It\u2019s especially difficult when you have a client that is trying to rank for some super competitive phrases in a competitive industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">His Shopify site looked good &#8211; so what was the problem?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>He had a beautifully designed website, featured in the media logos and amazing high-quality product photos.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had seemingly been doing everything right. When his search engine rankings began to get stagnant, he thought about more links.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, many business owners think about getting more links when their rankings start to get stale. But focusing on links for the sake of boosting your referring domains or domain authority can sometimes do more harm than good. It\u2019s so important to focus on how your website can better match searcher intent.&nbsp; So you have to think about the types of pages that are ranking for a specific search.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to make sure that you\u2019re optimizing the right pages on your site for the right terms.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I once had a client that wanted to have their product page rank #1 for the keyword phrase \u201cbest protein shakes.\u201d All of the results for this keyword phrase were blog posts &#8211; this wasn\u2019t the right term for a product page.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, when looking at Adam\u2019s site, I noticed that the top ranking pages for the term \u201cHollywood Mirrors\u201d were typically category pages. Adam wanted his homepage to rank for that term &#8211; but how was he going to do it? He\u2019d spent time and money trying to figure this out.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I analyzed the SERP related to this term, I did notice that there was one other homepage in the results. So I said, \u201cLet\u2019s go for it.\u201d He wanted to do it, and there was a chance for us to rank because other home pages were also ranking.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After my quick call with Adam, we were able to uncover some SEO techniques he could use to improve the ranking of his Shopify site, and it worked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"446\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Overview-www.hollywoodmirrors.co_.uk_-on-Ahrefs-1024x446.png\" alt=\"Overview Www.hollywoodmirrors.co .uk On Ahrefs\" class=\"wp-image-11016967\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Overview-www.hollywoodmirrors.co_.uk_-on-Ahrefs-1024x446.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Overview-www.hollywoodmirrors.co_.uk_-on-Ahrefs-720x313.png 720w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Overview-www.hollywoodmirrors.co_.uk_-on-Ahrefs-768x334.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Overview-www.hollywoodmirrors.co_.uk_-on-Ahrefs.png 1151w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our solution didn\u2019t include any link building, black hat tactics, or magic ponies.

Google&#8217;s goal is to find and rank content that users want to consume. How users interact and engage with the page content before returning to SERP fuels how search engines rank content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-Google-Works-For-Ecommerce-1024x683.png\" alt=\"How Google Works For Ecommerce\" class=\"wp-image-11016972\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-Google-Works-For-Ecommerce-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-Google-Works-For-Ecommerce-565x377.png 565w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-Google-Works-For-Ecommerce-943x629.png 943w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-Google-Works-For-Ecommerce-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-Google-Works-For-Ecommerce-720x480.png 720w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-Google-Works-For-Ecommerce.png 1201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are organizing your keywords, products and categories for your Shopify site, think about how this information can be organized and presented to users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Website architecture is a fancy way of saying, \u201cHow is your site content organized?\u201d The site structure not only ensures that users have an intuitive experience on your online store, but it also helps search engines make sense of your site, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There a few different page types on your Shopify store, but they can be broken down into five main categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Homepage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Informational pages (About, Contact, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Category\/Collection pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blog posts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So you want to think about it in terms of clicks. Ideally, a user on your Shopify site should be able to find what they\u2019re looking for in three clicks or less. This isn\u2019t always possible &#8211; especially if you have a large number of products and sub-categories &#8211; but it\u2019s something to aim for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as site structure goes, though, you do sometimes have to strike a balance between what works for SEO and what works for the user experience. For SEO, you want to try to maintain that three-click rule. Usability may dictate needing sub-categorization a bit deeper than that &#8211; so that users can find what they\u2019re looking for more easily based on category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/ecommerce-platforms\/#SEO\" data-lasso-id=\"2812\">I don\u2019t recommend Shopify for SEO-focused sites<\/a>. Why is that? I took a look at some of the most popular ecommerce platforms and tested some of the main SEO factors to see which ones came out on top.

