Shopify & Ecommerce SEO Case Study
SEO Analysis, Keyword Research, Content and On-Page Optimization Across Three Ecommerce Websites
Ecommerce SEO requires more than adding keywords to product pages. A successful ecommerce SEO strategy needs to connect the website structure, products, categories, content, search intent, and on-page optimization with the way potential customers search. My work with AquaTherapy, For My Garden, and Famous Designers for Lees gave me hands-on experience across these areas and across different ecommerce product categories. For these projects, my work included website analysis, SEO audits, keyword research, content writing, and on-page optimization. The objective was to identify relevant organic search opportunities and improve the ability of important pages to match those searches.
Adapting to Unique Business Models
Every ecommerce website has its own products, customers, competition, and search behavior.
Because of this, I do not apply the same keyword or content strategy to every store. I first analyze the website and the business to understand:
- What products the business offers
- Who the target customers are
- How potential customers search
- Which keywords are commercially relevant
- What search intent exists behind those keywords
- Which pages should target specific searches
- Where content needs improvement
- Which on-page elements require optimization
- Where the website has opportunities to gain greater organic visibility
This analysis forms the foundation for the SEO work.
Applied Strategy Across Three Brands
Practical implementation of analysis, auditing, and optimization.
AquaTherapy
Website Analysis, SEO Audit and On-Page Optimization. I conducted website analysis and an SEO audit to understand the site's existing search structure and identify areas for improvement. I then performed keyword research to identify relevant search opportunities and analyzed the intent behind those searches. The findings guided the content and on-page optimization work.
WORK PERFORMED:
- Website SEO analysis
- SEO audit
- Keyword research
- Search-intent analysis
- Content writing
- On-page optimization
- Page relevance improvements
The focus was to create stronger alignment between the website's pages, its offerings, and the searches potential customers use when looking for relevant products or information.
For My Garden
Ecommerce SEO Analysis and Content Optimization. I analyzed the website to understand its existing SEO structure and identify opportunities relevant to its products and target audience. Keyword research helped identify relevant search terms and provided insight into the intent behind those searches. I then used the research to guide content development and page-level optimization.
WORK PERFORMED:

Famous Designers for Lees
SEO Audit, Keyword Research and On-Page Optimization. I analyzed the website to identify SEO opportunities and areas where page relevance could be improved. Keyword research helped establish relevant search opportunities and understand the intent behind those searches. I then used those findings to guide content and on-page improvements.
WORK PERFORMED:

The project strengthened my experience in applying SEO research to ecommerce websites where product relevance, customer intent, content, and page optimization need to work together.
What These Projects Taught Me
Moving beyond basic keyword addition to a holistic commercial strategy.
Working across AquaTherapy, For My Garden, and Famous Designers for Lees gave me experience with different products, audiences, websites, and search environments. Although the core SEO activities were similar, each project required an approach based on the individual business.
- A high-volume keyword is not automatically the right keyword.
- A page with substantial content is not automatically optimized.
- Adding keywords to an ecommerce page does not solve a structural or search-intent problem.
Effective ecommerce SEO requires a connection between: Business objectives, Products and categories, Customer search behavior, Keyword opportunities, Search intent, Page structure, Content, On-page optimization, Internal linking, and Organic search visibility. These projects helped strengthen my ability to evaluate an ecommerce website from both the SEO and commercial perspectives.
My Ecommerce SEO Process
A structured approach that prioritizes business understanding over generic tasks.
Analyze the Website
I review the website structure, pages, products, categories, existing content, and current SEO condition.
Research Search Opportunities
I identify relevant keywords based on the products, target audience, competition, search behavior, and commercial relevance.
Analyze Search Intent
I determine what users expect to find for each search and which page should satisfy that intent.
Identify Content Opportunities
I evaluate existing content and identify areas where pages need stronger, more useful, or more relevant information.
Optimize Important Pages
I apply the research through content improvements and on-page SEO, including page structure, headings, metadata, relevance, and other appropriate elements.
Evaluate and Refine
I use available search data and SEO analysis to identify further opportunities and determine where additional optimization is needed.
Building Broader Shopify SEO Experience
Integrating technical resolution with search strategy.
These projects form part of my wider Shopify and ecommerce SEO experience. They complement my technical SEO work with Glowner and Roughcut Ceylon, where the primary focus was SEO auditing, technical issue diagnosis, and resolving problems affecting organic visibility. Together, these projects demonstrate different areas of my Shopify SEO experience.
Technical SEO and issue resolution:
