SEO for retailers

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 retailers, that means getting product pages with stock and delivery details, store locations and hours and returns information right, because shoppers comparing products online and in store want to buy online or visit the store without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Shoppers comparing products online and in store want to buy online or visit the store.

A retailer website usually has to handle an online store with a simple checkout, clear product and category pages, gift cards, store location pages and email sign-up for offers and new stock.

An online store with a simple checkout: shoppers who are ready to buy leave if checkout is slow or confusing.

Clear product and category pages: shoppers compare details and stock before they decide.

Gift cards: gift cards suit buyers who are unsure what to choose.

Store location pages: shoppers search for the nearest store and its hours.

Email sign-up for offers and new stock: a list of past customers is one of the few channels you own.
