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.

E-commerce SEO FAQ’s
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.
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.
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.
