Congratulations for taking the first step towards transforming your business.

You have landed on this article, you must be making an attempt to find marketing strategies for your Ecommerce website or want to know how to optimize your store to rank in top Google searches.

In this expert-written guide you will understand how to generate more leads and customers for your Ecommerce site, I bet in the next few minutes what you learn will blow your mind.

So, let’s start by understanding some easy concepts and then dig deeper into the world of sales and conversion in your Ecommerce store.

E-commerce-Retail-Sales
A study reveals that global eCommerce sales have been steadily eating up the retail market worldwide. In fact, by 2021, it is estimated to account for 17.5% of the total global retail sales.

Is SEO Important for Ecommerce?

Research says that around 70% of customers use search engines to find a product and know what others have to say about it before making their decision to buy the product and why not, when they can easily choose, compare and most importantly save their time while buying, who won’t?

Google Product Search

I feel you won’t agree less that the Ecommerce business is trending and has totally overpowered the retail sales where a person has to visit the stores, spend long hours and load their cars with purchased goods. In fact, 43% of customers do online research while in the store. Your online store with a low operating cost which is also adding more value to your customers is definitely a win for everyone.

And to win, SEO comes in role!

Ecommerce SEO Marketing Is All About Knowing Customer’s Priority

Just pause and ask yourself, what is unique about your store? Who are your customers and what is that retains the interest of the customers?

“Increasing customer retention rates by 5% increases profits anywhere from 25% to 95%”

If your site can offer a flawless interface to the customer, it will simply convert them into buyers. The entire purchase process should be seamless from adding a product to the cart, to going to the cart page and checking out the process. Let me explain

“Add to Cart” Button Directly Next to the Product Listing

In the below image you can see there are 2 ways of having an add to cart button.

Missing_Cart_Button
Here the only option to buy is by clicking on the product, going to the product page and then adding the product to the cart.

Below is the 1st version users will have to go to the product and only then the product can be added to cart but a small tweak can make a big difference.

Better conversion strategy would be to put the “Add to Cart” button below all the products. Which means 1 less click & reducing the duration of the checkout process. See below.

Add_To_Cart_Button
“Add to cart” button directly below the product listing. 

This is a better strategy because in some cases users might just want to add the product to the cart without losing their current screen. It also saves time. If a user wants to read about the product in detail then there is always an option of doing that. So, basically we have just added a feature for better user experience.

Relevant Images and Description of the Product That Helps Customer to Make a Quick Decision

Customers develop a tentative understanding of the product from the pictures and the description you provide with the product, but before jumping to that we need to discuss how to optimize the URLs, meta descriptions, and other ranking factors on our website.

On-Page SEO of Ecommerce for Search Engines & Users

On-site SEO is the key to perfect eCommerce SEO as the buyer’s journey starts by searching for a product that leads him to your store to a qualified purchase. Your customers, as well as search engines, must get a clear understanding of your products at first glance. This can only be done by optimizing your meta tags, URL structure, heading tags, and images. Keep in mind that your goal is to get high visibility for more traffic.

Role of Your Meta Titles, Descriptions, h1’s & Images and URL Structure

Meta Titles, Descriptions, H1’s & Images, and URL Structure plays a very important role. If optimized correctly they can take your business to the next level. So, without talking much let’s go to the technical part of it and how to attract more traffic by Optimizing them.

Optimize Your Meta Title & Meta Description

Most eCommerce sites use a formula based approach to their meta tags, which looks spammy, and usually follow a pattern like this:

Buy <Heading/ProductName/Category> Online | BrandName

Example of Page Title

It’s easy to see why some Ecommerce stores do this, many have hundreds or thousands of pages. Writing unique titles and meta descriptions can be an overwhelming task

But here’s the thing:

A formula based approach isn’t ideal. It leads to incorrect meta titles and descriptions to a lot of pages. 

Now, I know what you are thinking. There is no way you are going to sit and write meta of each individual page. 

You are right there’s just no way to optimize each individual page one by one. So, let’s try to understand how to accomplish this task by understanding the core of ecommerce.

Your Ecommerce site pages can be classified as follows:

  • Category/Collections pages
  • Subcategory pages
  • Sub-subcategory pages/2nd level subcategory pages
  • Brand pages/Non-transactional pages
  • Product pages
Types of Pages

Since different levels in the hierarchy might contribute to traffic at different levels. It won’t make sense to make 1 template and use that for your whole website. Let’s see what you can do?

There are 3 different ways to go about optimizing these pages:

  1. Dynamic optimization (We talked above)
  2. Manual review and optimization
  3. Combination of dynamic and manual page optimization (Recommended)

If you have thousands of pages, you can’t sit and rewrite all the meta tags right?