When it comes to Shopify, you won\u2019t have to worry about things like site speed &#8211; as you would with a platform like WooCommerce.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some SEO tips and best practices to get your Shopify stores in front of more customers looking for your products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keyword research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any good SEO strategy lives and dies by keyword research and the implementation of those keywords. How do you know what keywords to use and what will be the most beneficial for you to rank highly for? How do you incorporate those keyword phrases into your site content effectively? The first step is keyword research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The right keyword strategy starts with knowing what user intent you want to capture. There are several things you can do to determine the value of your SEO keyword phrases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If you have keyword data from Google Ads, you can track those phrases and optimize your site for the ones that generate the most revenue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can also use that Google Ads keyword data to optimize for keywords with higher conversion rates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the Google Search Console to review keywords that are currently bringing clicks or impressions to the site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a look at your competitors. Use SEO tools to see what they\u2019re ranking for that you might not be.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve completed keyword research, you have to figure out how to use those phrases throughout your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meta titles, descriptions, and URLs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Page titles and meta descriptions are what users see in the organic portion of the search engine results page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords play a big role here since you want to take the targeted keywords for each page and incorporate them into these three areas. You also want some keywords in the page URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>In a meta title, include the keyword at the front of the sentence. The gurus say limit the characters to about 50-60 &#8211; but I\u2019ve ranked 100+ character title tags #1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The description is generally 150-160 characters. It should include the keyword at the front of the sentence, with a longer-tail keyword and a product feature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For the URL structure, simply use the keyword &#8211; since shorter URLs perform better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Pro Tip: Use persuasive copy to help your meta description get more clicks from the SERP. Reuse the description at the intro of the page.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When writing a page title or description, you have to think about who you are writing for. I&#8217;d rather get 10 clicks from my target customer than 100 clicks from broke folks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re putting the meta title and meta descriptions together for the pages on your site, you need to remember that these are your SERPs. So you need to optimize them the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Represent your brand. What\u2019s unique about it?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include target keyword, LSI, and NLP terms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Write for a click! This should be something someone wants to click on<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid bargain shoppers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product descriptions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With an online store, you have a variety of individual products that need to be indexed by search engines. With that in mind, there should be unique content on each product page. This can be a time-consuming task (since content ideas aren\u2019t always easy to come by!), but it\u2019s one of the on-page best practices that you should implement to give your products the best chance of ranking in the SERPs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since this can be a large undertaking depending upon the amount of products that you have in your store, you can always implement a targeted approach to determine which products you should optimize first. Take a look at your products and see which ones are selling the most. That can help you prioritize which products need content right now. Then you can work on getting unique product descriptions on the rest of your product pages as time allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your product images are optimized for search. Add relevant target keywords to your image alt text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Shopify\u2019s Blog<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the increasing number of online stores taking up search engine real estate these days, many store owners are looking for SEO tips to help them stand out in the crowd. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/shopify-for-blogging\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11027412\" data-lasso-id=\"2814\">Making use of the blog function on your Shopify store<\/a> allows you to have a place where you can create informational content for your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This informational content can not only set you up as a thought leader in your industry but also give your business a personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s great &#8211; but what does that have to do with SEO?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s got more to do with SEO than you might initially think. Google likes to give people information when they\u2019re searching for information &#8211; and they will sometimes prefer to rank informational content over more directly transactional or \u201csales\u201d-related content. The blog is a natural place for you to show Google &#8211; and your customers &#8211; that you know what you\u2019re talking about. Believe it or not, a well-done blog can be one of your more lucrative sales channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A blog is also a natural place to include those all-important keyword phrases, as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re getting ready to set up your Shopify blog, you should consider your entire content marketing strategy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>What are your highest priority keywords? These should be the ones you focus on in your blog posts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What do the search results look like for the keyword phrases you want to target? Are they informational, transactional, or both?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What kind of content can you create to fulfill the intent of the users searching for your desired keyword phrases?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This blogging strategy can be especially helpful if you want to rank for some difficult keyword phrases. It can be a real uphill battle to get your online store to rank for highly competitive terms &#8211; especially if you\u2019re only using them on the specific product pages. But by creating informational pages in the blog that target those terms, you can see an increase in organic traffic and ranking for those important phrases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The words you use are important, but the way your site is set up plays a role in your ranking success, as well &#8211; which is important in getting those sought-after conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schema<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I mentioned earlier how I\u2019ve helped online stores outrank Amazon in some instances. We all know that Amazon is huge, so how is that even possible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to know how to use all of the tools in your toolbox. Rich snippets give online shoppers the ability to see products relevant to their queries, get questions answered, compare prices, and read customer reviews all in one place. If you\u2019re not using rich snippets for your Shopify site, you should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rich snippets are bits of code that make it simple for search engines to process and organize information. And they can<a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/seo-techniques\" data-lasso-id=\"2815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> boost your SEO<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These little bits of code are effective for online product links largely because humans are visual creatures. We like to be able to see what we\u2019re buying before we buy it. When shoppers can see, research, and compare items before they buy, they\u2019re much more likely to buy it from you<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopify SEO Apps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are apps and plugins you can put on your Shopify site to get you started with SEO. Shopify does have a solid supplemental range of SEO tools that can help cover the basic SEO functionality, processes, and tasks such as\u2026<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Editing titles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Editing descriptions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keywords fields<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Title templating<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optimizing filenames<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Index\/No Index<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advanced meta settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product \u201cunavailable after\u201d meta &amp; redirect on \u201cout of stock\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>XML sitemap management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>404 error logging, management, export\/import, repairs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>URL redirects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>JSON-LD data support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using Shopify, SEO apps can be a good place to start. Since the SEO performance of Shopify sites lags behind some other platforms, you need to pay attention and make sure you\u2019re doing all you can to optimize.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These Shopify apps can help you do a variety of simple SEO tasks that can help boost the SEO of your Shopify site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.shopify.com\/seo-meta-manager\" data-lasso-id=\"2816\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEO Manager<\/a>: This is a fairly robust app that can help with meta content, keyword suggestions, JSON-LD structured data, broken link management, alt text, and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/stamped.io\/\" data-lasso-id=\"2817\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stamped.io<\/a>: This app can help with social media sharing, marketing, and product reviews.

