Industry 03 · E-Commerce

E-Commerce marketing that
respects the constraints.

Most stores do not have a traffic problem. They have a margin problem hiding behind a traffic problem — and the fix is usually conversion, retention and feed quality rather than another acquisition channel.

What actually gets in the way

The three constraints
that shape this sector.

01

Faceted navigation eating crawl budget

Filter combinations generate thousands of near-duplicate URLs. We control what is crawlable and indexable so search engines spend their budget on pages that sell.

02

Acquisition cost rising faster than AOV

If repeat purchase rate is flat, every acquisition improvement is temporary. Retention work is where e-commerce margin actually lives.

03

Feeds are treated as a set-and-forget job

Enriched titles, attributes, custom labels and supplemental feeds routinely outperform bid tinkering on Shopping and Performance Max.

FAQ

E-Commerce questions,
answered plainly.

Fix crawl and index control on faceted navigation first, then structured data on products and collections, then category page content that serves buyers rather than search engines. Most stores skip straight to blogging while the money pages remain technically broken.

Usually yes, with clear rules. Marketplaces buy reach at the cost of margin and customer relationship. Use them for discovery and clearance, keep your best margin and lifecycle work on your own store.

It depends heavily on category and replenishment cycle, so benchmarks mislead. Track your own 90-day and 365-day repeat rate by acquisition cohort and channel — the trend and the cohort differences tell you far more than an industry average.

Between £18,000 and £60,000 for most mid-market builds, depending on catalogue complexity, merchandising rules and integrations. Headless builds start around £35,000 and should only be chosen to solve a constraint you can name.
