Ecommerce SEO: An Overview
Ecommerce SEO pertains to a subset of search engine optimization methods and processes that seek to improve the visibility of an online store’s webpages on searches for its products on search engines. It differs from “regular” SEO in terms of landing page focus, content strategy, technical SEO best practices, and backlink targeting.
Where regular SEO is typically focused on optimizing the home page and product or service pages for search, ecommerce SEO is mostly about improving search visibility for product category pages and individual SKUs. While regular SEO is typically driven by goals such as lead generation and sales, ecommerce SEO’s holy grail is sustainable customer acquisition through ubiquity in search engine results pages (SERPs).
Why Does Ecommerce SEO Matter?
Simply put, search engines are the best driver of highly targeted traffic on the internet. Nothing else comes close. When your ecommerce website is found on search, the odds that the visitor has buying intent is significantly higher than when they find your online store via email, social media, or referring websites.
A strong presence in search results also means that people are constantly exposed to your brand —whether they end up visiting your webpages or not. This allows you to establish intangible but valuable mindshare in your target market, enhancing your chances of converting them into paying customers down the line.
Search engine traffic isn’t just highly targeted, it’s also virtually limitless. Billions of queries are entered on Google alone each day and dominating even a few keywords can spell the difference between rapid business growth and relative obscurity. When done correctly, ecommerce SEO can carve a large market share for your business.
Finally, increasing search engine traffic is free. You don’t have to pay Google a single penny for it to send thousands of customers your way every day. You only need to apply SEO best practices to your website and out-optimize the competition.
