E-COMMERCE SEO CHECKLIST
Purpose: This e-commerce SEO checklist is designed to tackle simpler tasks (metadata updates, site structure tweaks) before advanced strategies (schema markup, link building).
Task | Details | Checklist (Yes/No) |
---|---|---|
1. Keyword Research & Strategy — Identify High-Intent Keywords | - Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, or SEMrush to find keywords with strong buying intent (e.g., “buy,” “shop,” “discount”). - Target both broad and long-tail keywords to capture different buyer journey stages. | |
- Look at top-ranking pages for your target keywords. - Study their title tags, meta descriptions, and content length. - Identify opportunities to improve or differentiate. | ||
- Assign primary and secondary keywords to product pages, categories, and blog posts. - Avoid keyword overlap to prevent internal competition for the same term. | ||
2. Site Structure & Navigation — Organize Categories & Subcategories | - Keep a logical hierarchy (Home → Category → Subcategory → Product). - Limit clicks to reach product pages (ideally three or fewer). | |
- Avoid long strings of numbers or irrelevant text. - Implement descriptive words that reflect the product or category (e.g., /mens/shoes/running-shoes) | ||
- Help users understand where they are on the site. - Search engines use breadcrumbs to interpret site structure; can enhance your SERP listings. | ||
3. On-Page Optimization — Write Compelling Title Tags | - Place primary keywords near the front. - Keep titles under ~60 characters to avoid truncation in SERPs. | |
- Summarize page content using target keywords naturally. - Aim for ~155–160 characters and consider adding a call to action (CTA). | ||
- Structure content with H1, H2, H3, etc. - Ensure the main H1 contains the page’s core keyword. | ||
- Compress images to speed up loading. - Use descriptive file names (e.g., red-running-shoes.jpg) and relevant ALT text for accessibility and SEO. | ||
4. Technical SEO Essentials — Ensure Mobile-Friendliness | - Use responsive design to adapt to various screen sizes. - Check mobile usability through Google Search Console. | |
- Minimize HTTP requests, enable browser caching, and compress files. - Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to identify specific performance issues. | ||
- Google prefers secure sites, and users trust encrypted transactions. | ||
- Include all product pages, categories, and blog posts. - Submit to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools for faster indexing. | ||
- Prevent duplicate content by pointing search engines to the “primary” version of each page. - Helps avoid internal or external duplication issues. | ||
- Add structured data (e.g., Product, Review, Price) to enhance search listings. - Encourages rich snippets in SERPs. | ||
5. Product Page Optimization — Unique Product Descriptions | - Write original copy instead of using manufacturer defaults. - Incorporate primary keywords naturally while highlighting features and benefits. | |
- Offer multiple views or 360° images for a detailed look. - Include short demo videos to boost engagement and clarity. | ||
- Display aggregated ratings using structured data (star ratings in SERPs). - Encourage detailed reviews for credibility and keyword variety. | ||
6. Content Marketing & Blogging — Create Blog Posts on Relevant Topics | - Address common customer questions (“How to choose the right running shoes”), provide style tips, or product comparisons. - Link internally to relevant product/category pages. | |
- Use infographics, how-to videos, or interactive content to stand out. - Repurpose blog posts into social media or email newsletters for added reach. |
