A Technical SEO Analysis of Shopee's Product Ranking Algorithm

While Google SEO gets all the attention, marketplace SEO is a beast of its own. I recently did a deep dive into Shopee, the e-commerce giant in SEA and LATAM, to understand its ranking factors.

It’s a fascinating mix of classic on-page SEO principles and platform-specific performance metrics. Here’s a quick breakdown:

1. Textual Relevance: Heavily weighted on Brand + Category + Product Name + Key Specs in the title.

2. Attribute Matching: The structured data from product attributes is crucial for filtered search.

3. Performance Metrics as a Ranking Factor: Unlike traditional SEO, metrics like Chat Response Rate and Ship-on-Time (SOT) rate directly influence search visibility.

4. Sales Velocity & Conversion Rate: Similar to Amazon's A9, products that sell well rank.

I've compiled these findings and more into a full playbook for anyone looking to master this platform.
