Technical SEO for eCommerce is not something that you want to be researching each night in bed. Hire an expert.
Ensure Unique/Quality Content
Every indexable, marketing-focused page should offer unique content that helps to not only provide value to your on-site visitors, but also search engines. Ensuring that your product pages have unique descriptions, your category pages have unique text to curate products, and your article content is one-of-a-kind are initial steps to helping your site to rank better and increase conversions.
Leverage Content Marketing to Educate Customers
For eCommerce SEO to be truly effective (long-term), websites must focus on educating prospective customers (at every opportunity) with resourceful and helpful content in order to earn trust, credibility, and the engagement signals that search engines consider in how your website ranks. This “content marketing” approach results in a higher-quality website that users love and search engines rank well.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Do category pages curate top products and provide other helpful resources to prospective buyers beyond a simple product grid and filters?
- Do product pages offer unique descriptions that exist nowhere else on the web, and offer unique insight into what makes each product a worthy purchase?
- Does your eCommerce website have a blogging strategy to help prospective customers decide between products, offer commercial solutions for question-based queries, and stay updated on the latest commercial trends within your particular industry?
- Does your eCommerce website offer buying guides to help users find the best products for their needs (and to help grow your email marketing list)?
If you answered “No” to any of them, then you have a clear opportunity to improve and grow your eCommerce business…especially with eCommerce SEO. Make your online store so “sticky” that prospective customers think of your first when it comes to researching and shopping for the products they need. This approach will help your site with better user engagement, attracting more links, more referrals, more sales, and better search engine rankings.
Don’t sell…educate.
