Commerce platforms are built to compete for head terms, which make up just 30% of search traffic. Merchstack is how your store competes for the other 70%.
You have the product data
Merchstack uses your existing product attributes—the ones that are currently powering your PLP filters.
But Google can’t crawl it
PLP filters are dynamic, and dynamic pages are invisible to search engines.
Imprecise solutions don’t work
You could make all of your dynamic pages visible to search engines, but that would consume your crawl budget, doing more harm than good.
And you can’t do this manually
It’s not practical to manage thousands of categories manually.
How it works
Part automation, full control
Manual control leaves growth on the table, while full automation does more harm than good. Merchstack is the middle way that unlocks your store’s untapped potential.
1
Choose relevant product attributes
Merchstack will prepare thousands of attribute-based categories using your product data.
2
Define SEO and content templates
A few settings let you manage thousands of categories at once.
3
Manually approve
Eligible long-tail categories land in your inbox, where you can approve or deny them.
4
Merchstack creates real categories within your commerce platform
The categories created by Merchstack are identical to your regular categories, use the same design on your storefront, and display breadcrumbs for your category hierarchy.
You can even include them in your navigation.
5
Optimize
Customize the on-page content, SEO, and product sorting of your popular long-tail categories.
We were amazed by the power of Merchstack. We instantly saw an uptick in organic traffic and sales.
