Nearly 70 percent of Americans shop online. If you have an e-commerce site and your aim is to steer some of that online shopping traffic your way, you’ll want to have a general understanding of e-commerce SEO basics. Here’s what beginners need to keep in mind, brought to you by the experts at Saba SEO, a premier\u00a0<\/span>San Diego SEO agency<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Your Product Research<\/h2>\n

Start by looking at how your products are being searched for online. This information will help you determine how to effectively present what you have to offer on your website or in any off-site promotions you may be planning. Tools like Answer the Public can be used to give you some beneficial search insights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Create a Good First Impression with Your Website<\/h2>\n

Because revenue is typically generated directly on an e-commerce website even when customers get to the site from an outside source (such as a paid ad), it’s important to have a well-optimized website. Achieve this goal with SEO by: <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u2022 Having customized landing pages with specific goals in mind<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u2022 Being mindful of website navigation features<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u2022 Keeping an eye on page load time and other technical aspects of SEO<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u2022 Making sure your e-commerce site is mobile-friendly<\/span><\/p>\n

Use Long-Tail Keywords<\/h2>\n

These are groups of related words or terms that are more reflective of customer intent. If your keywords are too broad, you may not attract customers who are ready to take the desired action. SEMrush is one of many tools you can use to do some keyword research. Another way to accomplish this goal is to check out what keywords and phrases your e-commerce competitors are already using.<\/span><\/p>\n

Produce Relevant, Useful Content<\/h2>\n

A growing number of consumers prefer to know something about a brand before they make a purchase. This is where fresh, relevant content comes into play. From blogs and social media posts to video uploads on your YouTube channel, there are many ways to promote your e-commerce site online. High-quality content can also be your best friend when it comes to keeping previous and existing customers engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make Your Site Secure<\/h2>\n

If you use a hosting platform that’s not secured with a valid SSL certificate, Google could penalize you. Website security is also important for your customers. You want visitors to feel comfortable entering their personal info when they make a purchase via your site.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Lastly, make sure your site has things like readable URLs, an updated sitemap, engaging meta descriptions, compelling calls to action, easily digestible content, and links from trusted sources. All these SEO elements will ultimately make your e-commerce site more appealing to both searchers and search engines.<\/span>