So how to save your time? Solution is to put your maximum efforts into writing well-optimized tags for the most important pages. Then use a templated approach for the rest.

I recommend doing manual review for some of the important pages on your site like homepage, non-transactional pages and your some product, category & subcategory pages.

Now you have a meta title & description ready for some of your most important pages. Then study each “set of pages”, and create a varied dynamic formula i.e. creating separate dynamic meta tags for product pages, category and subcategory pages. Let me give you one simple example of Product Page Dynamic Tags:

URL:
https://www.officemonster.co.uk/bookcases/deluxe-bookcase-1200mm-high-with-2-shelves-beech

Page Title:
Get Leading Deluxe bookcase 1200mm high with 2 shelves of oak | Office Monster

Dynamic Code:
Get Leading <Product Name> of <Wood name> | Office Monster

Meta Description:
Office Monster provides an online Deluxe bookcase 1200mm high with 2 shelves of oak products with great quality. Explore our wide range of high-quality products now! ✯ Enjoy Easy Returns ✯ Quick Delivery. Order Online Today!

Dynamic Code:
Office Monster provides online <Product Name> of <Wood name> products with great quality Explore our wide range of high-quality products now! ✯ Enjoy Easy Returns ✯ Quick Delivery. Order Online Today!

Google SERP preview
Google SERP preview of page mentioned above with discussed meta title & meta description.

Repeat the same process for other types of pages which are category & subcategory pages. BOOOOM! You now have meta titles and descriptions on all your pages just by writing well-optimized tags for some and then repeating that for the rest of the pages of a similar type.

Some tips to improve your meta tags:

  • Optimize each product page for the focus keyword
  • Keep dynamic elements concise and brief
  • Your meta titles should motivate the customers to buy it
  • Review how your competitor titles and descriptions are optimized. Learn from them and improve your titles

Now, let me explain how you should go about optimizing your H1 Heading Tag. You need to choose the focus keyword as your H1 tag of the page. If this is a product page, you can choose your product name as the H1 tag and category name for category pages. Just make sure that you don’t have multiple H1 tags on any page and they are not duplicating with each other.

URL Structure Optimization

I will try to explain this by definition. A URL is known as “Uniform Resource Locator”, URLs are read by browsers, human beings, search engines, and software. So an SEO friendly URL is the one that contains the attributes of that page. It should not have any random codes. You should aim to give max information about your product via URL itself, information like its category, type, and name of the product. Let me explain this with an example.

Bad URL:
https://www2.hm.com/en_us/productpage.0570002001.html

Bad URL Example

Good URL:
https://www.nordstromrack.com/shop/Men/Clothing/T-Shirts/Crewneck

Google URL Example

If your URLs on your website are something like this, you need to immediately fix this. I would recommend keeping a “Uniform” URL structure clustered into a hierarchical way from top to bottom.

This is best way to structure your URLs:

  • OnlineShop.com/category-name (category/collections page)
  • OnlineShop.com/category-name/subcategory-name (subcategory page)
  • OnlineShop.com/category-name/subcategory-name/subcategory-name (sub-subcategory page)
  • OnlineShop.com/category-name/subcategory-name/brand-name/product (product page)

SIDENOTE: Whenever you change the URLs, make sure to implement a 301 redirect from the old URL structure to the new URL structure.

>>Why 302 Redirect Can Hurt Your Website and SEO Efforts?

Now our Meta title, meta description & URL structure is ready. Let’s move towards how to optimize images on your website.

Optimizing Images (Alt, Size & Quality)

You need to ensure that the images you provide are of high quality and resolution. Make sure images should replicate the product you are offering as this will sustain the customer’s trust in you.

Refer to the two images below that show the difference in the quality of the image. Which one do you think will support buyers to make a decision?

High Vs Low Image Quality
A higher-quality image on the right leads to better user experience and more chances of conversion.

Together with the image quality, you need to make sure that you don’t compromise with page load speed. High-quality images tend to have higher size which takes longer to load. A quick hack around this is to use JPEG images instead of PNG or GIF images because JPEG images can offer high-quality images even with size in KBs. Please refer to the image below.

Product Image Size Variation
In the above image you can see 3 same quality images with different sizes. JPEG occupies the least space.

Bonus Tip 🙂

While uploading images you can rename them and add descriptive names to make it easy for search engines to categorize them correctly.

Creating Image Description
The Jacket image on the left has a much better name as compared to the right side image.

Add a description to the product to give an extensive idea of the product. Use Keywords in the description to make it easy for search engines to find you.

Easy Checkout

“Seven of every ten visitors leave the checkout without buying. Optimize your checkout process to turn more visitors into customers.”

Once the customer has selected the product, you need to make it a convenient check out. Customers lose interest in the case of too many steps to check out and the final buy.

The following images show you the most effective way to design your check out.

