SEO for wholesale distributors: new customers from «wholesale» and «supplier» searches.
Buyers look for suppliers on Google and Yandex: «household chemicals wholesale almaty», «food supplier for cafés», «building materials wholesale shymkent». We build the site so that every category answers its own query and rank it in the cities you deliver to.
Search demand in wholesale differs from retail. There are fewer queries, but each is worth more: behind «wholesale» and «supplier» is a customer who will order for months. The main layers are category + «wholesale» + city, «supplier» or «distributor» + brand or category, «from the manufacturer», and queries for specific items with SKUs.
For SEO a wholesaler needs a site with separate category and brand pages showing the range, pack sizes, terms of work, delivery area and a price-list request form. A 1C catalogue produces thousands of product pages — it matters that they are not empty duplicates but help categories rank.
SEO in wholesale is a long channel: first positions for low-volume queries in 3–4 months, a steady flow in 6–9. But a new customer from search costs nothing per click and often stays for years.

When to expect customers from search.
Month 1 — audit, keyword research by category and city, catalogue technical base, decisions on duplicates and filters. Months 2–3 — category and brand page copy, city pages, map listings, first positions for low-volume queries. Months 4–6 — growth for «category wholesale city» queries, first «become a customer» requests. Months 6–12 — broad categories and the Kazakh version as a separate stream.
Contracts start at 3 months; a monthly report with positions and requests, not a list of tasks done.
Wholesale seasons and how to prepare the site for them.
Demand swings noticeably in many categories: building materials and garden — spring and summer, stationery and school uniforms — July and August, heating and warm clothing — autumn, gifts and confectionery — November and December, drinks and ice cream — summer. Pages for seasonal categories should be prepared and refreshed 2–3 months before the peak, otherwise search engines will not have time to index and rank them. We plan content around your annual sales calendar from 1C.
What affects the price of SEO.
SEO for a wholesale company in one city with a limited range — ₸200,000–300,000 per month: keyword research, category copy, maps, reports. A large catalogue, several delivery cities or regions — ₸300,000–450,000. The Kazakh version and articles depend on the volume of copy.
Contracts from 3 months. Base terms are on the SEO page.
The short version.
How much does SEO for a wholesale company cost?
₸200,000–300,000 per month for one city and a small catalogue, ₸300,000–450,000 for a large catalogue and several regions. Contracts from 3 months.
Is there any search demand in wholesale?
Yes, but it is narrower than in retail: «wholesale», «supplier», «distributor» queries by category and city. We estimate the volume from query statistics before starting, so you see the potential before paying.
Do we have to show prices on the site for SEO?
Not necessarily: you can show basic or «from» prices, with personal prices after login. What matters is that the category page answers the query: range, pack sizes, terms, delivery.
What do we do with thousands of products from 1C?
Index product pages with unique data and demand, close empty filters and duplicates, strengthen categories. Otherwise a site with 10,000 pages ranks worse than one with 300 good ones.
How do you report?
Monthly: positions by cluster, traffic, price-list requests and new customer requests from the CRM, work done and the plan. Access to Search Console and Metrica stays with you.
