But, to do that, you\u2019ve got to understand SEO, so let me make it easier for you.<\/p>\n<p>Search engine optimization, or SEO, determines where your website ranks in the search engine results pages (SERPs). Every time you do an online search, the websites that appear on the first (and second, etc.) page are not there randomly; far from it.<\/p>\n<p>Their rankings are often the result of strategic efforts made by a skilled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softtrix.com\/seo-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">search engine optimization company<\/a>, which uses proven techniques to improve visibility, drive traffic, and enhance online authority.<\/p>\n<p>Google and other search engines choose which sites rank whereby various ranking factors.<\/p>\n<p>There are upward of 200 ranking factors Google will prioritize, which I know seems like an impossible number to keep track of. Obviously, the more ranking factors your site has, the higher your rank, but focusing on the following factors will put your eCommerce website in a better position:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brand signals or the reputation of your brand.<\/li>\n<li>Quality of links, including internal, outbound, and backlinks.<\/li>\n<li>Social signals refer to how much engagement you get when you post on social media.<\/li>\n<li>Technical SEO, like schema markup, tells search engine crawlers what your site&#8217;s content is. Mobile friendliness and site loading speed also go under this umbrella.<\/li>\n<li>The quality of the user experience or UX.<\/li>\n<li>Domain age and authority, with more established sites being ranked better because they have a longer-standing reputation.<\/li>\n<li>Keyword optimization is how well your website uses the keywords you\u2019ve identified. For brands selling on marketplaces, investing in <a href=\"https:\/\/salesduo.com\/amazon-seo-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Amazon SEO services<\/a> can also improve product discoverability, keyword rankings, and organic sales within Amazon search results.<\/li>\n<li>Content quality, which Google highly prioritizes. Content should be relevant and engaging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/ecommerce-best-practices\/\">Read also: 19 eCommerce Best Practices to Win Customer Confidence<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Components_of_eCommerce_SEO\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Key Components of eCommerce SEO<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve gotten a feel for the basics of eCommerce SEO, I want to dive a lot deeper into the components that make up your ranking factor.<\/p>\n<p>Changing and improving these is the only way to help your site rank higher.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Site structure<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Imagine someone handed you a path map and asked you to get from Point A to Point B. You could make sense of the map contents and find a clear path guiding you forward, right?<\/p>\n<p>I mention that because it\u2019s a lot like how your website structure works.<\/p>\n<p>Google and other search engines use web crawlers, which are sometimes called spider bots. The whole responsibility of a crawler is to peruse your website and determine what its hierarchy or structure is.<\/p>\n<p>If the crawler has a map, aka a clear structure, it can navigate through the site and delineate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/marketing\/landing-pages\">landing pages<\/a>, the about page, the contact page, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The crawler then reports this information back to Google or whatever the search engine is, influencing where you\u2019ll rank. The murkier your site structure is, the more dangerous it is to rank your site well because who knows what it could contain? It\u2019s like going through a haunted house without a flashlight.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are plenty of tools out there for testing your website architecture to determine where you fall short. Next, you can enlist these best practices:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Build a sitemap in XML and HTML format. The former is what crawlers use, so all the URLs on your website should only be presented in plain text. If you support your eCommerce website on that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/products\/crm\">CRM<\/a>, WordPress has plugins for building XML and HTML sitemaps for you.<\/li>\n<li>Simplify your URLs, cutting out all the extraneous letters, numbers, punctuation, and other junk that looks fishy. You can rely on WordPress to automatically produce a usable, SEO-friendly URL. Other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/best-cms-for-ecommerce\/\">CMS tools<\/a> also offer this capability.<\/li>\n<li>Use top-down navigation to make your website easier to use. Your customers and leads will also appreciate this small touch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/landing-page-optimization-practices\/\">Read more: 12 Great Landing Page Optimization Practices &#8212; The Ultimate Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Keyword research<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Targeting the right keywords is a huge part of SEO success. I wrote an entire guide dedicated to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/ecommerce-keyword-research\/\">eCommerce keyword research<\/a> and optimization that you should really check out if you haven\u2019t already. Here\u2019s an abridged version.