About ClutchSEO

The SEO agency British ecommerce founders actually trust.

We started ClutchSEO after years of watching ecommerce brands get burnt by generalist agencies. Today we work with founders who care about organic revenue, not impressions.

Our story

Founded by ecommerce people, for ecommerce people.

James started ClutchSEO in 2019 after a decade running organic for DTC brands and Shopify Plus stores. The frustration was simple. Most SEO agencies treat a £4m homeware brand the same way they treat a SaaS startup or a local plumber.

Ecommerce SEO is its own discipline. Collection architecture, faceted navigation, schema, Core Web Vitals on theme-bloated stores, programmatic content for product variants. None of it gets covered properly by generalists.

Five years on, the team has grown to nine people. Every one of us has shipped Shopify or WooCommerce work. We turn down briefs we're not the right fit for, and we keep client lists small on purpose.

How we operate.

Revenue, not rankings

We measure success by attributable organic revenue. Vanity rankings on terms that don't convert are noise.

Specialist not generalist

We only work with Shopify and WooCommerce stores. That focus compounds. Every store we touch makes the next one faster.

No long contracts

Rolling monthly retainers. If we're not earning our fee back inside six months you walk, no questions asked.

Founders, not interns

Senior strategists on every account. The person who pitched you is the person doing the work.

The people behind your account.

No interns. No outsourcing.
