How To Optimize An ECommerce Website
By: Markus Skupeika

Do you run an eCommerce website? If your answer is yes, you must read the following article?

Most of the eCommerce websites depend on visitors from organic search to run their business. But only a few of them get the desired objective. We agree that, the sales volume of an eCommerce website depends on different aspects like business opportunity, business model, target market size etc. But if you depend on organic search to get more business, which is the most cost effective way too, you must improve search engine ranking.

But the best news is that if you are a little bit SEO friendly, you can create thousands of search engine and visitor friendly pages and get them indexed. To add to this, you can easily target the keyword long tail (which is otherwise very tough to put together) in an eCommerce website and get a lot of unique visitors to boost your online business. And it depends on the number of products you sell or offer via that website. All you need to do is to create unique content for all these pages. The whole content writing process follows a simple line of production - product description, features and highlights, special offer, feedback, rating etc.


Here are some simple SEO tips to help you get the most out of an eCommerce website.

  • Do not depend on the manufacturer's product details alone while writing product description. If there are other people selling the same product on the web, there are high chances of ending with duplicate content.

  • Concentrate on website navigation and product mapping - you can use the umbrella pattern and create separate category and landing page for different categories.

  • Use the product name in title, H1 and H2 tags of the content. And do not forget to use your company name at the end of the title for branding. This would pay you back in future.

  • If you can create separate pages for each product, it would help you a lot to optimise each page.

  • Do not forget to write unique Meta Document (description and keyword) for each page. If there are thousands of pages, you can create a rule. But try to create unique Meta document for each page.

  • Take users' comment on each product page - this would get you more unique content and may help you to catch the keyword long tail.

  • Keep at least one static link for each page. If necessary write and publish articles in your site and link to related pages.

  • Use alt tags - they are must for eCommerce websites. You can also use caption for each product image and put keywords in it.

  • Create a XML sitemap and submit it to Google.

  • If you are offering solutions to local crowd, try to use the location name in the title and other pages. You can contact a local SEO company (for example Florida Ft Lauderdale SEO Company).

  • Do not forget to use the footer links to get more internal links.
  • Use a powerful search engine for internal search - use different search verticals and make the search process as simple as possible depending on target market.

  • Create a section for similar products in every product page.

  • Get links - as many as possible from different sources. The manufacturers' websites can be good sources of one way link.

  • Engage the readers with the process - they can spread the word about you.

    It is not tough to get better search engine rankings for an eCommerce website for different keywords - all you need is some SEO experience and understanding of latest developments.
