When it comes to selling your goods and services online, having a higher visibility in search, particularly for specific products and services, can translate into more sales. According to a 2008 Nielsen Global Online Survey, 31% of all online purchases came from search.

Search engine optimization for an ecommerce or catalog site includes looking at the ecommerce platform, its flexibilities, rigidities, functionalities and other inner workings (including URL formations and query strings) as it relates to SEO and determining the best course of action within your overall online marketing strategy.

Ecommerce SEO can

• Drive more qualified purchasers directly to your product pages
• Help reach consumers with on-site and off-site recommendations
• Increase the number of terms your site is ranking for in search engines

SEO for Ecommerce Services & Methodology

The process of optimizing an ecommerce site to do well in organic search begins with an exploratory process where we become familiar with the products or services being sold as well as your site and the audience you’re trying to reach. From there, an ecommerce SEO package can be catered to meet your needs and can include an ecommerce assessment, keyword research, information design and site architecture as it pertains to helping to establish higher rankings in the search engines or converting visitors into additional sales, content and copy writing and so forth.

Ecommerce search engine optimization packages can work as a stand-alone best practices guideline based entirely on the specifics of your site or as a quarterly SEO package, allowing for specific page and term recommendations to be accompanied by additional general recommendations catered to your particular industry.
