How we selected and scored the agencies

This is a query-specific comparison, not a general popularity list. Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) websites can create SEO complications around rendering, faceted navigation, product-variant duplication, crawl management, international storefronts, redirects and release governance. A capable agency needs more than a content calendar.

We scored the eight agencies against six weighted criteria:

Criterion	Weight	What we looked for
Query and vertical fit	25%	eCommerce, enterprise, complex-site, migration and technical SEO relevance
Documented capability	20%	Publicly stated technical SEO, content, authority and measurement services
Relevant proof quality	20%	Named case studies, methodology, comparison periods and independent corroboration
Implementation and delivery fit	15%	Evidence of technical execution, migration support or collaborative delivery
Commercial buyer fit	10%	Suitability for enterprise procurement, reporting and cross-functional work
Transparency and corroboration	10%	Clear limitations, pricing posture, external reviews or award records

Scores are editorial judgements from the supplied public evidence, not a claim that one agency will outperform another on every SFCC build. Case-study metrics are agency-reported unless explicitly identified as independently verified.

Evidence boundary: no agency in this shortlist supplied public proof of a named Salesforce Commerce Cloud engagement. This ranking therefore favours adjacent evidence, enterprise eCommerce, catalogue SEO, migration work, technical implementation and transparent operating models.

For clarity, AI SEO means adapting search content, entities and proof so they are easier for AI-assisted search experiences to interpret. AEO (answer engine optimisation) focuses on answering buyer questions clearly. GEO (generative engine optimisation) focuses on visibility in generative answer environments. Neither can guarantee Google AI Overview inclusion, citations in AI answers, rankings, traffic or revenue.

Ranked list

1. Searchmaxxed: AI SEO, AEO and implementation-led commercial-page fit

Best for: Commerce teams that want technical SEO joined to commercial-page improvements, entity clarity, public proof and measurement of AI-search visibility.

Why it ranked: Searchmaxxed publishes a clear model combining technical SEO, commercial content architecture, implementation and AI-search measurement. This is particularly relevant where an SFCC site has crawl, indexation, schema, rendering, canonical, redirect or buyer-journey issues that cannot be solved by publishing articles alone. Searchmaxxed

Evidence: Its public documentation describes an audit-led engagement model covering crawlability, indexation, rendering, redirects, canonicals, performance, schema, site architecture, content and conversion-focused page improvement. It also defines a proof-oriented approach to AEO and GEO rather than implying control over AI answers. About Searchmaxxed

Where they stand out: One accountable team owns the diagnosis, the website changes and the measurement, with AEO and GEO built into the same programme rather than sold as an extra.

2. Prosperity Media: enterprise eCommerce and technical organic-growth fit

Best for: Mid-market and enterprise SFCC retailers that need technical SEO, content strategy, digital PR and link acquisition coordinated around commercial organic growth.

Why it ranked: Prosperity Media has the clearest combination of Sydney presence, eCommerce positioning, specialist organic-search scope and substantial named growth-study material in this shortlist. Its public positioning includes SEO, generative-engine optimisation, content, digital PR and link acquisition, while its Surry Hills details are published on its growth-studies material. Prosperity Media growth studies

Evidence: Prosperity Media’s public material supports an enterprise-oriented organic-search model rather than an all-channel media-buying model. It also received 2025 APAC Search Awards recognition, which is independent corroboration of agency and campaign recognition, not proof that every campaign will perform similarly. APAC Search Awards 2025 winners Prosperity Media reports commercial outcomes across named clients in its case-study library; buyers should request the closest examples to their own catalogue size, international storefront setup and release process. Prosperity Media

Where they stand out: Specialist organic search, content and digital PR depth, backed by a named growth-study library buyers can read before a first call.

3. StudioHawk: complex catalogue, migration and pure-play SEO fit

Best for: SFCC teams managing large product ranges, international SEO, platform changes or post-migration recovery where organic search is a dedicated workstream.

Why it ranked: StudioHawk’s public proposition is concentrated on SEO strategy, technical SEO, content, digital PR, eCommerce SEO, migrations and AI-search visibility. That focus is useful when an SFCC retailer needs a dedicated organic-search partner rather than a generalist digital agency. StudioHawk

Evidence: The agency publicly describes direct access to SEO practitioners and a no-long-term-lock-in position. Its published Officeworks case study says StudioHawk reports a 60% increase in organic traffic and 32% online-revenue growth after post-migration technical, content and enablement work; these are agency-reported results, not independently audited figures. StudioHawk case studies and services

Where they stand out: SEO-only specialists with direct practitioner access, a no-long-term-lock-in posture and genuine migration and technical strength.

