SEO for online stores

SEO makes the pages your customers need easy for search engines to find and understand, and easy for people to act on once they arrive. For online stores, that means getting product and category pages, shipping and returns and checkout speed right, because shoppers ready to buy want to buy without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Shoppers ready to buy want to buy.

A online store website usually has to handle a fast, trustworthy checkout, product pages that answer buying questions, email capture for repeat sales, product reviews and gift cards.

A fast, trustworthy checkout: every extra step at checkout loses some buyers.

Product pages that answer buying questions: size, fit, materials and delivery times decide the sale.

Email capture for repeat sales: repeat customers cost less to reach than new ones.

Product reviews: shoppers look for reviews from other buyers before paying.

Gift cards: gift cards add sales in gift seasons.
