Why is ecommerce SEO different from regular SEO?
Ecommerce SEO is an architecture problem before it is a content problem. A store has hundreds or thousands of URLs — products, variants, collections, filters — and most of your organic revenue comes from collection (category) pages targeting commercial keywords, not blog posts. The biggest wins are usually structural: a clean collection-page taxonomy mapped to how buyers search, descriptive intro copy and FAQ schema on category pages, and internal linking that flows authority from your homepage to money pages instead of stranding them.
The second difference is scale-driven waste. Faceted navigation (size, color, price filters) generates near-infinite low-value URL combinations that burn crawl budget and create duplicate content. Managing what gets indexed — canonical tags, parameter handling, selective noindex on thin filter pages — often unlocks more growth than any new article, because it lets Google spend its crawl on the pages that actually convert.