4. Online Marketing Gurus: integrated SEO, paid media and analytics fit

Best for: eCommerce organisations that want SEO, paid search, paid social, landing-page work and reporting under one operating model.

Why it ranked: Online Marketing Gurus has a broader full-funnel offer than the agencies above it, including SEO, GEO, paid media, analytics, content and link acquisition. This can suit a commerce team trying to reconcile organic and paid performance rather than running separate agency relationships. Online Marketing Gurus

Evidence: Its eCommerce content includes a Calvin Klein Australia example. Online Marketing Gurus reports a 142% increase in organic revenue from a full-service SEO campaign; that metric is agency-published and the reviewed source provides limited methodological detail. Online Marketing Gurus eCommerce case studies

Where they stand out: Multi-channel scale across SEO, paid media and web, with generative AI SEO already named in the service range.

5. First Page Australia: integrated acquisition and eCommerce campaign fit

Best for: Established retailers that want technical SEO, content, link earning, paid media and conversion work managed together.

Why it ranked: First Page Australia has documented eCommerce campaign evidence and a broad service mix spanning organic search and paid acquisition. That is a practical fit where SFCC SEO is part of a wider performance-marketing programme rather than an isolated technical workstream. First Page Australia’s Clutch profile

Evidence: In its iiCase case study, First Page Australia reports daily organic clicks rose from 44 to 200, while selected product terms reached positions five and three. It also reports a 3x paid-social ROI. These are agency-reported case-study figures, not independently audited outcomes. First Page Australia iiCase case study

Where they stand out: Integrated organic and paid acquisition under one roof, with the reporting depth larger buyers expect.

6. SIXGUN: collaborative technical SEO with stronger review corroboration

Best for: Teams wanting technical SEO, migration support and regular collaboration, with more independent client-review evidence than most agencies in this comparison.

Why it ranked: SIXGUN’s published scope spans technical, enterprise and local SEO, content and paid media. It is lower in this SFCC-specific ranking because the supplied evidence is not platform-specific, but it gains points for independently verified client-review material. SIXGUN reviews on Clutch

Evidence: A verified Clutch review from Bully Zero states that SIXGUN handled migration redirects without corrupted links, configured GA4 and Google Tag Manager, and preserved first-page visibility while enquiries continued through web search. This is client-review evidence, not a universal performance promise. SIXGUN reviews on Clutch

Where they stand out: Independently corroborated client reviews alongside strong technical and migration work, which is a rarer evidence mix than a logo wall.

7. Excite Media: website, conversion and SEO coordination fit

Best for: Businesses needing a website rebuild, conversion improvements and SEO managed as one programme rather than separate supplier projects.

Why it ranked: Excite Media’s case studies show useful detail around website, conversion and organic-search coordination. That matters if an SFCC storefront’s information architecture, templates or conversion paths need work alongside SEO. However, it ranks lower because the supplied evidence identifies Brisbane as its base, with remote delivery elsewhere, rather than a Sydney office. Excite Media client success stories

Evidence: Excite Media reports that, over five months of active SEO for John Barnes, conversions increased 69.4%, traffic increased 41.5%, and the site gained about 13,000 additional new users compared with the preceding period. These are agency-reported results with a stated comparison period. Excite Media’s John Barnes case study

Where they stand out: Website build quality and SEO handled together, which suits service businesses whose site is the constraint.

8. King Kong: direct-response acquisition fit, with diligence required

Best for: Businesses with validated offers that want direct-response creative, paid acquisition, conversion-rate optimisation and SEO considered together.

Why it ranked: King Kong’s public offer is geared to direct-response growth, paid acquisition, funnels and conversion optimisation. That can be relevant to an eCommerce growth plan, but it is a weaker fit for a buyer whose primary need is careful SFCC technical SEO governance. King Kong

Evidence: Its Marshall White case study documents architecture analysis, on-page optimisation, internal linking and the creation of more than 43 suburb pages. The numerical result counters rendered as zero in the reviewed source, so this guide does not rely on performance figures from that case study. King Kong Marshall White case study

Where they stand out: A confident direct-response operation built for volume once an offer already converts.

