SEO services for online stores

The purpose of an online store is to sell products online. It differs from an informational service website in that it has more structural categories, subcategories, and filter pages. Internal SEO for an online store requires more time and effort in preparing the store's pages, planning internal links, and preparing the visitor's path.

In competitive markets, the SEO benefits of an online store in attracting targeted visitors to its pages depend on the use of targeted content when planning the online store. E-commerce requires larger quantities of optimized keywords and a deep understanding of internal SEO.

The most common mistakes on online store websites:

• No text content, or only a minimal amount is used.
• Too many keywords are prepared for a single working page.
• Landing pages do not accurately match the visitor's search keyword.
• Weak internal link structure.
• Poorly prepared product pages.
• Incorrect category grouping.
• Use of duplicate content and titles.
• Non-indexed product pages.

What is important to know when planning to optimize an online store?

When planning to optimize an online store, you need to know:

• What are the most important categories of products and services?
• What problems do the products and services solve?
• Who are the direct competitors selling these products and services?

How to select keywords?

The position of a keyword generates organic visitor traffic. Unlike an informational service website, there can be many keywords suitable for an online store.

By choosing the most popular keywords with the highest number of searches, you can compete with the strongest market players who allocate large budgets to maintain their positions. Therefore, after researching keywords, depending on the client's goals, an SEO specialist may recommend choosing a larger number of keywords with fewer searches.

What should you be prepared for?

When starting optimization work during your season, you need to take into account that it will take several months for SEO results to appear before visitors find the site themselves through organic results. If the season has already started and it is important to be found "here and now," you can use Google Ads paid ads on Google search, supplemented by a remarketing service.

After performing an online store audit according to the list of mandatory and recommended tasks, about 80% of the work may be programmatic. If the goal is not to maximize the internal SEO of the online store, but only to improve its visibility in Google search, we will provide a list of mandatory and recommended tasks. It is recommended that these tasks be performed by the online store developers.

It will be necessary to add content to the website according to the recommendations provided, so you will have to decide whether you can allocate internal company resources to this or entrust the content writing to us.

When to start planning SEO work?

SEO actions are definitely necessary:

• When you plan to update the design of your online store.
• When you plan to change your CMS (content management system).
• When you cannot be found on Google search by the most important product and service categories.
• When your online store is newly created.
• When you plan to try e-commerce in another country and need to assess whether there is demand for your product or service there.

Is it possible that an online store does not need SEO work?

It is not recommended to invest in SEO for an online store:

• if the most important categories of goods and services are not competitive in terms of price or quality.
• if the margin on the most important categories of goods and services is low and the investment in SEO will not pay off.
• If you think that your website only needs positions and you do not want to add additional content to it.
