BigCommerce SEO: Achieve Measurable Growth
BigCommerce SEO is the foundation of sustainable online store growth. At Pearl Lemon, we understand that without a planned approach to search engine visibility, even the most well-designed BigCommerce stores can struggle to reach their full potential. Our services are created to address the unique challenges of the BigCommerce platform, ensuring that your store not only attracts traffic but also converts visitors into loyal customers.
We don’t offer generic solutions. Instead, we examine the details of your BigCommerce store, identifying areas for improvement and applying strategies that align with your business goals. From technical audits to content refinement, our complete approach ensures that every part of your store is ready for success.
Our BigCommerce SEO Services
Our range of services is designed to address every part of SEO, ensuring full coverage and measurable outcomes. Each service is created to meet the practical needs of e-commerce businesses using the BigCommerce platform.
Technical SEO Audit
We conduct a thorough analysis of your BigCommerce store to identify technical issues that may block search engine crawling and indexing. This includes examining site speed, mobile responsiveness, URL structures, and more.
Our audits go beyond surface-level diagnostics — we flag crawl issues, index bloat, and JavaScript-rendering problems that may affect visibility. We prioritize fixes based on severity and business value.
Keyword Research & Strategy
Understanding what your potential customers are searching for is essential. We perform detailed keyword research to find terms that match your products and have high search intent, ensuring your content reaches the right audience.
We target both short-tail and long-tail commercial keywords, map them to buyer journey stages, and build a logical keyword structure to support your product layout.
On-Page Optimization
We refine individual pages, including product and category pages, by adjusting meta titles, descriptions, headers, and content to match target keywords and improve relevance.
This includes editing heading structures, adding breadcrumb navigation, and refining internal anchor text to improve both relevance and crawl paths.
Content Development
Informative, valuable content not only brings in visitors but also builds trust. We create blog posts, guides, and other materials that connect with your audience and support your SEO objectives.
We plan content around transactional and informational keyword gaps, structure it to support SEO groupings, and align it with seasonal retail trends or product launches.
Link Building
Quality backlinks are a key ranking factor. We create a link-building plan to gain links from respected websites that improve your store’s trust and rankings.
Our outreach includes digital PR, unlinked brand mentions, guest contributions, and vendor relationships — all focused on gaining editorial links from relevant sites.
Local SEO
For businesses focusing on specific areas, we improve your store’s visibility in local search results using geo-targeted keywords and listings.
We build and manage citations, improve your Google Business Profile, implement location-specific schema, and create local content to lead city-based searches.
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
Attracting traffic is only part of the solution. We study user behavior to find points of friction and make changes that encourage visitors to buy.
This includes A/B testing product layouts, reducing checkout friction, and using data to uncover causes of cart abandonment.
Analytics & Reporting
Transparency is important. We offer consistent reports showing performance, goal progress, and insights to guide future actions.
Reports include keyword rankings, traffic by page, backlink improvements, and user behavior — all connected to ecommerce metrics like revenue, average order value, and conversions.
Solving Common BigCommerce SEO Problems
BigCommerce stores often face unique SEO issues that can reduce visibility and sales. Our experience helps us spot and fix these problems before they impact rankings or earnings.
- Duplicate Content: We use canonical tags and unique content planning to avoid duplicate penalties. This includes managing product variations, pagination, and filtering setups that often produce unnecessary duplicates.
- Slow Site Speed: By compressing images, using CDNs, and reducing code, we improve load times. We also review third-party apps and scripts that often slow down rendering and lower Core Web Vitals scores.
- Poor Mobile Experience: We make sure your store is fully responsive, providing a smooth experience across all devices. Our checks include mobile UX details like tap size, layout shift, and mobile-specific speed issues.
- Unclear URL Structures: We clean up URLs to be readable, focused, and keyword-friendly. Each URL is planned based on search intent — no extra parameters, built for crawl efficiency, and better indexing.
