How to Boost Your E-Commerce Experience With SEO

If you are operating an online business, you must be sure you are providing a seamless eCommerce experience to your customers. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can help you optimize your eCommerce experience. This is done by making your website easier to find and more visible to people that need your company’s products and services. Here are some tips to improve your eCommerce SEO.

1. Research Your Keywords

Make sure you are equipped to conduct keyword research. You want high volume keywords with a low difficulty. The more organic your site is developed the greater effect your implementation of keywords will have on your search engine rankings. Use Keywords that are relevant to your site and are known to the customers you are targeting. Keyword brainstorming can also consist of thinking about the different branches of services you offer, products you sell, or customers you target.

2. Meta Tags & Meta Descriptions

Include information such as meta descriptions, titles, H-tags, high volume keywords, and substitute names. Optimized Meta Tags are rewarded by Googles ranking algorithms.

3. Make Original Offering Descriptions

Most eCommerce site managers don’t take the time to develop engaging offer or product descriptions. Original descriptions are yet another opportunity to engage with a customer and also optimize the content you have available for search engines to crawl through. You should never overtly duplicate content but be sure you are not lacking content in areas that could be benefiting you. Express the benefits of the product in its description instead of just including the features.

4. Page Speed

Make sure your hosting plan is strong. You do not want customers to bounce off your page for an extended load time. This could immediately sour page visitors to your site and offering. You want to research different ways to increase your page speed and load time. We are always available to advise on these matters.

5. Advertise Your Site

These are the Off-Page SEO efforts that you are going to make. You should engage your audience as often as possible in real life. Find online forums and engage with people. Start conversations on social media or in the places you shop in your day-to-day. You can implement paid social media campaigns and paid advertising to do this but as you know, this requires a budget. Talking to people online or in person is free marketing!

The first step in improving the eCommerce shopping experience for your customers is to have a high-quality site that fully utilizes the latest and best SEO techniques. Our agency can help you with all of your SEO and website development needs.
