SEO Isn’t Dead — But 90% of eCommerce Brands Will Get This Wrong in 2026

Google’s December Core Update didn’t kill SEO, but it exposed which eCommerce brands are doing it properly… and which ones are about to disappear from search.

In this episode of E-Commerce Australia, Ryan Martin sits down with Patrick, Head of SEO at Remarkable Digital, to break down what’s actually working in eCommerce SEO in 2026, and why most brands are unknowingly sabotaging their own growth.

If you’re relying on AI-generated content, outdated SEO tactics, or “best practice” advice from 2024, this episode will challenge everything you think you know.

Why Google’s Core Updates are rewarding some eCommerce stores, and punishing others

The truth about AI content, EEAT, and “AI slop” (and how to use AI without getting hit)

The exact content mix eCommerce brands need (60% informational, 40% transactional)

How to build topical authority to beat bigger brands with smaller budgets