Recommendations by buyer scenario

You operate a large SFCC catalogue with technical debt, international storefronts or organic-revenue targets: shortlist Searchmaxxed first for technical SEO, AI SEO, AEO and GEO implementation across commercial templates. Prosperity Media and StudioHawk are also strong choices for structured eCommerce programmes and complex catalogue work. Ask each agency to review a sample of category, product, variant and faceted-navigation URLs before proposing work.
Your priority is migration resilience, rendering, indexation and release governance: start with StudioHawk, whose technical SEO capability suits complex platform transitions. Compare SIXGUN where independent review evidence and collaborative delivery are important parts of the selection brief.
You need technical SEO plus AEO, GEO and stronger buyer-proof pages: assess Searchmaxxed. Its model brings technical foundations together with entity clarity, proof-led commercial content and AI-search measurement. Invite the team to demonstrate how those elements would be implemented across representative SFCC page types. Searchmaxxed
You want SEO, paid search and paid social under one provider: compare Online Marketing Gurus and First Page Australia, both suited to integrated performance marketing programmes. Set out the required channel ownership, reporting structure and eCommerce revenue measures in the brief.
Your eCommerce site needs a substantial UX or conversion rebuild as well as SEO: consider Excite Media for a combined user experience, conversion and search programme. Include remote delivery, platform development and enterprise commerce governance in the project scope.
You run a marketplace or directory rather than a conventional store: platform architecture changes the brief. See our comparison of SEO agencies for marketplaces and directory websites.

Questions to ask shortlisted agencies

Show us a comparable commerce build. Have you worked on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, or a similarly governed enterprise platform with large catalogues and staged releases?
Who implements what? Separate recommendations from work your team will implement, work our developers must implement, and work requiring third-party platform support.
How will you handle faceted navigation and duplicate URLs? Ask for a proposed approach to indexation rules, canonicals, parameter handling, pagination, variants and XML sitemaps.
How do you test rendering and crawlability? Ask how the agency checks server responses, rendered HTML, internal links, structured data and release-related regressions.
What will the first 90 days produce? Require a prioritised backlog with owners, dependencies, expected commercial rationale and measurement method, not a vague promise of “optimisation”.
How will you measure SEO contribution? Ask how organic revenue, assisted conversions, non-brand demand, category performance and technical remediation will be reported.
What does AI-search work actually include? A credible answer should cover entity clarity, source quality, page usefulness and measurement, not a promise of inclusion in AI Overviews or AI-generated citations.
Can we speak with a comparable client? Ideally ask for a reference from a retailer with complex taxonomy, developer release cycles and a meaningful product catalogue.

Red flags and disqualifiers

Disqualify or pause any agency that:

promises guaranteed rankings, AI Overview placement, AI citations, leads or revenue;
cannot explain who owns SFCC implementation and release approval;
recommends large-scale content production before checking crawl waste, duplicates, internal linking and templates;
treats “AI SEO” as a separate magic product without explaining entity, content, technical and proof work;
will not provide a prioritised backlog, measurable baselines or access to the people doing the work;
cites case-study percentages without comparison periods, attribution assumptions or client context;
cannot explain how it will avoid indexation problems from filters, variants, search pages or campaign parameters;
relies on a lengthy contract before demonstrating technical understanding of your site.

FAQ

What does the current evidence actually support?

It supports adjacent eCommerce, enterprise SEO, migration, technical SEO, content and digital PR capability. It does not support a claim that any ranked agency has proven named Salesforce Commerce Cloud experience, because no such public case study was supplied.

Why does Salesforce Commerce Cloud need a different SEO brief?

SFCC sites often involve enterprise release processes, product and category templates, variant handling, faceted navigation, multiple locales and platform constraints. Your agency must be able to turn findings into developer-ready requirements and prioritise changes by commercial impact.

Can an agency guarantee visibility in AI Overviews or AI answers?

No. Agencies can improve technical accessibility, entity consistency, source quality and answer usefulness. They cannot guarantee Google AI Overview inclusion or control how generative systems cite or summarise brands.

Should we choose an SEO-only agency or a full-service agency?

Choose an SEO-only agency when technical organic search is the core problem and you have internal or separate paid-media resources. Choose a full-service agency when SEO, paid acquisition, landing pages and attribution must be coordinated under one team.

How should we verify claimed eCommerce results?

Ask for the measurement period, baseline, channel definitions, attribution model, seasonality context, implementation scope and a client reference. Treat agency-published results as useful evidence, not an audited forecast.

Decision rule

Choose the highest-ranked agency that can demonstrate comparable platform complexity, name the people implementing changes, provide a prioritised SFCC technical backlog, and agree to measurable commercial reporting. If it cannot do all four before contract, do not appoint it, regardless of rankings, case-study percentages or AI-search claims.
