Technical SEO Remediation
Canonical strategy for /products/ versus /collections/products/, robots.txt.liquid rules, parameter handling, pagination, sitemap hygiene and crawl-budget recovery.
Organic search for Danish brands who rank at home on their own name and nowhere at all on what they actually sell.
Delivered remotely for brands across Copenhagen and Denmark.
The Copenhagen pattern in search is easy to spot and expensive to leave alone. Branded search is healthy — the name is known, the press coverage is real, people type it directly — and non-brand visibility is close to nothing. The store ranks for the label and not for the category, which means every new customer has to be bought through paid media or introduced by a magazine. Fixing that is the highest-leverage organic work available to a brand here.
Danish search has features that generic SEO advice misses entirely. Danish compounds words, so the term a buyer types is frequently a single long noun rather than a phrase, and the singular, plural and definite forms are different words with different demand. Add æ, ø and å, which appear in a large share of commercial terms and need consistent handling in slugs, titles and internal links. Then the market's size: national search volumes are small enough that a term with a modest number of monthly searches can still be a serious revenue driver, so the keyword research has to be read commercially rather than by volume alone.
For most Copenhagen brands, the ranking that matters is not only the Danish one. German, Swedish and English-language demand is often larger than the domestic pool, which turns this into an international SEO project: correct hreflang across market storefronts, a real content and collection structure per language rather than machine-translated duplicates, and market-specific commercial pages. Answer engines add a further wrinkle — they lean on structured data, review corpora and third-party editorial, so the same specification and evidence work pays twice.
Search behaviour here is direct. People search the object — the specific chair, the pendant, the material, the designer — rather than long conversational phrases, and Danish compounds mean those queries arrive as one word. That rewards a collection architecture built around real attributes: material, designer, room, size, finish, price band. It also rewards designer and material pages that carry genuine information, because Danish design categories have named creators and named woods and buyers use both as search terms. Meanwhile the technical Shopify problems are the usual ones, and they compound across markets: products reachable at two URL patterns, faceted filters spawning crawlable combinations, and thin collection pages multiplied by every locale you add. We fix the platform-level issues once, then build the market storefronts on top so German and Swedish pages are written for those markets rather than translated from the Danish, and hreflang actually reflects what exists. Winter is the interiors and lighting season here, which means the content that has to rank in November needs publishing in August.
The same standard of work we run for every client — applied to a Copenhagen brand’s realities.

A collection map built from real search demand, including sub-collections for attributes buyers search on: size, material, use case, price band, occasion.
Titles, descriptions, image alts, Product and Offer schema with live price and availability, plus review markup that stays valid as inventory changes.

8-figure DTC brand, ~140 SKUs, US + CA · Shopify Plus (migrated from Magento 2)
Magento 2 cost $9k a month in hosting, extensions and emergency dev before a single feature shipped. Mobile LCP sat at 5.4 seconds and mobile converted at less than half the desktop rate across 68% of sessions. The named constraint: 11,412 indexed URLs and a top-3 organic position on their hero category, so a migration that lost rankings would cost more than the platform ever saved.
~$7M/yr, 480 SKUs, US + EU via Shopify Markets · Shopify Plus (Shopify Markets, 3 regions)
Paid social carried 81% of revenue and CAC had climbed 44% in eighteen months. Organic sat at 2,100 sessions a month against category competitors doing ten times that, and the EU storefront duplicated the US catalogue with no hreflang at all. The named constraint: three national retailers own the head terms with link profiles this brand could not match in a year, so the plan had to win on query depth instead of authority.
“Honestly I signed for the SEO and the AI-search piece was a footnote in the proposal I skimmed. Then in March our product pages started getting quoted in ChatGPT answers for insulated growler queries, and that traffic showed up in GA4 with real purchase intent attached to it. Organic revenue is up 58% year over year and roughly a fifth of that comes from surfaces that didn't exist when we signed the contract. I still don't fully understand it. I've stopped questioning it.”
