7 Best SEO Companies for Ecommerce in 2026

Quick comparison

The best SEO companies for ecommerce

#1

SmartSites

Best for: Small and mid-size stores that want SEO, PPC and web design from one large team with a published price

Visit smartsites.com

Starting price$2,600/month (SEO plans start at $2,600/month; 40 hours at $65/hour)

Free planYes — free consultation

SmartSites leads this list because the price is public: SEO plans start at $2,600 a month for 40 hours at $65 an hour, with free setup and a written proposal after a consultation. The same team covers PPC, web design, social and email, so one vendor fixes site and rankings. Reporting runs through a live Client Hub, and technical audits with fixes are part of every plan.

The honest limit is the hourly floor: 40 hours a month is a real commitment for a small store, whether the catalog needs them or not. Breadth is the other trade-off — a team that also sells PPC and web design will not go as deep on Shopify-only catalog mechanics as an ecommerce-only shop. For a store that wants one accountable team and a price in writing first, it is the choice.

What we like

• SEO plans start at $2,600/month for 40 hours at $65/hour, with free setup — the clearest rate card among the full-service agencies here
• Full-service team under one roof: SEO, PPC, web design, social and email, with a live Client Hub for reporting
• Technical SEO audits and fixes are part of every plan, with 1,100+ sites audited in the last three years, per SmartSites

Watch out for

• The 40-hour monthly minimum means small stores pay for hours they may not need
• Breadth across channels means less Shopify-only depth than the ecommerce-only agencies here

#2

Searchbloom

Best for: Mid-size Shopify and Shopify Plus stores that want SEO tied to organic revenue, with no long contract

Visit searchbloom.com

Starting price$3,000/month (SEO starts at $3,000/month; no lengthy contracts)

Free planYes — free marketing plan and consultation

Searchbloom is the revenue-reporting pick. SEO starts at $3,000 a month with no lengthy contracts, and the agency reports results in organic revenue rather than traffic alone — the number a store owner actually cares about. The work runs on its A.R.T. framework, covering authority, relevance and technology as one system, with Shopify Plus depth across Shopify, BigCommerce and Magento.

A separate MERIT framework covers AI search, and Peec AI tracks citations and share of voice. The trade-offs are scope and breadth: $3,000 a month is the floor, and the price rises with locations and competition, so a national store pays more than a single-market one. There is also no web design or development arm, so a rebuild needs a second vendor.

What we like

• SEO starts at $3,000/month with no lengthy contracts — a published floor, rare among agencies this size
• Reports results in organic revenue, not just traffic, with Shopify Plus depth across Shopify, BigCommerce and Magento
• A.R.T. framework (Authority, Relevance, Technology) plus a MERIT framework for AI search, with Peec AI tracking citations and share of voice

Watch out for

• No web design or development arm, so store rebuilds need a second vendor
• The $3,000 floor is above the cheapest entry here, and scope rises with locations and competition

#3

RedBat

Best for: Established Shopify, WooCommerce and BigCommerce stores doing $250K–$10M a year that want a fixed monthly scope

Visit redbat.agency

Starting price$2,500/month (Core ecommerce SEO package)

Free planYes — free SEO audit

RedBat is the cheapest published entry here, and the most ecommerce-only: Core is $2,500 a month, Growth $5,000 and Scale $10,000, each with a sample scope shown on the page. The agency works with stores doing $250K to $10M a year on Shopify, WooCommerce and BigCommerce, and it states a 10:1 return target rather than a traffic goal. Every package starts with a free audit.

Month one is covered by a money-back guarantee, which lowers the risk of the first engagement. The honest caveat is size: RedBat is a smaller, newer agency than the US names in this list, with a thinner public review footprint, so there is less third-party evidence to check. The published scopes are also samples, not fixed lists — the exact plan is set after the audit.

