Why Ecommerce SEO Matters

E-commerce businesses thrive on visibility. Most online shoppers begin their journey with a search engine. Without effective SEO, your store might remain invisible on these searches. This means lost potential customers and, ultimately, lost sales.

SEO is the key that unlocks this visibility. When done well, it will significantly boost organic traffic to your site. But more than that, it helps attract the right kind of visitors. Visitors who are actually interested in your products.

What's Different With SEO For Ecommerce?

SEO for e-commerce websites is different compared with SEO for simpler ‘brochure’ style websites. E-commerce websites often have a complex site architecture with hundreds, thousands, even hundreds of thousands of product pages.

This means there are lots of technical factors that can affect SEO – duplicate content, URL structure, products moving locations or being removed altogether, canonical URL’s and much more.

E-commerce SEO is a specialised field. It's about tailoring strategies to the unique needs of online stores. It's about understanding customer search intent, optimising product descriptions, and leveraging technical SEO. As an E-commerce SEO agency we tailor our strategies to your online store's needs. These strategies enhance your visibility and drive relevant traffic. By focusing on targeted keywords, our experts help match your products with customer inquiries. This precision can lead to higher conversions, as it connects you with consumers ready to purchase.

Partnering with a specialised e-commerce SEO agency can be a game-changer. It can help you maximise sales, drive customer engagement, and achieve sustainable growth.

7 Keys To Ecommerce SEO

1. Keyword Research

Keyword research is at the heart of successful e-commerce SEO. It's about understanding what customers are searching for online.

By grasping search intent, you can optimise your site to meet these needs. This involves choosing the right keywords that reflect user queries.

As an E-commerce SEO agency we use advanced tools to analyse search patterns. This enables us to select keywords that drive quality traffic to your store. Through careful analysis, your e-commerce site becomes a destination for interested buyers, poised for conversion.

2. On-Page SEO

On-page SEO is essential for showcasing your products. Well-written product descriptions improve search rankings and catch customers' interest.

Each description should be clear and informative. It should highlight benefits and include relevant keywords. This helps search engines understand what your products offer.

Images play a crucial role as well. Optimised images enhance user experience and improve load times. Use descriptive file names and alt tags for each image. This boosts image searchability, expanding your reach.

By optimising descriptions and images, you're not just communicating with potential buyers. You're sending clear signals to search engines too.

3. Mobile SEO

Mobile optimisation is now non-negotiable. With the majority of online shopping done on mobile devices, an e-commerce site must be mobile-friendly.

A responsive design ensures that your site adjusts seamlessly to different screen sizes. This enhances the user's journey, reducing bounce rates.

A well-optimised mobile experience engages customers effectively. It not only improves SEO rankings but also supports conversion rates.

By focusing on mobile optimisation, you create a frictionless shopping journey. This can lead to more satisfied customers and higher sales.

4. Technical SEO

Technical SEO forms the backbone of your e-commerce site's performance. It focuses on aspects that may not be visible to users but crucial for search engines.

One key area of technical SEO is ensuring search engine crawlers can access your site. This involves having a clean, well-structured URL that aids indexing.

Another component is optimising your site's architecture. A flat, easy-to-navigate structure helps both users and crawlers find what they need quickly. This improves the overall search rankings.

Using HTTPS is essential for security and trust. It reassures users their data is safe, indirectly boosting SEO through increased user confidence.

Finally, technical SEO involves regular checks and updates. These efforts ensure your e-commerce site remains in peak condition. A well-maintained site is favored by search engines, leading to better visibility.

5. Site Speed

Site speed is crucial for keeping users on your site. A slow-loading page can drive potential buyers away.

Search engines prioritise fast sites because they enhance user experience. Speed is not just a technical metric; it's a determinant of engagement.

Optimising site speed improves both user satisfaction and SEO rankings. It's a win-win that directly impacts your e-commerce success.

6. Structured Data

Structured data enhances how your products appear in search results. It provides search engines with additional context about your content.

Rich snippets like ratings, prices, and stock levels can be displayed. These elements make your listings more attractive and clickable.