<\/p>\n<p>Your keyword strategy will use a mix of short- and long-tail keywords. Short-tail keywords are briefer but more generic, whereas long-tail keywords have more specificity. Compare \u201cdental service for a sore tooth\u201d versus \u201cdental service for the sore tooth in Chicago,\u201d and you\u2019ll see what I mean.<\/p>\n<p>Besides that, you must also select relevant keywords. Tools like Google Keyword Planner and SEMrush will help you identify the keywords your target market has searched for or could search for.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have an in-house SEO expert, collaborating with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agencyplatform.com\/seo-reseller-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">SEO reseller<\/a> can streamline your keyword research and optimization process, ensuring you target the right search terms with professional precision.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve identified them, you must determine the difficulty of the keywords. In other words, how much search volume do they get?<\/p>\n<p>A keyword with a lot of search volume is too popular and will be difficult to rank for, but one without much search volume won\u2019t impact your SEO. You\u2019ll rank for a keyword no one cares about. The right difficulty is in between, with a rate of 30% to no more than 70%.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that keyword research is always in flux, meaning that your customers will have changing preferences, and the keywords in your industry, in general, can be different. You must be ready to research a new set of keywords when the occasion calls for it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">On-page SEO<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Next, there\u2019s on-page SEO, which refers to the changes made on your website (hence the name on-page). These small tweaks can overall make a huge impact on your ranking, so here are some to add to your to-do list and why they matter. If you&#8217;re working with an <a href=\"https:\/\/bulldogdigitalmedia.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">SEO agency<\/a>, these are often the first areas they&#8217;ll address::<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Insert keywords: <\/strong>You\u2019ve found great keywords, so now it\u2019s time to use them. You can insert keywords in your website&#8217;s titles, URLs, headers, metadata, alt data, and body content. However, the key is to use them with some restraint, so maybe one keyword every 100 to 300 words. If you do more than that, you\u2019ll end up keyword stuffing, which overuses the keyword. Google punishes keyword stuffers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optimize your website for mobile:<\/strong> With <a href=\"https:\/\/thriveagency.com\/news\/75-mobile-surfing-stats-on-internet-traffic-from-mobile-devices-updated\/#:~:text=3.,desktops%20(Source%3A%20Statista).\">98% of people relying on mobile devices<\/a> for their internet browsing, your eCommerce site must be optimized for mobile users. Here\u2019s how to do that:\n<ul>\n<li>Improve your website loading speed.<\/li>\n<li>Compress your images.<\/li>\n<li>Limit the use of pop-ups or forego them altogether.<\/li>\n<li>Prioritize clear, easy-to-use navigation.<\/li>\n<li>Make your site responsive by selecting appropriate themes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improve content relevance: <\/strong>If you wrote a bunch of content without doing a lick of keyword research before, you don\u2019t have to dump all your hard work. Instead, retool the old posts and triple-check that your new content calendar is catered to your target market.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add metadata: <\/strong>Metadata appears on web pages, videos, and images. You can incorporate it into your website by writing meta descriptions for blog and website content and adding meta tags to other content. The point is to solidify your website hierarchy further.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build internal links: <\/strong>Anyone can slap-dash a few internal links together and call it a day. The right way to add internal links for SEO is to link to relevant pages and articles on your site that will genuinely help the reader by providing more information. You should also write clear anchor text rather than \u201cclick here.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optimize your images: <\/strong>Reduce your image size via compression so the quality is still good, but your site can load faster. Add metadata in the form of alt tags to your images that describe what the image is about.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fix your URLs: <\/strong>Yes, this is your reminder to go back and make your URLs SEO-friendly. Insert your keywords in the URL, remove junk data from the HTML, and make it more legible using hyphens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/product-descriptions\/\">Read also: The Secrets to Writing a Killer Product Description<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Off-page SEO<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve mastered on-page SEO, it\u2019s time to turn your attention to off-page strategies. As you probably guessed from the name, these SEO measures don\u2019t directly involve your website, although you still get a ranking boost if they\u2019re done right. They are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Link building: <\/strong>Building reputable links is the key to a healthier SEO rank. Anyone can buy links from the marketplace, but that\u2019s how your website ranks sink even further. True link building, especially when guided by experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluethings.co\/blog\/best-enterprise-seo-agencies-companies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">enterprise SEO companies<\/a>, requires these kinds of measures:\n<ul>\n<li>Guest blogging<\/li>\n<li>Working with an influencer<\/li>\n<li>Relationship building<\/li>\n<li>Publishing high-authority, sharable content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reviews: <\/strong>Reviews are one of your best forms of social proof, so you should want them for that reason alone. Besides that, reviews also indicate that you\u2019re a trustworthy business, which Google and other search engine crawlers pay attention to when deciding where you rank.