Complex checkout process
Complex checkout process is a major reason why people leave the website while purchasing.

Connect to Variety of Payment Portals & Make It an Easy Buy

As people are moving towards the online purchase, they ask for complete set up online, from knowing the product to the final payments. It is always advisable to connect the final payment to the known online portals.

Bonus Tip 🙂

All the above-mentioned website enhancements are important but to take it to the next level there are more things which you can do.

Showing Crisp and Clear Shipping & Offer Messages

Showing crisp and clear Shipping & Offers related messages to excite your customers into buying more.

Offer and Shipping
Effective way of showing any message to your customers for better conversion.

Or something like this

Free Shipping and Easy Returns
Another way to show important messages on your website.

Showcase Reviews on Products

According to a study conducted by GE Capital Retail Bank, 61% of shoppers read reviews before they purchase. According to a similar study from the Acuity Group, 41% of B2B shoppers behave the same — reading reviews before deciding to purchase.

Product Reviews
Review gives a good idea about the quality of the product.

Bonus Tip 🙂

Add the SALE Section!

Who doesn’t love a good sale? Some people will buy things they don’t even want or need simply because they’re on sale.

Sales Section

So, your shop is ready. Next is telling your target audience that your brand exists. You need to reach out to them and show them that you can add value and make their life easy

Without saying much let’s talk about the process where we will work on marketing our website to the outside world.

There are some pre-requisite of the market – you need to know your target audience, what they are typing while searching for your product. This is where knowing the right keyword comes into play. Let’s Know how!

Find the Right SEO Keywords for Your Online Store

How will a customer reach your site?…An obvious answer is through search engines or paid ads or email marketing but for everything you need the right set of keywords.

For searches, customers will insert a few words or a phrase to gather information or buy the product. So, if you want to be found, optimise your keywords.

Keywords are the building blocks of any SEO campaign. Your list of keywords have a direct impact on your Google ranking. So choosing the right keywords for your Ecommerce website is what you really need to work with.

Here is my previous post on how to find the right keywords for your business.

Don’t have enough time to read another blog?…here is a quick summary to the blog:

  • Identify all the terms related to your business,
  • Know your targeted audience to decide list of keywords,
  • Think of all the possible combinations user can attempt to search for,
  • Add long tail keywords,
  • Know your competitor’s keywords using tools like SEMrush, Buzzsumo, search metrics,
  • Spy competitor’s keyword strategy,
  • Check performance of existing keywords – ranking, difficulty, location, trending topics,
  • Find new keyword opportunities analyzing users’ search and changing market trends using tools like Keyword Planner, Ubersuggest, Market Samurai, Long Tail Pro, Google Suggestions etc.
  • Filter keywords to create a final list based upon competition and searches.

Bonus Tip 🙂

Focusing on long-tail keywords is a great way of getting relevant traffic. Long-tail keywords are more specific – and usually longer – than more commonly searched for keywords. Long-tail keywords get less search traffic, but will usually have a higher conversion value.

Understanding the Site Structure & Navigation for Your Store

Site structure and navigation is a way by which users navigate to a product’s location. It begins from the main menu to finally navigating you to the final product.

Here, just check whether your website is optimised to make it a smooth navigation for the users to reach out to your final product.

Plan Website Structure Carefully

A well structured website that has all the relevant information on the first page of the website is what really ensures customer’s longevity and revisits the website.

So, let me tell you, how it works..

Ecommerce Navigation
A perfect example how to structure navigation menu of your site. Each level of hierarchy should be accessible without having to jump on a page.

Reducing the conversion steps to reach out to the final product is what you need to target as that gives a good experience to the users and ease to reach to their final buy.

Let’s Understand What Breadcrumbs Are

Another important thing is to check the breadcrumbs on your website.

Breadcrumbs in simple words is your menu bar on the first page of your website that navigates the user’s location, moving from one page to another and then back to homepage. It comprises all the categories followed by the subcategories of the products available on your site.

Breadcrumb Structure
A site-wide breadcrumb looks like this. User can directly jump from bottom level to top in one click.
Breadcrumb Navigation

Breadcrumbs are very important for an Ecommerce site as it focuses on categorization making the site more presentable and easy for the user to search the product. It enhances the chance of people exploring all the aspects leading to a good buying experience.

The Future of E-Commerce: Content Is the King

A good content is what you simply need to bring to the users as it holds the power to drive traffic on your Ecommerce website. Content marketing can give 6 times higher conversion rate of websites

content marketing strategy
Average conversion rate of an Ecommerce site with decent content can be as 3%.

Well, writing good content is what we explain to you here,
You are already handy with the keywords and phrases that customers might be looking for in their search so all you need is to develop is a good piece of a written blog for the customers to understand the product. This will help your customers to stay connected with you as blog posts keep them engaging. In fact, blog posts can convert more potential customers into buyers than any other traditional marketing strategy.