Implementing structured data increases the likelihood of attracting qualified traffic. It distinguishes your products and provides competitive advantages.

7. Link Building

Backlinks are signals of trust from other websites. They show search engines that your content is valuable and credible.

High-quality backlinks improve your domain authority. The more authoritative the linking site, the more beneficial the link is for your SEO.

Earning backlinks requires building relationships and creating shareable content. Quality over quantity is key, fostering sustainable SEO growth.

Keyword Research

The starting point for any search marketing decisions is understanding how your customers search – what words and phrases they use – so that your website can be optimised for those words and phrases.

SEO Strategy

There has to be an overall SEO strategy for you to see the best possible results. This includes factoring in keywords, but also your customers buying behaviour and search intent, your competition, and your websites user experience – and tying this in with your business goals and marketing strategy overall.

Onsite SEO

Once the best keywords have been identified, the pages of your website need to be amended to make them as relevant as possible for those search terms and to ensure they have the content which your prospects are looking for. Onsite SEO includes editing the on-page content, as well as page headlines, images and meta tags.

Link Building

Links are still a significant part of SEO, and despite a number of changes made by Google over the years the quantity and quality of links to your website from other sites around the web remain one of the most important ranking factors.

Technical SEO

Most websites have lots of technical errors in the code, and minimising and correcting these technical errors, as well as reducing the load speed of your website will improve your Google rankings.

Local SEO

If you are a business that operates in a local area, then you need local SEO to ensure your website appears in the map results triggered by local searches as well as in the organic results.

Monitoring Rankings

With Google making regular updates, as well as competitors changing and adjusting their websites, your rankings will fluctuate. We monitor these for you so that if your rankings drop for any reason, we can act quickly - and also so that we can regularly report back to you on progress being made.

Ecommerce SEO

Ecommerce websites tend to have large numbers of product pages and there are some SEO challenges that come with this, so ecommerce SEO helps overcome these and ensure you get found for searches for your products ad your brands.

International SEO

If you are looking to be found in multiple countries around the world, there are additional SEO considerations including language, domain, technical considerations and also strategies for targeting specific territories.

Blogging & Content Marketing

Publishing fresh, unique and thought-leading articles and videos on a regular basis is a key part to growing your website traffic, building an audience and attracting inbound links as well as getting found for ‘long tail’ keywords. Our team can write articles and produce these videos for you, as a ‘done for you’ service.

Social Media Marketing

Social signals are a ranking factor with Google, so building your followers and growing engagement on platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter & Instagram will have an SEO benefit as well as the other business benefits.

Website Conversion Rate Optimisation

SEO will increase traffic to your website, but if your website does not convert these visitors into leads, enquiries or sales then you won’t get the returns you would ideally like to get. Our team can go beyond getting high rankings in Google, to optimising your website’s conversion rate.

Content Marketing & Social Media For Ecommerce

Content marketing is integral to a successful e-commerce strategy. It serves both to attract and educate your audience.

Creating valuable content also builds brand trust and authority. When customers find your content useful, they are more likely to engage.

Additionally, aligning your content with your SEO strategy amplifies its impact. It helps in achieving better search rankings and attracting targeted traffic.

Social media integration takes your content further. By sharing content on platforms where your audience is active, you reach wider, engaged audiences.

Creating Valuable Content for E-commerce Audiences

To create valuable content, focus on addressing customer pain points. Understand their needs, questions, and motivations.

Product guides, tutorials, and FAQs are excellent content types. They provide information that nurtures potential buyers through the purchasing journey.

Ultimately, the goal is to create content that resonates with your audience. This approach encourages sharing and improves your SEO standing.

Social Media: An SEO Booster for E-commerce

Social media enhances your SEO efforts by driving traffic to your site. When users engage with content, it signals relevance to search engines.

Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest are powerful for e-commerce. They help showcase your products visually and drive interest.

Encouraging social sharing increases content visibility and reach. This activity can indirectly boost search rankings and improve brand perception.
