SEO: how can e-commerce merchants leverage it?

 

As advanced in a previous article, SEO helps e-commerce merchants attract more clients. Let us look at how it can be leveraged.

Very often, when customers worry about the reliability of an online store, they rely on Google search results. This means that they will consider the shops found on the first page of a search result as the best in a specific industry or category. Moreover, if your site appears first, you will have an advantage over your competitors.

So, how can you use SEO in your online store? It can be utilised in your product descriptions, on your About Us page, in your blog posts and your home page. Google will analyse your whole website to determine how high it should appear on their list. Thus, incorporating it on just one page is not enough.

The best way to leverage SEO is to start a blog. Several retailers have been using this method. How to know which words or phrases to add to your online content? You must conduct a keyword research for your online store. You can do so by using a specialised online SEO tool, looking at what your competitors are doing, utilising the autocomplete feature on Google or having a look at its “related searches” tab.