What we like

• Publishes three ecommerce SEO packages — Core $2,500, Growth $5,000, Scale $10,000 a month — with sample scopes shown
• Ecommerce-only, built for stores doing $250K to $10M a year, with a stated 10:1 return target
• Month one is covered by a money-back guarantee, and every package starts with a free audit

Watch out for

• A smaller, newer agency than the US names here, with a thinner public review footprint
• Sample scopes are indicative, not fixed — the exact plan is set after the audit

#4

HigherVisibility

Best for: SMB to mid-market ecommerce brands that want strategy tied to revenue, with real-time reporting

Visit highervisibility.com

Starting priceCustom quote (no published pricing)

Free planNo — free custom proposal

HigherVisibility is the award-winning pick: Search Engine Land named it SEO Agency of the Year, and its Targeted Growth System ties SEO, PPC, CRO and web design to revenue instead of vanity metrics. The InSite Dashboard gives real-time campaign visibility through direct Google Analytics integration, so you are not waiting for the monthly call to know what is happening.

Ecommerce SEO runs across Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce and WooCommerce, with franchise and local SEO available from the same team. The gap is price transparency: nothing is published, so the first number comes from a custom proposal after a discovery call. For an SMB or mid-market brand that wants one team for search, paid and CRO, it is the most decorated choice.

What we like

• Named SEO Agency of the Year by Search Engine Land, with a proprietary Targeted Growth System tying SEO, PPC, CRO and web design to revenue
• InSite Dashboard gives real-time campaign visibility through direct Google Analytics integration
• Ecommerce SEO across Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce and WooCommerce, plus franchise and local SEO from the same team

Watch out for

• No published pricing — every engagement is custom-scoped, so you cannot budget before a call
• Full-service breadth means deep technical work on complex headless builds may need a specialist

#5

Inflow

Best for: Established online retailers that want ecommerce specialists plus CRO, with direct access to senior staff

Visit goinflow.com

Starting priceCustom quote (no published pricing)

Free planNo

Inflow has focused on ecommerce since 2007, pairing SEO with paid media and CRO so ranking gains turn into sales rather than sessions. There are no account managers: clients work directly with specialists, and the agency claims 135-plus years of combined experience across the team. The work is platform-agnostic, covering Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and custom builds.

Migrations and technical SEO are core strengths, which matters when a replatform is on the horizon. The trade-off is access: there is no published price, so scopes are customized per brand and budgeting starts with a call. For a mature retailer that wants senior people on the account and CRO beside SEO, Inflow is the specialist choice.

What we like

• Ecommerce-focused since 2007, pairing SEO with paid media and CRO so ranking gains turn into sales
• No account managers — clients work directly with specialists, with 135+ years of combined experience across the team, per Inflow
• Platform-agnostic: strategists work across Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and custom builds

Watch out for

• No published pricing — scopes are customized per brand, so budgeting starts with a call
• Economics fit established stores better than small stores testing SEO for the first time

#6

Titan Growth

Best for: Midmarket and enterprise stores that want predictive, technology-led SEO for large catalogs

Visit titangrowth.com

Starting priceCustom quote (no published pricing)

Free planNo

Titan Growth is the technology-led pick. Its patented TitanBOT simulates search-engine crawls, testing how changes should affect rankings before they go live, and TitanBOT Nucleus maps internal links and site architecture to find opportunities in large catalogs. The team is triple-certified, the agency is a Google Premier Partner, and it has been in business since 2004.

Named clients include Sitecore and Mikimoto, and SEO, PPC, content and CRO come under one roof. The honest limit is transparency: no price is published, so every engagement is custom-scoped after a consultation, and the value depends on TitanBOT's simulations matching live search behavior. For a large catalog where crawl and architecture problems dominate, it is the most technical choice.

What we like

• Patented TitanBOT technology simulates search-engine crawls to test changes before they go live
• Triple-certified team and Google Premier Partner status, with 20+ years in business since 2004
• SEO, PPC, content and CRO under one roof, with named clients including Sitecore and Mikimoto

Watch out for

• No published pricing — every engagement is custom-scoped after a consultation
• The technology-led pitch means results depend on TitanBOT's simulations matching live search behavior

#7

Straight North

Best for: Small and mid-size ecommerce brands that want full-service SEO with lead and revenue tracking

Visit straightnorth.com

Starting priceCustom quote (no published pricing)

Free planYes — free custom SEO audit

Straight North is the veteran of this list, in business since 1997 with more than 100 in-house specialists across SEO, PPC, web design and creative. Ecommerce SEO covers keyword strategy, content, technical fixes and link acquisition, and the GoNorth! reporting platform tracks rankings, traffic, calls and conversions in one dashboard. A free custom SEO audit comes before any commitment.