After working with industries like furniture, CBD, office products, Apparel etc., I can say that content is the game changer when it comes to growing and marketing an ecommerce business. Not just that it also helps in branding as well.

Bonus Tip 🙂

Video Content for Visual Information

Include links to the product in your blog to make it easy for the customer to jump to your final product and make a buy.

You can even produce a good piece of content through video that gives clear description and product previews. This enhances the footfall of visitors on your website.

Here is a good video example where product is explained by a video for customers.

And once you are able to reach out to your target audience with good content marketing…all you would need is to shout out loud… and tell We are open!

I will talk about Guest Posting and other off page marketing strategies using content towards the end of this article.

Good SEO Is a Necessity, Not an Option

First ask yourself, what is a good SEO? And why is it really needed for your Ecommerce site?

Let me get straight, If you want to stand strong, SEO is the pillar.

There are some technical – ON page aspects of SEO that ask for your little efforts and they can pay off higher sales to you. This includes title tag tag and meta description that helps search engines filter your content and make you one of the google top results. 

Reach More Customers Online

When you partner with Incrementors, we’ll help you earn visibility for the keywords your target audience is searching, and earn more customers for your store.

Speak with a Strategist

You need to optimize Keywords and content along with title tag and meta descriptions to drive more traffic to your website.

Next, Have you checked the page loading speed of your site?

“Google research says 53% users leave a site that takes longer than three seconds to load.”

To check the speed of your website Google has provided a good tool Pagespeed insight. Check now so that users always leave your site with a purchase.

PageSpeed Insights
Google Page Speed Insight Tool is completely free to use. This is an instance of how your website score would look like. It rates on a scale of 0-100 and provide recommendations too.

Another check, Is your site mobile friendly?

“Research reveals that over 60% of online traffic now comes from smartphones and 50% of mobile user activity results in purchase.”

So, you need to check the responsiveness of your site. You can use the Google tool Responsinator to check the mobile friendliness of your site.

Good vs Bad Mobile Responsiveness

SEO Link Building Tactics for Ecommerce Businesses

Ecommerce business is all about making connections be it with your users or other online websites. When other websites link back to you it sends signals to Google that your site is worth ranking. Link building is one of the off-page SEO strategies that brings organic traffic to your website.

Here are few strategies you can use to create backlinks for your website:

  1. Go for guest posting – Post your content to other large sites that link back to yours as it’s an excellent strategy to increase readers and visitors to your site.
  2. Invite bloggers to review your products to drive more site authority – High authority corresponding to high reliability. In some cases you might have to ship them your product free of cost so that they could try that and share their experience with the audience of their blog.
  3. Offer your content to other bloggers as a resource – It’s like a give and take process. You can write content and  help in saving time for bloggers and journalists. Since you are helping them out with their work you will get acknowledged on their sites.  
  4. Create an account on HARO – HARO, Help A Reporter Out, a well organised website where journalists send you queries which you can respond to as per your set skills. Once you answer the Journalist’s queries and manage to get published in their content, banklink is promised.
  5. List out in the web directories of your niche – Directories are the best source as it provides a complete list of owners and websites of your industry. So it’s like being the part of a group with people from your industry.
  6. Coupon Submission – As an Ecommerce website, it is always smart to offer deals and coupons for your users. Connect with websites that list coupons from various Ecommerce websites. Getting listed in these websites will not only fetch you a backlink but will drive traffic to your site.

7. Get Listed Vendor and Partner Sites – As you are selling a product on your Ecommerce website. You must be in link with wholesalers for buying material for your product and sellers for selling. Ask these people to talk about you and your products on their sites. This is the double benefit of getting a review and a backlink.   

8. Earn Recommendations – Once you deliver the product, ask your users to recommend you. Just try to enter yourself in credible lists.

It is a huge site with thousands of products related to motocross & ATVs. They were struggling to pivot the trend of organic traffic going downward. It was a very interesting and challenging project at the same time as there were hundreds of optimization possibilities due to the scale of the website.

So, finally you have reached the end of this article. I am sure you are now ready to take your ecommerce store to the next level. Thanks for spending some of your precious time on our website. Just to show our gratitude, here is 1 last tip from us…

Thank You Page With an Offer

Have you ever thought that the Thank You page which comes when the purchase is done can also be used as a way to engage with your buyers.

To get the answer of this please read below the answer of “Jacob Landis-Eigsti”.

