eCommerce SEO Agency USA: Category, Product and Technical SEO for Online Stores
Ren Hao SEO is an ecommerce SEO agency for US online stores on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Magento. We fix the catalog-scale technical issues that cap large stores, turn category pages into ranking assets for buyer-intent terms, optimize product templates at scale and build the links that lift the whole domain, then report on organic revenue, not sessions. Documented US results: 6× organic sales in a three-month sprint for a jewelry brand, and 40% lower blended CAC over ten months for an online retailer. Engagements start at $3,000 per month, month to month.
Who this is for
US online retailers and direct-to-consumer brands with a real catalog (hundreds to tens of thousands of SKUs) whose paid-media cost keeps rising and whose organic channel brings blog readers but few buyers. Typical clients sell considered or specialty products (jewelry, furniture, outdoor gear, supplements, B2B supplies) where expertise and brand trust beat a marketplace listing. If you need a fixed-deliverable monthly package instead of a scoped agency engagement, see ecommerce SEO services in the US.
