What this is

This is a written report on category-level search trends and SEO openings — what buyers are actually searching for in your category, where demand is growing or declining, and which keywords your category leaders aren't yet defending. The problem it fixes is that most ecommerce founders set their SEO and content strategy based on the keywords their competitors already rank for. That's reactive, not strategic. By the time a competitor ranks for a term, the rankings race is already on. The interesting question is which terms have demand but no clear winner yet — and which terms are losing demand and shouldn't be chased. We read the search data, the demand trajectory, and the competitor coverage, and surface the openings worth pursuing in the next quarter. Methodology comes from launching products on Amazon and Shopify that hit category #1 within sixty days — work where reading search opportunity correctly was the difference between launching into demand and launching into noise.

What happens during the 7 business days
  1. 01

    Days 1–2. Category and keyword scope-setting. Pull demand data across Amazon, Google, and Shopify-relevant SEO tools.

  2. 02

    Days 3–4. Demand trajectory analysis — what's growing, declining, holding flat across twelve to twenty-four months of data.

  3. 03

    Day 5. Competitor coverage map — who's defending what, where the gaps sit.

  4. 04

    Days 6–7. Written report and delivery, with a sixty-minute walkthrough call.

What you get

Concrete deliverables, no vague promises.

  • Marketplace trends and SEO report — fifteen to twenty pages, PDF or Google Doc
  • Demand-trajectory analysis across the top fifty keywords in your category, segmented into growing, declining, and stable
  • Competitor coverage map — who's ranking for what, gaps where no clear winner is defending the term
  • Six to ten priority opportunity keywords with rationale — why they're winnable, what content or listing change would target them
  • Channel-specific notes — Amazon SEO opportunities, Google SEO opportunities, where they overlap
  • Quarterly tracking framework so you can measure whether the priorities are converting
  • Sixty-minute walkthrough call after delivery
What’s not included

Where this scope ends.

  • Implementation of SEO recommendations — book Amazon SEO Listing, Shopify Content & UX, or Brand Voice & Website Copy, or hand to your team
  • PPC keyword research at depth (covered partially in this report but not at PPC-specific depth)
  • Backlink analysis or off-page SEO (not within this scope)
  • Multi-category reports — book per category, or scope a multi-category engagement separately

FAQ

What people ask before booking.

How many revisions are included? What if we need more?

One revision round is included in every Engagement. Further rounds are £85 each. A revision round means a consolidated set of feedback delivered within 14 days of receiving the work — piecemeal feedback gets folded into one round.

When do we pay? What's the deposit structure?

Engagements under £500 are due on delivery. Engagements £500 and above are 50% deposit on booking, 50% on delivery. The Strategic Retainer is monthly upfront with a two-month minimum. We hold your slot the moment payment lands and start work once any deposit clears.

What if our needs are slightly outside the published service?

Custom-scope work is priced from the published Standard rate for the closest service, quoted at scoping, and confirmed in writing before we book. We don't surprise-bill for scope changes.

What if we're not happy with the work?

Tell us within 14 days of delivery. Most cases resolve with a revision. If we genuinely missed the brief, a partial refund is on the table — we'd rather acknowledge it than argue. Otherwise, fees are non-refundable for completed work.

How is this different from a Helium 10 or Ahrefs export?

The tools give you the data. The report tells you what to do with it. Most founders have access to keyword volume — what they don't have is an operator-honest read on which keywords are worth chasing this quarter, which are trapped in over-saturated SERPs, and which are losing demand fast enough that ranking would be hollow. The interpretive layer is the work.

Does this cover both Amazon and Shopify, or just one?

Default is one channel because the keyword landscapes are different and forcing both into one report dilutes the analysis. If you sell on both and want both covered, book a scoping call — it's typically a 1.5x scope rather than 2x because category context overlaps.