We asked some of our Industry experts about the tips they can offer to generate Ecommerce website leads. Below you will find a couple of new things to learn which are not mentioned in the above 6000 plus Words article.. 🙂

Jacob Landis-Eigsti, Jacob LE

The #1 tip for an eCommerce website is an incredible thank you page offer. Most companies use a generic “thanks for your order”. That thank you page is the perfect opportunity to build the relationship with the customer and even make them a one time offer. The offer can be a physical product or digital product, but can also be focused around joining the community or sharing their purchase on social media. This one small change has led to an instant increase in order value. This applies to product thank you pages, but can also apply to lead magnets and email opt-ins.

Mike Bran, Founder of ThrillAppeal

A good and eCommerce website increases the sale as there is a greater chance that the attractive design of the site converts website visitors into customers. Following quick and easy tips help optimize and increase the sales lead for an eCommerce website.

Every user who pays a visit to your website is essential, so make sure your website users enjoy their visit. Focus on every single detail of your site, including the pictures of the product and contact forms. Make it easier for them to rate your website based on visually appealing design, navigation ease, and overall useability. It also helps you in making your eCommerce website better.

  • Excellent designing doesn’t mean complex looking visuals for your website. Use simple designs as they are frequently rated by the users. For this, avoid unnecessary information.
  • Don’t forget to add the cart button on the website, and it will help users to add their favorite items in the cart. It is considered as one of the essential strategies for an eCommerce website. Organize the products for the users.
  • Good quality photos play a significant role in deciding whether online shoppers purchase a particular product or not. So your eCommerce website should use quality photos for each product.
  • The menu bar provides great help to the users, make sure it appears on every page of your website. However, you should not put bulk and unnecessary tools or options in the search bar. In the case of broad categories and options, use the drop-down menu.
  • Add a thank you page for the users who purchase something from your eCommerce website.

Gintaras Steponkus, Marketing Manager at Solidguides 

Give them a reason to stay – a unique selling point
Ask yourself why your client should buy your products or services when hundreds of other companies are also offering the same. You must have a unique selling point; it could be “lower price,” “latest products,” or whatever distinguishes yourself from your competitors. Your contact cannot grab the user’s attention right after they get to your website but stating the unique selling point will. You will give them a reason to stay; a customer will know that this eCommerce store is offering me something rare.

Integrate live order reporting feature
Peer-pressure has the potential to accelerate sales. When the e-commerce stores keep displaying pop up to the visitors such as how many orders have been made for the specific product or service in the last 24 hours, it stimulates the thought that this is something good looking or society will not consider it odd. Especially, do this for your best selling products because their order frequency is much higher than others. It would convince new visitors to buy those products as well.

Likewise, you can display a detailed positive review along the product image or video to make decision making easy for your visitors. 

Analyze the search bar queries
Small businesses have less diversity in products as compared to giant stores like Amazon. So, they might not be fulfilling the needs of their clients. Start analyzing the website’s “search bar” queries for the sake of their business growth and increasing sales. By doing so, you would know what your visitors are looking for. It will not only help you add products precisely according to the visitor’s requirements but also increase the average stay time on your website because of finding the desired products. It would lead to an improved SEO ranking.

Add a blog section addressing the user’s intent
A blog makes the SEO ranking much better if they are published with a practical SEO strategy in mind. Small businesses could rank their websites in the above results organically if they start writing the blog according to the user’s intent. Google is the largest search engine, and it is transforming itself into the answer engine as well. We see things like feature snippets, and question-answer sessions because they want their visitors to have an exact answer they are searching for. So, start publishing the content according to the user’s intent to rank among the top results. Moreover, add links to your product pages and make them seem natural to drive traffic through the blog posts.

Add quality image with a reasonable file size
Adding quality images will reduce your website speed if they exceed the reasonable file size. So, always save your images in the format that is suitable for the web such as Adobe Photoshop have a command “save for web.” It will not reduce the time load speed that is crucial for SEO as well as decrease the bounce rate.

In order to generate more sales and revenue your store needs to have an optimized theme to improve conversions. An optimized theme is simple, elegant and most importantly loads efficiently which basically hits two birds with one stone. For example, if your theme loads fast you’ll improve your website score from an SEO point of view, which google loves and the other reason is your customers won’t get frustrated and leave your store and studies show that over 60% of consumers will abandon their basket if your website doesn’t load fast enough. From experience this is true because I’ve had people try and load a product page and if it doesn’t load under 1 second, you can say goodbye to a potential sale. Having your website load fast is a key factor in improving your website sales for any eCommerce website.

Genius Tip: Grab Instant Attention Through Discounts.

When determining what markdown is right for you, go with the highest probable one you can afford and estimate it with the repeat purchase rate and lifetime customer value in mind, not just the worth of the customer’s first purchase.

The no.1 tip I give any e-com store is to offer free shipping. Even if that means increasing prices. A customer will always hesitate at shipping costs so if they look a $100 product with $20 shipping they might start to change their mind. However, if a customer sees the same product for $120, they think they are buying a superior product

As for a specific SEO response. Use Google merchant centre to optimise your product feed. Whilst the merchant centre is used for Google Ads, it is a great way to monitor the health of your feed which Google will be crawled by Google’s bots.

