Your commerce platform can’t do this.

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.