GEO services cover AI search visibility, and monthly reports detail the work and the results. The gap is pricing: nothing is published, so campaigns are custom-built and the first number comes from a proposal. For a small or mid-size brand that wants a steady, full-service partner with 25-plus years behind it, Straight North is the safe choice.

What we like

• In business since 1997, with 100+ in-house specialists across SEO, PPC, web design and creative
• GoNorth! reporting platform tracks rankings, traffic, calls and conversions in one dashboard
• Free custom SEO audit before you commit, and GEO services for AI search visibility

Watch out for

• No published pricing — campaigns are custom-built, so the first number comes from a proposal
• Lead-generation heritage means pure ecommerce merchandising depth is thinner than the ecommerce-only agencies here

What the best SEO company for ecommerce actually does

The best SEO company for ecommerce does four jobs at once: it fixes the technical base of the store, it gets category and product pages found for the searches shoppers actually make, it builds the authority that lets those pages rank, and it reports the result in orders, not sessions. People search for this category as an ecommerce SEO company, an ecommerce SEO agency and SEO for online stores, and they all mean the same thing: someone else runs search for the store.

A store is not a blog with a checkout attached. The catalog creates SEO problems a content site never sees: faceted navigation that spawns thousands of near-duplicate URLs, product variants that split ranking signals, on-site search pages that waste crawl budget, and feeds that drift out of sync with what Google shows. The agencies in this list earn their fees on that plumbing first — crawl, indexation, speed, schema and feed alignment — and only then on content and links. Our guide to SEO for ecommerce explains the same mechanics from the store owner's side.

One number sets the budget for this whole category: Ahrefs' 2026 data puts the average agency SEO retainer at $3,209 a month. The published starting prices in this list sit just under that average — $2,500 to $3,000 a month — while the custom-quote agencies typically start higher. That is the honest shape of the market: a credible ecommerce program costs a few thousand a month, and anything far below that is either a narrow scope or a junior team.

Published-price agencies first

Three of the seven agencies here publish a monthly starting price, and that is where most buyers should start. RedBat is the cheapest published entry at $2,500 a month for its Core ecommerce package, with Growth at $5,000 and Scale at $10,000. SmartSites starts at $2,600 a month for 40 hours of SEO work at $65 an hour, with free setup. Searchbloom starts at $3,000 a month with no lengthy contracts. All three put the number on their own site, so you can budget before the first call and compare scopes side by side.

A published price is not just convenient — it changes what you can check. RedBat shows a sample monthly scope for each tier, so you can see that Core means roughly five page optimizations, five new pages and five backlinks a month. SmartSites states the hourly math behind its floor, so you know the $2,600 buys 40 hours and can ask what those hours cover. Searchbloom's floor comes with no lengthy contract, so the commitment is a month, not a year. When the price is public, the scope is usually public too.

One note on RedBat's price: some third-party listings still show older tiers of $2,000, $3,000 and $5,000 a month. RedBat's own packages page now lists Core at $2,500, Growth at $5,000 and Scale at $10,000, and the $2,500 figure in this list is the live one. If a directory quotes a lower number, trust the agency's own page.

Custom-quote agencies, and what the quote buys

The other four agencies quote every engagement custom: HigherVisibility, Inflow, Titan Growth and Straight North. None of them publishes a starting retainer, and that is normal at this end of the market — the price depends on catalog size, platform, competition and how much technical work the store needs, and no honest agency fixes a number before seeing the site.

What the quote buys is scope you cannot get from a fixed package. HigherVisibility ties SEO, PPC, CRO and web design to revenue through its Targeted Growth System. Inflow pairs SEO with CRO and puts senior specialists on the account instead of account managers. Titan Growth brings patented crawl-simulation technology to large catalogs. Straight North brings 25-plus years of full-service delivery with a reporting platform that tracks calls and conversions. In each case the discovery call is the product: the agency audits the store, then prices the fix.

Treat the proposal as the test. A good one names the deliverables — how many pages optimized, how many links, what technical fixes — and the reporting cadence, and it states what happens if you cancel. A proposal that lists only hours and a monthly fee, with no deliverables and no out-clause, is a retainer, not a plan. Ask for the first 90 days in writing before you sign anything.