Credibility with Video Content
The easiest aspect to tackle is your credibility and authority within your market. To build this out, you want to create video content for YouTube that you can embed into your website. This video content should include you attending and talking about local events, the local market, client testimonials, and how working with you helped them achieve their personal goals. This provides potential clients with all of the credibility that they need to convince them that you are the expert they are looking for.

One of the biggest changes we did to increase sales almost instantly was making the internal search function more visible on the website. Reviewing data, people that used the internal search convert 5x the amount of people that did not. So we wanted to get more people to use it. We made it much more visible, which increased the usage, which increased conversion rates and sales overnight

One of the most important tips for any eCommerce business is to identify the targeted audience and according to it make the marketing strategy. And here most of the marketers are failing to do so because they don’t have any proper knowledge of how to generate ROI from the right targeted audience. Most of the marketers simply follow basic marketing strategies similar they are doing for the other services based businesses but eCommerce business needs a different strategy and action plan starting from to identify proper targeted audience.

One of the biggest problems with e-commerce is that nearly 98% of visitors won’t buy after just one visit. To counter this, use retargeting ads to re-engage those shoppers and bring them back to complete a purchase. For even better results, run DPA ads on Facebook. With dynamic retargeting ads (DPA), users would see the exact product they previously viewed on your e-commerce store. Make sure to spice up your ad copy with some irresistible offers like discounts or free shipping. We’ve seen sales go up by as much as 74% when using DPA on Facebook.

Run paid ads for your top deals in Facebook
Today everyone, well almost everyone has at least one profile on Facebook if not more than one. Naturally, each of your target audiences can be found on Facebook including your followers, and who purchased from you at least once. This means, through Facebook you can reach all of your audience and beyond them. Create smart paid ads for the most attractive and best deals your eCommerce business offers and run those ads on Facebook regularly. Within a few days from when your ads surface on Facebook, waves of people will start hitting your eCommerce website. At the same time, your sales will also increase proportionately. In this present lockdown period, the viewing time of Facebook has been increased to over 60%. So now, Facebook paid ads have become more relevant and effective to boost sales than ever. However, pandemic or not, running paid ads on Facebook is one of the best methods to increase sales for any eCommerce business.

Use 360-degree Product Images instead of Simple Image:
Static product images do not give the consumer a full picture of the product you are selling, such as front, back, and side angle views. 360-degree gives online customers in-store experience by elevating product display. Online customers can rotate products in all directions equally and zoom in to see the product’s essential details, such as design, quality, and features. Once customers get a real sense of the product’s quality, it will boost their confidence, and they move without hesitation from the consideration stage to purchase stage.

Incorporate easy opportunities to schedule time to speak with a sales associate or schedule an appointment with someone who can help to make the sale happen. Incorporate easy forms to make this happen so that customers can feel organized and taken care of as they are researching and going through the top end of their shopping funnel.

E-commerce marketers can use automated upselling tools to “add other items to customer carts” as they continue along the buys journey and ultimately increase the average price per order for an e-commerce store. These strategies, although 1st generation, do work at scale with the intent of customer upselling and customer acquisition.

Chris Reilley, Parkway Digital

One of the most important steps in turning your eCommerce website visitors into conversions is building a strategic user flow. A clear user flow with easy-to-use navigation and distraction-free design ensures a straightforward user experience for customers. No matter where customers enter your website or how they got there, a strategic user flow helps them reach their end goal smoothly.

Considering user flow before launching your eCommerce website is an important part of conversion-centered design. It’s important that you map out your site’s navigation paths before embarking on design to identify all of the possible pages where website visitors might get stuck. Eliminating these dead ends encourages website visitors to stay on your eCommerce site until they make a purchase.

Amelia Whyman, Global App Testing

The number of sales you make is now determined by the quality of the end-user experience. If something doesn’t work, your customer will shop elsewhere. That’s why you need to thoroughly QA test your website to ensure software bugs don’t disrupt the buyer’s journey. Great UX will encourage more sales, so ensure QA doesn’t take a backseat.

Just the fact that users after chatting with an agent have a 40% higher conversion rate should be enough reason to use live chat for e-commerce. Even Though you may have a clearly defined user journey, your prospect may come to you with unique concerns that only a human can address in real-time.

Kenny Trinh, Netbooknews

Focus on Multi-Channel and Omni-Channel Retail Models: Multi-channel and omnichannel eCommerce business has become a common practice among profitable eCommerce sellers. Both models involve selling your products across multiple online and offline platforms. The difference, however, is in their names. Omni denotes everywhere, while multi signifies many or multiple. With omnichannel eCommerce, you focus on enhancing your sales and marketing efforts to offer a unified customer experience across your brand and presence.

