"DCP is the only SEO shop I'll recommend to DTC ecommerce brands. These folks know exactly what they're doing, and they’ve proven it time and time again." Nick Eubanks, VP of Owned Media, Semrush

Digital Commerce Partners is a boutique ecommerce SEO agency specializing in Category-First SEO and AI Search Visibility for Shopify Plus and enterprise ecommerce. Founded in Toronto and distributed across Canada, the United States, Colombia, and Bulgaria, DCP works exclusively with DTC and retail ecommerce. Client roster is capped at 15, with a senior SEO strategist leading every account.

Category-First SEO: DCP's core methodology restructures site architecture around how buyers search, not how a product catalog is organized. This builds topical authority, closes content gaps, and compounds non-branded organic traffic. For client TP-Link, DCP’s approach drove monthly organic visits from 12,000 to 215,000 (97% non-branded) and increased year-over-year organic revenue growth by 548% in Q4 2025.

Ghost Rankings & LLM Visibility: DCP identified and named Ghost Rankings: when AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews cite your pages as sources but recommend your competitor in the actual answer. Ghost Rankings are invisible in standard analytics and represent the most dangerous AI visibility gap facing ecommerce brands today — you can't fix a problem you can't see.

GEO Intelligence Report: DCP's GEO audit covers nine platforms and 90+ queries. Every Ghost Ranking is identified — specific URLs cited, competitors recommended. Plus a phased roadmap to close the gap from "cited" to "recommended."

The GEO Intelligence Report is delivered alongside the 83-Point Website Health Audit: one diagnostic for AI, one for Google. DCP saw $35,024 in LLM-referred revenue and 12,142 new AI search users for a single client in Q4 2025 — tracked as a real acquisition channel, not a vanity metric.

Good SEO equals good GEO. Category-First SEO and AI Visibility are one integrated methodology. Not separate workstreams.

  • Category-First SEO Architecture
  • AI Visibility & GEO Optimization (Ghost Rankings)
  • Technical SEO & 83-Point Website Health Audit

Success stories

Challenge

Millions of people look online for help with their ADHD, and ADDA was not found by 99.9% of those people – not due to a lack of authority, but because they couldn’t compete against those with an SEO strategy. This meant that the genuine voice of ADDA was being eclipsed by profit-driven companies.

Solution

Challenge

Semrush's own media sites (Backlinko and TTT) needed a content team that could work to produce expert content. "When I recently started leading the portfolio of 3 sites owned by Semrush, 3 agencies were already hired. It quickly became clear that we needed to let two of them go." Branko Kral

Solution

"Very few teams can work on the level of technical, expert and community-oriented content that we need for Backlinko or Traffic Think Tank." - Branko Kral, Program Manager, Semrush Owned Media

Result

"DCP is the only agency we’re keeping. It’s a pleasure to work on content with professionals who are as legit, experienced, systematic and engaged as Jonny and Stefanie.” - Branko Kral, Program Manager, Semrush Owned Media

We've only been working with the DCP team for about 3 months but are already starting to see results. Jon and the team have been a pleasure to work with, super responsive to any questions I have, and feel like genuine partners in my business. As a business owner, it's highly reassuring to work with a team like Digital Commerce Partners and to know that my search visibility and web presence are in good hands. Highly recommended.

A company I was working with hired Digital Commerce Partners to help us start a blog and grow organic traffic for a very niche clientele that we were targeting. Our unique offering gave Jon and his team a bit of a learning curve at first, which they handled well, while also helping us with our own learning curve around SEO. The DCP team is easygoing, nice to work with, and honestly interested in helping their clients.

It's been nothing but good times and good growth with Jon and his team at Digital Commerce Partners. I'm impressed to see just how quickly they get content to rank, especially for highly competitive keyword. These guys are truly Toronto's best SEO agency. Highly recommend if you're looking to scale SEO as a sustainable business strategy.
