For any e-commerce business, driving highly-targeted traffic to your digital storefront is a key priority.

E-commerce SEO is the process of optimising your online store and product listings to increase visibility for relevant keywords and queries on search engines like Google and Bing. It encompasses both technical and on-page strategies to make it easier for search engines to find, understand and rank your e-commerce website and its pages.
Search engine optimisation on an e-commerce site requires a strategic approach to boost discoverability and CTRs (click-through rates) on product listings and transactional pages. The end goal is not just to increase organic traffic, but to attract visitors who are ready to purchase, maximising your revenue per visit.

E-commerce SEO FAQ’s

What is e-commerce SEO and why is it important for my online store?

E-commerce SEO is the process of optimising an online store to improve its visibility in search engine results, making it easier for potential customers to find your products. This involves optimising product pages, category pages, and other content with relevant keywords, and improving site structure and navigation. Without optimising for e-commerce SEO, your site could be missing out on traffic from potential customers.

How does e-commerce SEO differ from traditional SEO for websites?

Traditional SEO focuses on optimising general content, blogs, and service pages, whereas e-commerce SEO specifically targets product and category pages. It involves strategies such as optimising product descriptions with relevant keywords, ensuring high-quality images with alt text, and implementing user-friendly URL structures for products. There’s also a large emphasis on managing inventories and integrating customer reviews, all to improve visibility and drive targeted traffic to your site, with the intention of growing purchases.

What key factors influence search engine rankings for e-commerce websites?

Key factors include the quality and optimisation of product descriptions, the use of relevant keywords, and the presence of unique, high-quality content. Technical elements such as site speed, mobile-friendliness, and secure transactions (HTTPS) are extremely important as well. Additionally, user experience factors like intuitive site navigation, easy-to-use category structures, and internal linking can significantly impact rankings. Other important factors include obtaining backlinks from reputable sources and managing customer reviews and ratings.

How do you measure the success of e-commerce SEO campaigns, and what metrics do you track?

At Soap Media, we track many key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of our clients’ e-commerce campaigns. These KPIs include organic traffic, which shows the number of visitors coming to your site through search engines, and search engine rankings for targeted keywords, indicating how well your products are positioned in search results. We also monitor conversion rates, which reveal how many visitors make purchases, and overall sales revenue that’s generated from organic search. Other important metrics include bounce rate, average session duration and pages per session, which help us assess user engagement and experience.
