How to make more money with your online store With eCommerce SEO

The steps to getting an eCommerce website design going is a nightmare if you don’t know what you are doing. There are literally hundreds of pages to create, products to upload and optimize, content to create and let’s not forget to mention your blog that should be rolling every week.

From product categories to 1500 word privacy policy pages, the thought of creating optimized content for each of these sections can be draining. On top of the core foundation of content and pages, you will need to install an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for upgraded security.

Let’s dive right in and find out what the top factors of Ecommerce SEO are. Keep in mind that every industry is different and what works for one niche may not work for another.

Easiest areas to improve upon for your Ecommerce store

Improving your product categories and product descriptions

Let’s start at the most basic level of an online store; your category descriptions and product descriptions. Without these pages in your store, you have no store. Forget it, just give up now and drop your project. These sections of your online store can literally make or break your online marketing efforts.

No matter how much you post on Facebook, Pinterest or Wanelo for your Ecommerce store, without high-quality category descriptions and product descriptions, you will lose. A good example of a category description would be at least 300-500 words explaining what that category is all about.

In each category description, you want to highlight the main products along with the keywords you are looking to rank for. As for your actual product descriptions, you want these to range anywhere from 300 – 1500 words, depending on competition.

As for the actual content in your product descriptions, you want to create pages with highly usable information, educational information, and compelling information.

Ask yourself the following questions about your product descriptions:

• Are they unique – not content from supplier websites
• Do they have original videos – in-house videos and not review videos
• Are they search engine friendly – not stuffed with keywords
• Are they friendly – are your customers reading the whole page
• Are they educational – is your customer learning something

These are just a few of the question you want to ask yourself when evaluating your product pages.

Create Support Pages and FAQ Pages to better your customer’s experience

Creating support pages and high-quality FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) pages are excellent for Ecommerce SEO.

We are not talking about a single FAQ page that covers your top 5 questions. Instead of creating a basic FAQ page, go above and beyond and create something meaningful to your customers.

Going above and beyond means creating the top 20, 30 or even 50 most frequently asked questions that your customers ask you on a daily basis.

You can break down your FAQ’s into sections based on the type of questions your customers ask. An example might be the following:

• FAQ section for size, height, weight, etc.
• FAQ section for shipping and returns
• FAQ section for anything that pertains to your product

Next would be your product support pages 

• Support page for cleaning
• Support page for maintenance
• Support page for DIY repair

These support pages should be broken down into actual pages. Under your cleaning section for example, you would have the top 10 ways of cleaning your product(s) that link to new pages and explain in detail on how to clean your product. This can work for virtually any industry, you just have to do your research.

You can see from this example, you would end up with plenty of new pages that you will ultimately rank for. The goal is to rank for terms like “Best ways to clean ABC WIDGET” or “How to repair ABC Widget”. This type of content is very user-friendly and great for your users.

These are just a few examples of what to do and what to create to help your Ecommerce SEO efforts. If you are stuck with your online marketing efforts or you feel like you need a little help, give Front Street Media in El Dorado Hills a call today.
