Frequently Asked Questions
Layer 1
  1. Why does SEO for Ecommerce matter? 
    Today, when consumers need a product or service or are interested in any information to help make a buying decision, they perform an online search. If your website or web pages don’t appear when they search for relevant keywords, you lose potential leads, conversions, and prospective buyers.

    Your products and services may have a space online, but if they’re not discoverable, then you won’t reach your target audience. This is where ecommerce SEO comes in to boost your search visibility. 

  2. Where do I start my Ecommerce SEO strategy? 
    What are you doing about it so far? If the answer is nothing, then you might want to look into the tools mentioned above to run a site audit. Using these SEO audit tools will allow you to check for broken links, meta tags, anchor text, and page load speeds. If you don’t have time for any of that, then your best course of action is to start looking for a reliable agency to do the work for you (hello!). 

  3. How long will it take for my Ecommerce site to be seen?
     
  4. Results aren’t always immediate, especially if you are starting from scratch. Moreover, it also depends on the state of your website and the goals of your business, which may take months to see notable results. Rest assured, the campaigns that we create for your business will follow a strict workflow and timeline to monitor your progress and conduct necessary adjustments. 

  5. Will blogging help my Ecommerce SEO?
  6. Absolutely! Every piece of content you roll out translates to another opportunity to link and rank for your target keywords related to your business. The more expertly written and quality content you produce, the greater the chances you get to perform well at your industry’s organic search rankings. 

    • What is keyword research?

    Good question! Keyword research is the cornerstone of every SEO strategy, especially when it comes to on-page SEO. This is a way of finding out which queries users enter into the search engines, so you can produce pages that will pop up as results for those keywords. We optimize your content for keywords that have high search volumes and low competition to help your ecommerce site rank and sell. 

    • How do I conduct keyword research?

    Keyword research for ecommerce SEO can go two ways: starting from your own research and spying on your competitors. You can start by thinking about what topics are related to your business, the products you offer, an article you want to write about, and so on. These broad parent topics should help you narrow down your potential keywords. 

    Keyword exploring through spying on your competitors is as easy as inputting the URL on a tool, then it will display a list of specific keywords they use as well as the related keywords and phrase match keywords you can tap. Tools like Ahrefs and SEMrush can be a great help in your keyword research.

    • Where do I put my SEO keywords?

    Of course, you don’t want to force your keywords in places where it looks unnatural. If you haven’t heard, keyword stuffing is terrible for your SEO. Be sure to follow keyword placement best practices for optimizing a page. They should show in the title, the first paragraph of your intro, in headings, and aptly inserted throughout the rest of your content.

Ecommerce SEO
Misconceptions/Myths
Focus Solely on Technical SEO

One of the major reasons that hold back online retailers and merchants to prioritize their SEO is because they think it’s too complicated and technical. Of course, when you’re a large ecommerce platform like Amazon, technical SEO becomes more necessary.

However, your ecommerce site can be just as successful without spending too much time on technical SEO. Links are one of the most important Google ranking factors. This means you can catapult your organic search visibility and find better opportunities by creating and promoting content to build high-quality links. 

 
Category Pages Don’t Matter

Let’s say an online shopper searches for “noise-canceling headphones” and you sell those kinds of products. Then, you would want to include a category page focused on the keyword phrase “noise-canceling headphones.” Category pages like this are one of the best ways to rank for particular keyword searches.

Pay attention to categorizing your site thoroughly to optimize what your site offers. To optimize each category page, you must determine the pertinent keyword groups. Then, optimize the meta title and description, H1 tag, URL, and content for those target keywords or phrases

Duplicate Content Is Bad

Duplicate content is bad, but in the context that you have two web pages that have the exact same content. Meanwhile, having the exact same product description as your manufacturer (or everyone else) isn’t bad. If so, then Amazon would’ve ranked lower in search, and every ecommerce site can create an identical site to pull their competitors down.

 

For ecommerce sites, identical product descriptions aren’t that big of an issue because you can rank based on how strong or weak your backlink profile is. It would be worth your time to focus on backlink acquisition and customer experience rather than crafting unique product descriptions.

Your Aim is to Rank Higher

Of course, your aim should be to boost your ranking when doing SEO, but the better goal should be to earn or to generate conversions out of it. The more your pages rank higher on the search results and your products get exposed to a broader audience, the greater the chances you have at boosting revenue and earning higher profit.