Norhanie Pangulima, Hernorm

Be a trendsetter for the masses
Create something innovative and unique on your website that caters for the masses’ tastes or needs and not just for specific groups of people. It can be a new website tool, a new way to shop online, or a new interface that is user-friendly, convenient, and fast. Stop doing what everybody else is doing, but rather start being creative in both content and website because that’s what catches people’s attention.

Muhammad Ali Sangi & Shayan Fatani, PureVPN

There should not be content duplication on the website. The same products should not be on multiple pages, that is bad SEO.

If it is a new user and has no loyalty towards your brand, then an immediate response with no wait time can give a first positive impression and aid your brand image. Not just that, an agent can also educate the user on different available products, just like upselling, which can increase the order value.

TIP: Consider utilizing AMP for your product pages, this will not only give your users a lightning-quick experience, it’ll give you a boost on mobile rankings as well. Both supporting potential sales

Optimizing your e-commerce store for voice search is an effective strategy for establishing a strong presence within SERPs and improving SEO. As portable devices, such as Google Home and Amazon Echo, are becoming more prominent, search engines are favoring websites that are optimized for voice search. This strategy can be implemented by incorporating schema markup and instituting actions via Google’s Actions Console. By capitalizing on this approach, search engines will recognize your website’s ability to facilitate improved user experiences, which will increase organic search traffic and revenue generation.

One thing eCommerce owners can try is to skip the cart page step in the eCommerce purchasing process, to reduce the abandonment rate..Try adding a floating cart button, a slider that would open up when a user adds a product to their cart.If the floating cart icon can show all of the relevant information such as the product tally total, shipping rates and a button to checkout, there is no need to redirect the user to the cart page before they checkout.Reducing just one step in the eCommerce purchasing process has been known to increase conversions rates by up to 12%.

Connect the product feed on your website with a dropshipping app and open up your products to hundreds of other e-commerce stores this way. At Jowissa we have started to use spocket.io and now get regular additional orders from other merchants directly into our own ecommerce dashboard. For this to work you need to work with a platform like shopify where you have such enabling apps available for use. If you do that is my ONE and only tip.

Advance your keyword research game using answerthepublic.com and Google Trends.The mistake an overwhelming majority of eCommerce stores make is to try and optimise for keywords they think they should be using. And this isn’t talking about finding the right volume and levels of competition (though they remain key indicators of organic success). The problem is when you speak about your products in a way your audience does not. Using answerthepublic.com and Google Trends you can find the searches people are making, in the terms they are using. Tapping into the language of your consumers is key if you want to rank content directed at them. Not only will the correct terminology help you appear when they use those same terms. But by speaking the way they do you’ll increase valuable on-page metrics of success like session time, and reduce bounce rate. The simple truth is that people are drawn to what they know. If your eCommerce site makes them feel at home, you’ll have the foundation for a successful organic campaign.

Brian Robben, Robben Media

Seeing the product in use will drive interest, clearly show the benefit, and increase conversions. In marketing, it’s always better to show rather than tell. This video demonstration, which doesn’t have to be more than 10 seconds, is especially powerful for less mainstream products where the target audience may naturally have questions. One more tip — the video can double down as a social media post or advertisement.

Stacy Caprio, Accelerated Growth Marketing

Organize your current site structure so the internal links, including menu and homepage links, are stronger in the areas you want to give your site a boost in rank-wise. Making sure there are strong internal indicators and links to the pages and categories you want to rank will help give your ecommerce site a big SEO boost once implemented.

My number one tip for e-commerce is to interview your customers regularly! Every quarter, we reach out to a random batch of customers and offer them a gift card in exchange for a 20-minute Zoom call. We have them navigate our site, choose a product, and check out using their gift card. Seeing real customers use your e-commerce store live is invaluable, you’ll be amazed at what you pick up. Plus, our customers love the VIP treatment!

Arin Spanner, Get Virtual

Place product stories in the description
Many business owners choose “safe” descriptions under the assumption that simply telling people what a product is will make them buy it. However, in the consumer’s mind, they aren’t simply buying a product—they’re buying a solution to a need or want. A woman buying a dress wants to know about its fabric quality. But just as important, she wants to know what wearing that dress says about her. If the dress is colorful, perhaps the product description should include a story about a woman unable to express herself because she is surrounded by drab clothing. When she finds this colorful dress, she can finally display her true personality and her problem is solved. These stories should be economical and evocative—they should not exceed a few sentences and be packed with visceral wording. If your product can convince consumers that it solves their problem and understands them, it will fly off the virtual shelf.

