We help US BigCommerce retailers doing $50K–$500K/month actually use the platform’s SEO controls — URL structure, faceted rules, category architecture — to turn a well-built store into a compounding organic revenue engine.

BigCommerce quietly gives you things Shopify still doesn’t — editable URL structures, native 301 management, real robots control. Almost no store uses them, and almost no agency knows they exist, so the platform’s biggest advantage sits switched off.
Filter combinations on the average store have climbed 40–70% in the last 24 months. Retailers that only buy clicks watch margins disappear — and most agencies’ answer is “spend more.”
“We had 90,000 filter URLs indexed and 400 category pages that mattered.” — BigCommerce Retailer, Midwest
Most agencies pitch BigCommerce, B2B SaaS, and local services with the same playbook. Faceted indexation, URL structure control, and multi-storefront SEO are a specialist discipline.
“Our previous agency had 40 clients and not one on BigCommerce.” — BigCommerce Retailer, Southeast
BigCommerce retailers spend $200K+ on gorgeous catalog pages with zero body copy, zero structured data, and zero ranking potential. Looks good in a portfolio. Doesn’t sell organically.
“We changed our URL structure and organic dropped 34%. Nobody planned the redirects.” — BigCommerce Retailer
Every filter combination is crawlable until someone configures otherwise. Google burns crawl budget on parameter URLs while your category pages wait — and rankings stall for reasons no content plan will fix.
Most BigCommerce stores rank for their brand name and little else — not the category terms that drive revenue. Organic only reaches people who already know them.
Years of URL edits, deleted categories and replatforming leave 404s, redirect chains and orphaned products. The authority those pages earned quietly drains away instead of pointing at what you sell now.
BigCommerce hosting is fast, but app scripts are not. Review widgets, chat, personalization and analytics tags stack up in the Stencil theme until LCP drifts past 3s — and Core Web Vitals drag the whole catalog down.
“Your BigCommerce store could be earning far more of its revenue from organic search. It's just not structured to.”
The starting point of every EcomOptix BigCommerce audit. Every one of these issues is fixable — none require a platform change. They require a BigCommerce SEO agency that treats indexation as a specialist discipline.
91%
of BigCommerce stores we audit have at least 3 of these 4 issues unfixed. EcomOptix audit data across 100+ ecommerce stores.
The same framework we deploy across every BigCommerce engagement — a single Stencil storefront or a multi-storefront B2B catalog. It draws on our ecommerce SEO, Shopify SEO, Magento SEO and ecommerce CRO services.
Faceted URLs, legacy 404s, sitemap bloat and default settings. We configure the platform-level controls that cap BigCommerce rankings.
Buying-intent keywords mapped to your category tree and product sets — across storefronts and B2B catalogs.
Growing catalogs need templates, not hand-written pages. We build category copy, product data and schema through Stencil so quality scales.
Real authority building (no PBNs) plus local visibility — so showroom searches and national demand both convert.
No black box. Every BigCommerce engagement follows the same 90-day deployment model.
Full technical audit of your Shopify or WooCommerce store. Full category keyword universe. Collection page architecture. Competitor category gap analysis. Paid spend audit. Conversion funnel review.
Collection page copy deployed. On-page optimization across products. Technical fixes live on production. Google Shopping feed alignment. First ranking movements tracked in national results.
Collection terms moving to page 1–3 in national SERPs. Organic sessions compounding. Attributed organic revenue visible in reports — orders from organic, not just sessions.
Every ranking, link, and piece of content compounds. Organic share of revenue grows, and paid dependency drops — without the revenue drop retailers fear when they cut spend.
No lock-in contracts. No “that’s an add-on”. Every EcomOptix BigCommerce SEO engagement includes all of this.
Indicative outcomes from real ecommerce engagements. Individual results vary by store, category, and competition.

★★★★★
Two agencies before EcomOptix gave me traffic reports. EcomOptix gave me revenue reports. By month 4, organic was 28% of our total revenue.
Laura K.
Founder · BigCommerce Retailer
★★★★★
They explained what was broken in our first audit and I immediately understood why two previous agencies had failed. Six months in, our collection pages rank on page 1 for our biggest category terms.
Marcus R.
CEO · BigCommerce Retailer
★★★★★
A team that actually understands BigCommerce — faceted URLs, Stencil, multi-storefront. That’s what I wanted, not another generalist pitching me their B2B SaaS playbook.

BigCommerce is our specialty, but not our only one. Explore the other store types we rank — or the specialist services we deploy on every engagement.
As a specialist BigCommerce SEO agency, we work on a platform that is genuinely well built for search — and almost always left on defaults. BigCommerce gives you editable URL structures, robots control, native 301s and clean canonicals, yet most stores ship with thin category pages and faceted URLs nobody configured. BigCommerce SEO services are about using the controls you already have.
BigCommerce category pages ship as a product grid and a title, which is not enough to rank against retailers who write real category content. We map commercial demand to your category tree, rebuild those pages with genuine copy and internal linking, and extend product, breadcrumb and review schema across the catalog through Stencil templates — not one page at a time. It builds directly on our ecommerce SEO and Shopify SEO work.
Faceted search is where most BigCommerce SEO leaks: every filter combination is crawlable unless you tell Google otherwise, and URL changes over the years leave 404s and orphaned products behind. We set faceted indexation rules, rebuild URL structure with proper 301 chains, clean the sitemap and robots directives, then cut app scripts and tune the Stencil theme for Core Web Vitals — which lifts rankings and conversion together — the same principle behind our conversion rate optimization work.
Yes. Yes. BigCommerce is a core specialty — we work across Stencil themes, multi-storefront setups, B2B Edition catalogs, and headless builds on Catalyst or a custom frontend. We don’t run the same playbook we’d use for a t-shirt store.
No — we work across ecommerce, but BigCommerce is where we’re strongest technically. That specialization means we already know which faceted URLs shouldn’t be indexed, where your redirects break, and which native controls you’re not using.
Most BigCommerce clients see ranking movement in months 2–3, with revenue attribution measurable from month 3. Indexation and redirect fixes often move first, so month 6 looks very different from month 3. Any agency promising page 1 in 30 days isn’t telling you the truth.
Yes — all of them. We work across BigCommerce — Stencil themes, multi-storefront, B2B Edition and headless builds.
Engagements are scoped to your catalog size and competition — from a one-time technical audit and roadmap to an ongoing retainer. We work with US BigCommerce retailers doing $50K–$500K/month.
Yes. Most BigCommerce engagements include Google Shopping feed alignment and Shopping feed optimization. The goal isn’t to kill paid — it’s to make it efficient while SEO reduces dependency over time.
We’ll audit your BigCommerce store’s technical SEO, map your biggest collection page opportunities, and show you what competitors rank for that you don’t — with no obligation.
Takes 30 minutes. US-based team. You keep the audit regardless.
