SEO will cater your products in front of prospective buyers so that they know about them and make an informed decision.
Let us first understand what SEO is all about.
The term SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It is the process of increasing website traffic quality and quantity by improving the visibility of a website or web page for web browsers. SEO refers to natural or organic results improvements and does not include direct traffic and advertising purchases. It can also target various types of searches including image search, video search, academic search, news search, and vertical search engines specific to the industry.
The search engine will always keep its database updated to provide its users with the best services. This means that the search engine pages produce results, that are not only high quality but also relevant to what the searcher is seeking. To do this, various websites are scanned by search engines to better understand what the site means. This helps them to provide more relevant results for people looking for certain topics or keywords. The search engines also scan the site to determine the ease with which you can navigate and read the search engine’s search results page. It enhances websites’ user-friendliness. Optimization of search engines is the process; through which companies ensure that their website ranks high in search engines for relevant keywords and phrases.
Let’s say, for example, you have an article about how your wardrobe can be organized well. You want to try and optimize your blog post to get your content in front of the right people so that it shows up as the highest result for anyone seeking a “organize your wardrobe” keyword.
You can expand your views on search engines by enhancing your SEO. This helps you reach potential customers and involve them. You can increase your chances of achieving more organic traffic by building more engaging and efficient SEO content. By adjusting your site and content to make your SEO more visible and readable. When you could be at the top you should not settle for low SERP (Search Engine Result Pages).
Let us know a few facts about eCommerce before we understand the concept. We all know that e-commerce is a competitive area because of its increasing popularity every day.
It is now certain to say that consumers will keep purchasing from the e-commerce platform. This news should make eCommerce brands encouraging. But if you want to survive and thrive, with so many competitors worldwide you have to find ways to separate yourself from the crowd.
This can be done in various ways. Providing discounts, targeting the right audience, and accepting many options for payment are some of my favorite ways to boost eCommerce sales quickly. But you have to go one step further with this strategy and understand the behavior of the consumers buying. We know that 88% of consumers use Google before buying products.
Approximately 33% of clicks go to Google’s top search results, and 75% of all clicks are made on a first search results page.
Then, what does that mean to you?
In essence, you won’t generate new organic traffic results if your eCommerce site isn’t a top result when a consumer starts to search for a product.
You can follow these tips to increase sales.
You have to start with keyword research if you want to have a successful SEO strategy. This helps you to understand the conditions for search that consumers type when they buy products that you sell. A good starting point is Google AdWords.
You’ll find words and phrases in your products, services, and industry in the keyword planner tool. You can see how often people look for these words. The results show you also how the volume of the words and terms changes every month. You can update your website using this information to match the most popular search terms.
These subtle modifications on your eCommerce site increase the chances of your search results. Now you will receive more organic search traffic which will finally assist you in driving sales.
Now that you have selected all the keywords you need to distribute them to your website. You can add them to your product pages and descriptions, but that will not maximize your reach alone. You would like these keywords to be added to your website as much as possible.
So, you must add a blog to your website.
Research has shown that Google’s first page results have an average number of words of 1,890. Your product descriptions are not that long, I’m willing to bet. But for a blog post, that is a perfect length.
Besides being a place to use keywords, there are many advantages to blogging:
You can create internal links in your blog. These links may allow visitors to access other blog posts or product pages. Blogging increases your chances of also making backlinks with your brand. Others may use information from one of your posts for reference or feature. In consequence, you are credited with a link as the source.
Your organic search ranking improves by combining these internal links and backlinks. Moreover, these blogs offer you the chance to display your products and services. You can give demonstrations or step-by-step guides to encourage visitors to shop.
Long-tail keywords are very specialized keywords or sentences that help searchers. They have low competition and a high conversion rate for the search volume.
More than half of all searches are at least four words.
When conducting keyword research, which we discussed earlier, you should keep this in mind. Add your eCommerce website with long-tail keywords. Place them in the names and descriptions of your products.
The keywords for long-tail do not have such a high volume search. This means that other brands are less competitive with keywords for their SEO strategies.
But it increases your chances for those specific terms to be the highest search result. That’s why keywords with long-tails usually have higher conversion rates.
Look at the picture of how long-tail keywords work.
This also facilitates consumer life. They will only search for one item, using descriptive keywords, instead of scrolling through product pages on a website. Since you offer exactly what you want, they will more likely buy from your eCommerce site.
Meta descriptions are short, 155-character-long, summaries of pages’ contents.
From the consumer point of view, a meta description page provides more information when you click on the search results link.
There is some debate about whether these descriptions affect SEO. The right meta description can help, yet, increase the chance of clicking on your website when they search results are obtained.
I highlighted the meta descriptions I found in my search for “Men Slim Fit Shirt” in Google — a very wide search parameter
The best descriptions for meta include words that can be used. See some of the above examples:
find
discover
shop
Meta descriptions are also supposed to include keywords. Try to make yours unique so it stands apart from the crowd.
Each site employs a little different strategy, as you can see from the above results, to give it the edge over competitors Meta descriptions
On a concluding note, you need to focus on your SEO strategy to generate new leads and maximize the reach of your website.
This will help you push sales.
Carry out research with keywords. Fill in your product descriptions and titles with long-tail keywords. Start blogging, add your posts with keywords. Happy sales folks.