You just put your keywords in the important places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But where are those important places, exactly? And what keywords are you talking about?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone talks about the title tag, H1, headings, and primary keywords &#8211; but you need to focus on more than that. There are other signal areas to put important terms, and you also need to look at secondary keywords and LSI\/NLP terms, as well.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Where-To-Put-Keywords.png\" alt=\"Where To Put Keywords\" class=\"wp-image-11016978\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Where-To-Put-Keywords.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Where-To-Put-Keywords-670x377.png 670w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Where-To-Put-Keywords-720x405.png 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>While your titles and H1s may be in the most important group, there are many other areas on the site to consider. You have to think about the types of keywords and terms you\u2019re putting in secondary areas &#8211; like those in groups B, C, and D. Some may be more important than others, but they\u2019re all important.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s all about visualizing the signal areas on your site.

Why is that, exactly? You have to think of Google like a robot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Category-Page-SEO-1024x769.png\" alt=\"Category Page Seo\" class=\"wp-image-11016973\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Category-Page-SEO-1024x769.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Category-Page-SEO-502x377.png 502w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Category-Page-SEO-838x629.png 838w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Category-Page-SEO-768x577.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Category-Page-SEO-720x541.png 720w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Category-Page-SEO.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes sense for a robot? When Google looks at a product intent search, it will compare how many products a page links to. With that in mind, it stands to reason that the number of links and the relevant keywords included in those links act as a strong signal to Google when it comes to determining which page will best satisfy user intent.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other on-page SEO tools you can use to help you navigate this process.<a href=\"https:\/\/seotoollab.com\/\" data-lasso-id=\"2828\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Cora SEO<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/surferseo.com\/?_ga=2.71021712.1235147197.1587424550-1577857524.1576245061\" data-lasso-id=\"2829\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Surfer SEO<\/a>, and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.link-assistant.com\/website-auditor\/\" data-lasso-id=\"2830\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Website Auditor<\/a> are all solid options to help with HTML optimization. <a href=\"https:\/\/diggitymarketing.com\/surfer-seo-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Matt Diggity has a great guide on using Surfer SEO (opens in a new tab)\" data-lasso-id=\"2831\">Matt Diggity has a great guide on using Surfer SEO<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Optimizing the content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to optimizing the content on the pages of your<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/learn\/ecommerce-marketing\/\" data-lasso-id=\"2832\"> online store<\/a>, you can\u2019t just cram keywords in. Generally speaking, Google expects to see certain words on the page for a given search.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>User experience still comes into play when considering the content and keyword density on the pages of your site. Google tends to heavily weight user experience metrics, so you want to make sure that the content on each of your pages answers the questions that searchers are asking. This way, they\u2019re more likely to stay on the page, engage with the content, and make a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LSI keywords and what they do<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The words you use around your primary and secondary keyword phrases actually help search engines know what the page is about. LSI stands for Latent Semantic Indexing &#8211; and it\u2019s not as complicated as it sounds. LSI keywords are simply words or phrases that are related to one another semantically. They\u2019re just keywords that are commonly found together.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These terms help Google put the content of your page into context so that it knows exactly what you\u2019re talking about. Leveraging LSI keywords to your advantage can help improve your site\u2019s ranking significantly.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are tools that you can use to help figure out exactly how to use your keyword terms in the content on your site. I use Surfer SEO for this part of the process. I\u2019m able to rank a page higher by including some of the right terms in the right places in the right context. With difficult or competitive keywords, you really have to pay attention to context &#8211; because, let\u2019s face it, SEO ain\u2019t easy.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can\u2019t treat SEO and design separately<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO is really all about<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/ecommerce-user-experience\/\" data-lasso-id=\"2833\"> user experience<\/a>. Search engines look at a site and make sure that they\u2019re sending users to pages that are relevant to their queries. But you also have to consider design. Your site can look great, but that doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s going to rank.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was talking with Adam about his Hollywood Mirrors Shopify site, I noticed that he had some important terms in span tags and in images.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Darren-DeMatas-Personal-Meeting-Room-Zoom-1024x418.jpg\" alt=\"Darren Dematas&#039; Personal Meeting Room Zoom\" class=\"wp-image-11016979\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Darren-DeMatas-Personal-Meeting-Room-Zoom-1024x418.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Darren-DeMatas-Personal-Meeting-Room-Zoom-720x294.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Darren-DeMatas-Personal-Meeting-Room-Zoom-1200x490.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Darren-DeMatas-Personal-Meeting-Room-Zoom-768x314.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Darren-DeMatas-Personal-Meeting-Room-Zoom.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a really pretty site, isn\u2019t it?
