Ecommerce SEO Agency in London & Leeds | The Media People
Ecommerce

An ecommerce SEO and marketing agency measured against revenue, not ROAS.

Your SEO, paid search, marketplaces and CRM should run as one plan, judged on what it adds to revenue. We’re an independent ecommerce marketing agency in London and Leeds, and we build that plan on product data that Google and AI shopping answers can read.

Ecommerce marketing

Most ecommerce reporting flatters itself.

Can anyone in the room say what the media did to revenue?

Paid reports its ROAS. Organic reports its sessions. Each platform claims the same sale in its own way, and the total rarely matches the till. We plan search, marketplaces, social and CRM against one revenue number, so you can see what each channel adds.

Measuring revenue

Why does channel-level ROAS mislead ecommerce brands?

Channel-level ROAS misleads ecommerce brands because every platform reports the version of success that flatters it, using its own attribution window. Add up what three platforms claim and you’ll often find more revenue attributed than the business made.

 

ROAS also ignores which customers you’re acquiring. A campaign at 3x that acquires customers who never come back is worse than one at 1.5x whose customers buy four times a year. Judge both on the platform metric and you’d scale the wrong one, and feel good about it. The fix isn’t a better dashboard. It’s one consistent measurement basis across every channel.

Ecommerce SEO

How does ecommerce SEO get products recommended by AI?

Ecommerce SEO now has two places to win: the category and product results in Google, and the two or three products an AI shopping answer names. Both depend on product information a machine can read and verify.

Comparison is exactly the task people now hand to a model: the shortlisting, spec-matching and price-checking that used to happen across several retailer sites and a dozen open tabs. The answer doesn’t return a page of options, so being on the shortlist is what counts. Five things make it more likely.

Paid and organic search

How should ecommerce PPC and SEO work together?

Ecommerce PPC and SEO compete by default when separate teams run them against separate targets. Run them as one search channel and you decide which one owns each query. Three things change. For most ecommerce accounts, the result is similar revenue on less spend.

Stop paying twice

Paid stops funding terms organic already wins.

Where you already hold the top organic position, paid search no longer buys the same click again. The overlap between the two channels becomes visible for the first time, and the budget it frees goes where it can earn something new.

Search term data shows which pages to build.

Paid keyword data tells you which category and comparison content is worth creating, because it shows what shoppers search for and what converts. So new category and comparison pages are built for proven demand, not guesses.

Organic shows where paid adds new demand.

Organic performance shows where paid is buying incremental demand and where it's buying clicks you'd have won anyway. That's the difference between spend that grows revenue and spend that only moves it from one report to another.

Ecommerce channel planning

Which channels belong in an ecommerce plan?

 
An ecommerce plan gives every channel a defined job, from first discovery to repeat purchase. Marketplaces deserve particular attention: for plenty of product categories the search journey now starts on Amazon, not Google, which makes marketplace visibility a search problem and not a sales-channel afterthought. 
Channel
Role in an ecommerce plan
Organic search and AI search
Category, comparison and question demand, at zero marginal cost
Paid search and shopping
Capturing high-intent demand organic can't reach
Marketplaces
Amazon and category marketplaces, where many shoppers now start their search
Paid social
Discovery and product demonstration for people not yet looking
Programmatic
Prospecting and retargeting, with frequency properly controlled
CRM and email
Repeat purchase, which is where the margin usually sits
Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

The questions ecommerce teams ask us most about SEO, paid search, marketplaces and what media does to revenue.

What does an ecommerce SEO agency do?

An ecommerce SEO agency gets your category and product pages ranking in Google and makes your product information easy for AI shopping answers to read and trust. That means technical fixes so crawlers can reach your catalogue, complete product data and schema, category and comparison content, and reviews and coverage that back up your claims.

Yes. Ecommerce SEO is worth it for much the same reason owning premises beats renting them. Paid stops the moment the budget does. Organic and AI visibility compound, and they cover the research and comparison stages, where paid is expensive and poorly targeted.

Lifetime value gets into acquisition decisions when CRM and repeat-purchase data feed back into media planning, so bidding and budgets reflect what a customer is worth over time, not just on their first order. It’s the most common gap we find in ecommerce accounts.

Yes, we work with Shopify, WooCommerce and other ecommerce platforms. The platform matters far less than whether it produces clean, crawlable, well-structured product data. Most platforms can. Most implementations don’t.

Usually, yes, but with clear eyes about the trade. Marketplaces such as Amazon bring reach, and they take the customer relationship and the data with them. Whether it’s worth it depends on your margin and on how much repeat purchase is worth in your category.
