Ecommerce SEO Company Built by Shopify Shop Owners, for Shopify Shop Owners
Most ecommerce SEO companies were built by SEO consultants who decided to start an agency. Blooming Checkout was built the other way around. Nick James started his first online store in 1999, moved his flower business onto Shopify in 2014, ran the brands directly for two and a half decades, learned what works through direct ownership, and then opened BC in 2022 to apply the same methods for other store owners. The order matters. Owner-first SEO companies think about the work differently.
This collection is the front door to every BC ecommerce SEO offering — collection pages, service pages, plans and products. We work with Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Magento brands across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
What Sets BC Apart From Other Ecommerce SEO Companies
Three things set BC apart from typical ecommerce SEO companies.
The first is owner-operator credibility. We run our own Shopify stores. Fabulous Flowers and Flower Guy are both still operating, both still growing organically. The methods we apply on client work are the same ones we apply on our own stores, tested first.
The second is honest pricing. Every plan, every product, every retainer has a stated cost on our website. No 'request a quote' theatre. No discovery calls disguised as sales calls. Owners can see the cost before they enquire.
The third is weekly progress communication. Every monthly client gets a weekly note explaining what shipped, what is in production, and what the data is showing. No vanity dashboards. No monthly invoices for an audit you never read.
How We Operate as a Company
We run as a small, distributed team. Nick James is the founder and lead consultant. Our delivery team handles content production, schema implementation, link outreach and reporting. We use Sarkarseo as a fulfilment partner for done-for-you packages, with the same standards applied as on our own brand work.
We do not employ a sales team. The website does the work of explaining what we offer. The Calm SEO Starter Kit, the Collection-First SEO System, the Monthly SEO Plans and the retainer products all have their own pages with their own pricing. Owners pick what fits their stage and budget.
We publish openly. The Bloomsletter is our weekly newsletter. Blooming Daily is our YouTube channel. The methods are open. The implementation is what we charge for.
The Team You Will Actually Work With
When you hire a big ecommerce SEO company, the senior partner who pitched you may never touch your account. With BC, you work directly with Nick on strategy and with the delivery team on execution. Our team is small enough that every client knows who is doing the work.
Our Our Team page introduces the people. Our Our Why page explains how we got here. The Our Growth Approach page details the philosophy behind the work.
Our Process: From Audit to Monthly Cadence
Every monthly engagement follows the same rhythm.
Week one: discovery and audit. We use the Ecommerce SEO Audit process to map the store, the catalogue, the keyword universe and the technical foundation.
Week two: 90-day plan. The audit becomes a prioritised work plan with weekly deliverables agreed.
Weeks three through twelve: execution. Collection pages built. Schema implemented. Internal links added. Blog posts shipped. Backlinks earned. Each week ends with a progress note.
Month four onwards: cadence. The monthly rhythm settles. The work continues. Reports go out monthly with rankings, traffic and revenue attribution.
Stores that want a lighter touch can start with the Root Monthly SEO Starter Plan. Stores that want a heavier engagement can step into the Flourish, Thrive or Blossom retainers.
What Our Clients Pay and What They Get
We publish pricing on every plan. The starting points: $19 for the Calm SEO Starter Kit, $47 for the Collection-First SEO System, monthly plans from the Seed tier upward. Done-for-you retainers price by store size and goal.
What clients get: weekly progress notes, monthly reports, a dedicated work plan, and direct access to the team. We do not bill for time spent in meetings. We bill for work shipped.
For backlinks specifically, we offer discrete products by domain authority tier: The Cutting, The Graft, The Orchid, The Root, The Crown 10 and The Crown 20.
Why We Publish Pricing Publicly
Most ecommerce SEO companies hide their pricing behind a sales call. We do not. Three reasons.
The first is respect for the owner's time. A founder running an ecommerce store does not have time for a 45-minute discovery call just to find out the monthly rate. Publishing the price lets owners self-select.
The second is trust. A company that hides its pricing has something to negotiate. A company that publishes its pricing has nothing to hide. The pricing is the pricing.
The third is operational simplicity. We do not need a sales team chasing leads through a CRM. The website explains the offering. Owners enquire when they are ready. The team focuses on delivery, not selling.
What is an ecommerce SEO company?
An ecommerce SEO company is a business that provides search engine optimisation services to online stores. The work covers keyword research, on-page optimisation of collection and product pages, technical SEO including schema and site speed, content marketing through blog posts, and link building. The goal is to grow organic search traffic to the store and convert that traffic into revenue.
How do I choose the right ecommerce SEO company?
Five filters. Have they run their own ecommerce store? Most have not. The ones who have know things the others do not. Do they publish their pricing? Honest companies state their rates publicly. Do they share their methods openly through content, newsletters or podcasts? The good ones do. Will the senior team actually do the work, or only the junior team? Ask directly. What does their reporting look like? Ask for a sample weekly note before you sign.
What questions should I ask an ecommerce SEO company before hiring?
Six questions. Have you run your own ecommerce store? What is your monthly retainer fee, and what is included? Who on your team will do the actual work on my account? Can I see a sample weekly progress note? How do you measure results? What is your process for the first 90 days? The answers will tell you whether the company is the right fit.
How big should an ecommerce SEO company be?
For most ecommerce stores under $10M annual revenue, a small boutique company of three to ten people delivers better results than a 50-person agency. The work is highly contextual and benefits from senior attention. Bigger agencies serve enterprise brands better — those with internal SEO teams who need agency support at scale. Boutique companies serve independent brands better — those who want a partner, not a vendor.
Can an ecommerce SEO company guarantee rankings?
No reputable ecommerce SEO company will guarantee specific rankings. Google's algorithm changes regularly, competitive pressure varies, and many factors lie outside the SEO company's control. A good company will guarantee process: the work that will be done, the cadence it will be done at, the reporting you will receive. Outcomes are projected from data, not guaranteed.
What does an ecommerce SEO company charge per month?
Monthly retainers for ecommerce SEO companies range widely depending on store size, deliverable volume and the seniority of the team doing the work. Rather than quote industry averages we cannot stand behind, we publish BC's exact pricing on the Monthly SEO Plans page so you can see what fits your store before you enquire.