AI search is now part of the brief

Links and rankings used to be the whole brief. Now buyers ask whether a store shows up in AI answers too — and five of the seven agencies here sell exactly that. SmartSites sells AI search optimization and reports up to 30x more ChatGPT traffic for clients. Searchbloom runs a MERIT framework for AI search and tracks citations and share of voice with Peec AI. RedBat lists AI optimisation alongside ecommerce SEO in its packages. HigherVisibility and Straight North both sell GEO services. Inflow and Titan Growth do not advertise a dedicated AI search practice, which is worth knowing if AI visibility is on your brief.

The mechanism is the same as classic ecommerce SEO: product and category pages that answer real shopper questions, structured data that machines can read, and placements on sources AI systems cite. What changes is the measurement — citations and share of voice in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, not just positions. Ask any agency which of its clients appear in AI answers and how it measures that, and treat a vague answer as a no. Our AI search optimization service is built around exactly that question.

Quick comparison: tool type by need

How to choose: a short decision path

1. Name your platform and catalog size first. Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento and WooCommerce break in different ways, and a 500-SKU store needs a different agency than a 50,000-SKU one. Short-list only agencies that have solved your platform's problems before.
2. Decide published price or custom quote. If you need to budget before the first call, the three published-price agencies are your short-list. If the catalog is large or the platform is unusual, a custom quote is the honest route.
3. Check the reporting, not the pitch. Ask to see a sample monthly report. It should tie work to organic revenue and orders, not just traffic and rankings — Searchbloom and HigherVisibility both report that way.
4. Ask about AI search directly. If ChatGPT and AI Overviews matter to your customers, confirm the agency sells GEO and can show measured AI citations. Five agencies here do; two do not.
5. Start with the free step. RedBat and Straight North offer a free audit, SmartSites and Searchbloom a free consultation. Take the free step with your top two picks and compare the findings before you pay anything.

Before you point new work at a page, run its title through the free SERP snippet preview tool — an optimized page with a weak title still earns a weak click.

Mistakes to avoid

• Hiring on price alone. A $2,500 retainer that fixes faceted navigation beats a $5,000 retainer that only publishes blog posts. Compare the scope behind the number, not the number.
• Ignoring platform fit. An agency that has never fixed your platform's catalog problems will learn on your budget. Ask for a client on your exact platform before you sign.
• Accepting traffic-only reporting. Sessions and rankings are inputs; orders and organic revenue are outcomes. If the monthly report cannot tie work to sales, the agency is not doing the job.
• Signing a long contract before the audit. Searchbloom sells with no lengthy contracts and RedBat guarantees month one. If an agency demands a year upfront with no out-clause, that is a warning sign.
• Forgetting the feed and the schema. Product schema, Merchant Center feeds and llms.txt decide whether products show up in shopping results and AI answers. Confirm they are in scope, not an add-on.

How we chose

We checked each agency's own site on November 1, 2026 and recorded the starting price exactly as shown: SmartSites at $2,600 a month, Searchbloom at $3,000 a month and RedBat at $2,500 a month publish their prices, while HigherVisibility, Inflow, Titan Growth and Straight North publish no starting price and are listed as custom quotes. One price needs a note: third-party listings still show RedBat's older $2,000, $3,000 and $5,000 tiers, but RedBat's own packages page now lists $2,500, $5,000 and $10,000, so we use the live page. No G2 rating is shown for any agency: the G2 pages would not load on the check date, so no score is estimated or carried over from a directory. We ranked the agencies by fit for the most common buyer — a small or mid-size store hiring its first or next ecommerce SEO agency — not by brand size. No vendor paid for a place in this list, and none of the links here are affiliate links.

What to do next

Start with the decision path above: name your platform and catalog size, pick published price or custom quote, and check the reporting before the pitch. Then take the free step with your top two picks — an audit or a consultation — and compare what each agency actually finds wrong with your store. The one that finds real problems, prices the fix in writing and reports in revenue is the one to hire. If you'd rather have this set up and read for you, request a free SEO + AI visibility audit and get a ranked fix list in 2 business days.
