keyword map.
Content strategy
What to publish, in what order, and how it links together so the site builds topical authority rather than isolated posts.
Local SEO
Google Business Profile, citations, NAP consistency and local schema, where the business serves an area.
Reporting
Rankings, traffic and — more importantly — enquiries, so it's clear whether the work is paying for itself.
How it works
Audit
A full technical and content review, delivered as a prioritised list rather than an undifferentiated dump of issues.
Fix
Technical problems resolved first — they cap the return on everything else.
Build
On-page work and content, sequenced by likely impact.
Measure
Ongoing reporting against the metrics agreed at the start.
