Are you determined to get your Ecommerce site noticed online but not sure where to start?<\/p>\n

According to Forbes, black hat SEO tactics<\/a> are often unintentional.<\/p>\n

These underhanded practices will affect your rankings and can get your Ecommerce site penalized or blacklisted.<\/p>\n

Don’t take risks. Follow our 3 easy SEO sales tips to help your Ecommerce site rise to the top of the Search Engine pile legitimately and keep you in business.<\/p>\n

1. Use Long Tail Keywords<\/h2>\n

Are you trying to rank for the same keywords as hundreds of other sites? Your keywords should closely mimic the search behavior of your customers.<\/p>\n

When you have an Ecommerce site with many products. Each product presents an opportunity to rank for a keyword.<\/p>\n

For example, let’s look at a page optimised for the keyword ‘kratom capsules<\/a>‘. A quick Google search for these keywords reveals that this Ecommerce store cannot compete with all the others selling the same product.<\/p>\n

If you look at the bottom of the search page you will see a wide range of alternative searches that may perform better. ‘Kratom capsules Maeng da’ is an obvious one.<\/p>\n

You can do the same kind of research for your own Ecommerce website or use a keyword finder such as SEOBook or Google AdWords to help you out.<\/p>\n

Harness the power of local marketing<\/a> to reduce your keyword competition.<\/p>\n

2. Optimize Each Page for SEO Sales<\/h2>\n

An SEO Audit will point out where your Ecommerce website is failing to generate sales. SEMRush, Screaming Frog or SEOptimer are good ones to try out.<\/p>\n

These crawl your website and highlight duplicate content, missing tags and other SEO misses that are keeping your website way down the page rankings.<\/p>\n

These mistakes are easy enough to fix once you know where they are. But there’s more.<\/p>\n

Every single page has to call out to your customers to generate sales.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to do it-<\/p>\n

Heading Tags<\/h3>\n

Make sure your heading tags are unique and descriptive. Instead of ‘cocktail-dress’ try ‘floral-cocktail-dress-petite-sizes’.<\/p>\n

Descriptions<\/h3>\n

Let your website be your salesman. Describe why your product is essential to the reader, and make use of those long tail keywords while you’re at it.<\/p>\n

HTTPS<\/h3>\n

Configure your site with an SSL certificate.<\/p>\n

Having that magical ‘s’ at the start of your page URL is a signal to Google and your customers that your site is legitimate.<\/p>\n

Snippets<\/h3>\n

Snippets are those bits of information that appear below search results in Google. Product rich snippets<\/a> which include ratings and viewership statistics perform better in searches.<\/p>\n

These can be set up in Google AdWords.<\/p>\n

3. Calls to Action<\/h2>\n

Usher the consumer all the way to the ‘Pay’ button with clear calls to action.<\/p>\n

This is another chance to slip in a few keywords. For example, instead of ‘Buy’ use ‘Buy Product Name’ in your call to action.<\/p>\n

Be Prepared for the Flow of Traffic<\/h2>\n

No matter how brilliant your SEO sales marketing is, you won’t make a cent if your customers can’t complete their purchase.<\/p>\n

Make sure your website is mobile-compatible and up and running at its best when they arrive. People don’t hang around for more than a few seconds waiting for pages to load.<\/p>\n

Reliable Website monitoring<\/a> goes a long way towards making sure your website remains a functioning, sales-friendly tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