The most important tip to increase the sales of an E-Commerce store is branding. If you put in hard work and turn your XYZ E-Commerce store into a brand(which needs time, hard work, patience, resilience), you will be able to increase your E-Commerce sales and that would be long lasting as your dependency on Google algorithmic updates and investment on paid campaigns will be reduced to minimum. That is the best advice I can offer to an E-Commerce store owner.

Use Banner Bear or Moovly to automate videos for each product. Also involve social media managers in responding to chat tool at times when sales is unavailable. This will help them learn customer needs and craft better posts.

One of the easiest ways for an ecommerce website to drive more traffic and sales from organic traffic is to appear for more relevant longtail keywords, and the best way to increase your chances of your site appearing for these keywords is to include them within your meta titles. Often ecommerce websites consist of product pages that don’t make full use of the character limit that Google allows for meta titles – if you aren’t using every character you can within your meta title, think of longtail keywords you can include to increase the number of keywords you rank for.

Kevin Miller, The Word Counter

When it comes to SEO for eCommerce sites, product descriptions are super underrated! Conversion rates will increase if you are able to provide in-depth descriptions, adding in keywords that you want to rank for. Descriptive words are very important. The key is to be as detailed as possible. For example, if you sell clothing, providing model measurements can be very helpful. While it can be challenging to create product descriptions that are short and concise while also providing value and maintaining your brand voice, it is well worth the time and effort. If you have hundreds or thousands of products, you may consider hiring professional copywriters.

Send Abandoned Cart Emails With a Discount
A consumer who put your products in their cart and then abandoned the page was at the very last stage of the sales funnel. You want to do everything you can to capture revenue from users that far along the funnel, because it’s more cost-effective than converting users unaware of your brand.

Depending on your profit margin, you can offer a significant discount to those who abandoned their cart (over 10%), and you’ll see a lot of added sales. Our sales almost doubled when we instituted this strategy.

Amit Raj, TheLinksGuy

Create informative and useful, top of funnel content – and build links to it via personalised and effective outreach. The more informative the content, the better the success you’ll have when doing outreach. And subsequently, the better the quality/strength of the links you’ll be able to build. Take it from me – after building thousands of links over the years, I’ve realised when it comes to building links, it’s less about creating content for SEO value, and more about creating content with human value as well.

Erico Franco, Agencia de Marketing Digital

We manage a e-commerce and we have learned that besides email, sms importance has increased in the last few years. Nowadays is very important to automate and use sms to connect with your customers during the purchase process sending messages like payment confirmation, delivery confirmation etc. Also is important to use sms in fidelization like sending a satisfaction survey after each sale.

RJ Porter, Elite Appliance

We added daily alerts to our Google Ads performance and studied the blogging & content strategies of our top 3 competitors. This led to a list of blog posts to build and strategic resource pages designed to attract links from educational and governmental sites. We have used Rank Math plugin for WordPress to optimize each post to a minimum score of 88.

Yulin Yin, Do Hard Money

Have Chat Feature

Be responsive and have a chat feature on your website, live chat is effective in generating leads and making sales. Because live chat gives visitors an instant way to your support staff and sales team (and vice versa,) your team has many more chances to turn these visitors into paying clients or customers. On our website dohardmoney.com we generated a higher revenue than last year after building a chat feature on our website. With this feature, you can grab all the opportunities to convert the audience into the lead which increases your revenue.

    Hi Shiv,

    I have 3 stores:
    .com (to target the USA),
    .co.uk (to target UK) and another on
    .com.au (to target Australia)

    We have the same content on all the sites only currency/support-staff is different so “Is there any problem or can you please share some tips on how to make sure both of my stores are well optimized without any problem with one another”. Thanks in advance!

      Hi Matt,
      You should use the Hreflang tag in that case. It is an HTML attribute used to specify the language and geographical targeting of a webpage or a domain.

      English speakers in the UK:
      link rel=”alternate” hreflang=”en-gb” href=”https://example.co.uk” /

      English speakers in the US:
      link rel=”alternate” hreflang=”en-us” href=”https://example.com” /

      English speakers in the Australia:
      link rel=”alternate” hreflang=”en-au” href=”https://example.com.au” /

    Hey there,

    Thanks for putting such a detailed and well-researched article. I am planning to build a new website to sell boutiques online, we are getting good sales from offline right now. How long will it take before I can expect to see some sales from a new website if I use these strategies?

      Hi Alan,

      Thanks for the kind words. If you have a good store and you implement these strategies mentioned above. You should be able to start getting sales within a month or two. If you want instant results you can try to run a PPC campaign as well. But my personal recommendation is to use SEO and work on improving the conversion rate of your website before running any paid campaign. Since you have an offline shop, you should also try to get yourself listed on Google My Business as that would help you in getting more footfall on your offline shop as well.
