Ecommerce is an Entirely Different Beast
Many agencies will treat an SEO strategy for an ecommerce company like any other. This is a mistake. Ecommerce SEO is an entirely different beast. A beast that demands a strong grasp of ecommerce search behaviour, precision measurement and specialised SEO techniques to tame. Understanding your customers’ buying process and being able to target them at multiple stages in this cycle is imperative, and is something a reputable ecommerce SEO company would never overlook.
How are Your Customers Searching?
You’re trying to reach a searching customer, but where are they? What are they looking for? Perhaps they know exactly what they want and are looking the best price online. Or, they might need your product without even knowing it exists. These need vastly different SEO strategies. Key stages to consider in ecommerce SEO include:
1. Pre-awareness
The web user is curious. They have a need but aren’t quite sure how to fill it. The user will likely be asking Google questions at this stage.
Example online search: ‘what is 4K?’
2. Awareness
The user has recognised that they want something and roughly what it is. They will want validate their feelings and find out more about the product/service.
Example online search: ‘is it worth getting a 4K TV?’
3. Interest
This is the stage when a web user looks at many options to filter down their search – educating themselves on the subject matter.
Example: ‘best 4K TVs’
4. Consideration
Now that a user is more educated on the matter, they look to narrow down their options further – perhaps looking at reviews and opinions to make a final decision.
Example: ‘Brand X vs Brand Y 4K TV’
5. Intent to purchase
The user knows exactly what they are looking for and are willing to buy it. Key factors in this stage are ease of purchase, trust and price.
Example: ‘buy Brand X 4K TV’
6. After Purchase
Although there isn’t a heavy search element at this stage, it is essential that the user has had a good experience to increase the likelihood or repeat purchase and of recommending your brand.
58% of users are more likely to purchase a product when a website recommends options for them based on their past
