Alternatives to Ardent Growth
Ardent Growth is the right choice when you value:
- Fast results (we work fast and consistently get clients a noticeable lift in traffic within the first week)

- Reliable results (our priority scoring is calibrated to give you the most bang for your buck)
Your alternatives:
SEO tools
There are a ton of SEO tools out there that will audit your site and flag issues for you to fix. These are great if you want to manually spend hours (if not weeks) tediously going through it all and don't mind working with generic data that isn't custom-tailored for your specific website and technical capabilities.
Ardent Growth delivers done-for-you SEO services uniquely tailored to your company based on your topical authority and no SEO tool can match our speed, quality, and expertise.
Marketing agencies
Other SEO agencies are excellent when:
- Speed isn't a concern. Most take 3-6 months to do what we can do in a few weeks.
- You don't care about having a competitive advantage. Most SEO agencies just use the same generic data you can get from SEO tools and don't have the ability to prioritize things specifically for your website. And the big agencies that sell cheap SEO retainers don't have the margins to give you the same level of high-quality service you need.
- You don't mind paying a monthly retainer. Most agencies want to sell you everything under the sun and get you to sign a 12 month contract instead of just giving you what you need.
Ardent Growth starts delivering results in the first 3-4 weeks, using our own proprietary software to pull live data from Google, map it to your website, prioritize the results using an algorithm trained specifically on how Google works, and then immediately taking action.
We don't force people into long-term contracts. We work in short (but intense) sprints so you don't have to wait 6-9 months to start seeing an impact.
These folks trust Ardent Growth to get the results they need from SEO
Get the most advanced SEO services so you get more traffic to your website in weeks, not months.

What's included in our eCommerce SEO services?
Ardent Growth solely focuses on delivery high-impact results for online stores built on Shopify or WooCommerce. We’ve worked with 50+ brands but over time we realized the proprietary software we built helps us deliver the best results for eCommerce companies trying to rank at the top of Google and other major search engines for their most valuable keywords.
Prioritized eCommerce SEO Strategy
We compile keyword data for your Total Searchable Market™ and prioritize it based on ROI to maximize the return of your SEO campaign.
We focus on finding the biggest constraints first and fixing them. For most companies, this means focusing on your product pages and category pages first.
Technical SEO Analysis
We conduct a comprehensive technical audit of your eCommerce website to identify any and all issues present. But unlike most agencies that will waste hours fixing every little thing, we focus on the most impactful things that actually matter first. These include things like page speed issues, crawling errors, duplicate content, 404 errors, redirect loops, orphaned pages, missing titles, and more.
eCommerce Keyword Research for your Total Searchable Market™
Our keyword research methodology removes the guesswork from SEO and content marketing by telling us exactly what pages to create and optimize to get the most conversions from organic traffic.
We start by compiling data for your entire Total Searchable Market™. Then we process it using our clustering, mapping, and prioritization algorithms. We give you direct access to our custom tool so you can explore the data on your own as well.
eCommerce Page Speed Optimization
We’ll optimize the pages that matter most to make sure they load fast so you don’t lose conversions due to poor user experience. We also improve your Core Web Vitals to make Google happy and improve your rankings.
Comprehensive eCommerce SEO Audit
In addition to a technical audit, we’ll also conduct a more in-depth SEO audit and content audit to identify and fix the most important issues across your website. This includes auditing your content, backlinks, internal links, and user experience.
eCommerce Content Strategy
Strategy is about making choices. It’s about knowing how to leverage your strengths and your competitor’s weaknesses to deliver the most value to your market. Unlike most agencies, we don’t plan content based on guesswork and vanity metrics.
Our algorithms give us the ability to personalize recommendations for your specific website so we know what pages to plan on your content calendar that balance high value with predictably fast ranking potential.
Conversion Rate Optimization
We’ll help you improve your website’s conversion rate using the scientific method. We’ll develop hypothesis, design experiments, then conduct A/B tests to find winners.
Revenue-Focused Reporting
We track a lot of things but we focus our reporting on the things you care about most. We’ll work with you to define the top things you want to measure and track to hit them. We’ll use these key performance indictors (KPIs) to guide and iterate on our execution so your hit your target objectives for the quarter or year.
Link Building
Most agencies will try to sell you a generic link building package where they go and buy links from vendors on private markets. Not only is this a waste of time, it doesn’t work in the long-term. Instead of buying links from the same places everyone else is, we focus on helping you generate content that people actually want to link to.
We do this by finding evergreen topics that will naturally generate links over time while also capitalizing on current events and trends to generate content that resonates with news and media outlets.

eCommerce SEO FAQs
What is SEO in eCommerce?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in eCommerce is the process of making your website more visible on search engines so it ranks higher and gets more organic traffic.
Why is SEO important for eCommerce?
SEO is important for eCommerce because it helps you rank higher on Search Engine results Pages (SERPs) than your competitors. Benefits include increased organic traffic, brand awareness, reduce customer acquisition costs, and conversions.
How much does eCommerce SEO cost?
The average cost of eCommerce SEO services is between $150-$350 per hour for expert U.S. based companies that won’t ruin your website and brand reputation. Most eCommerce companies spend between $2,500–$10,000 per month for SEO services. Ardent Growth pricing starts at $5,000 per month for SEO services.
However, the size and competitiveness of your market can dramatically affect this. For example, companies like Nike and IKEA spend over $1 million per year on SEO.
Which eCommerce platform is the best for SEO?
The best eCommerce platform for SEO is the one is based on its ease of use, customization, integrations, and scalability. Shopify is, in our opinion, the best eCommerce platform for SEO because it makes everything else necessary to succeed with an online store easier.
How long does eCommerce SEO take?
According to Maile Ohye (a former Developer Tech Lead at Google), SEO needs four months to a year to implement improvements and begin to see potential benefits.
However, the time it takes really depends on your goals, strategy, resources, competition, and current performance. When we work with companies that already have an established website with dozens of products, we’re typically able to start showing results within the first 30 days. For newer websites it can take 6-12 months to gain momentum but once we do, they’re usually able to outperform top competitors in their market despite having low authority.
How do you optimize eCommerce product pages for SEO?
Optimizing eCommerce product pages for SEOs is done by first making sure you’re targeting the right types of queries your target market searches for and mapping them to the appropriate pages.
It’s not uncommon for eCommerce companies to target the wrong keywords with their product pages or bottleneck themselves by using one page for a set of queries when they really need two separate product pages.
From there, you should focus on creating dynamic custom elements that make it easy to update pages in bulk to ensure each one has the right information both people and search engines expect to find on the page.
