SEO optimization for ecommerce – a sure step towards increasing sales
SEO optimization is necessary for any type of website, but even more so for online shops where the business activity is 100% online and the main goals are to increase monthly sales, increase average monthly orders and increase average monthly order value
Having an SEO optimised online store increases your chances of ranking in the top Google results, increases the performance of your online business and improves the user experience and interaction with your website – so important in the buying process.
Moreover, an SEO optimized website is a website ready to bring performance from campaigns launched through other marketing channels such as Google Ads. campaigns, Facebook Ads. campaigns or email marketing campaigns.
SEO optimization for ecommerce – a highly complex process
SEO optimization for ecommerce comes with certain actions in addition to other types of websites, which results in a more complex process and more time efforts.
The SEO optimization process requires advanced SEO skills because the structure and volume of data you have to work with on an e-commerce site is much larger and more varied than on a presentation, service or product catalogue site.
The results of an online shop optimization process will be seen over time, because firstly it is a natural process, specific to SEO services, and secondly, as more analysis and implementation is required, it is natural that it takes longer.
In any case, there are many other factors that shape the pace of evolution of organic visibility in the search engine (the history of the store, the platform on which it was developed, the industry, the competition, etc.), which is why no two projects are alike and there are no general rules.