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Directories: <\/strong>Joining reputable directories is a great way to bolster your brand and gain more backlinks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Google Business profile: <\/strong>You should also claim and optimize your Google Business profile. Google will look at the information in your profile and compare it with the NAP data (name, address, phone number) in the various directories you joined and those you placed on. If everything matches, it helps your SEO.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Technical SEO<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Although not the easiest to master, technical SEO elements such as website hierarchy, indexability, mobile optimization, and site speed are critical for building a stronger website that will rank favorably.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve touched on all those points except indexability, so here\u2019s a closer look.<\/p>\n<p>Indexability refers to how easily a search engine can index your website. That\u2019s important, considering your site can\u2019t appear in search results unless and until it\u2019s indexed.<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready to get your site indexed? I hope so because here are some tips coming at you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cut all your nofollow links.<\/li>\n<li>Build an XML sitemap if you haven\u2019t already.<\/li>\n<li>Review no-index tags.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When finished, you can submit your website for indexing through Google Search Console.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/competition-keywords\/\">Read more: A Brief Guide on Mastering Competition Keywords<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advanced_Strategies_for_eCommerce_SEO\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Advanced Strategies for eCommerce SEO<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve built an eCommerce SEO strategy, but why stop there?<\/p>\n<p>The following strategies are more advanced but will drive results.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Content marketing<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The backbone of your SEO campaign is, without a doubt, content.

Remember, their missteps can guide you to success faster, and the types of backlinks they build can help influence your own.<\/p>\n<p>A competitor analysis can also identify audience segments you need to target, keywords in your industry or niche you might have missed, content types that resonate with your target market, and communication styles they\u2019re receptive to.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/ecommerce-marketing-guide\/\">Read also: Winning in a Competitive World &#8212; eCommerce Marketing 101<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SEO_Tools_and_Resources\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">SEO Tools and Resources<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Throughout your SEO journey, you can lean on an assortment of tools to help you strengthen your weak spots and make your eCommerce website even better.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Keyword research tools<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are more than enough keyword research tools on the market, so you should have your pick whether you need a free option or can afford paid software.<\/p>\n<p>Names like SEMrush, Google Keyword Planner, Moz Keyword Explorer, KWFinder, Google Trends, Jaaxy, and Keyword Snatcher will not steer you wrong.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_62472\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-62472\" style=\"width: 589px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Find-Your-Campaign-Keywords-with-Keyword-Planner-\u2013-Google-Ads-1.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62472\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Find-Your-Campaign-Keywords-with-Keyword-Planner-\u2013-Google-Ads-1.png\" alt=\"Google Keyword Planner\" width=\"589\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Find-Your-Campaign-Keywords-with-Keyword-Planner-\u2013-Google-Ads-1.png 1242w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Find-Your-Campaign-Keywords-with-Keyword-Planner-\u2013-Google-Ads-1-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Find-Your-Campaign-Keywords-with-Keyword-Planner-\u2013-Google-Ads-1-1024x496.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Find-Your-Campaign-Keywords-with-Keyword-Planner-\u2013-Google-Ads-1-768x372.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 589px) 100vw, 589px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-62472\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Google Keyword Planner<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>How do you use these tools?
