Selling online from Brooklyn means competing with big retailers, so the details of your store matter. Use this ecommerce SEO checklist to make your product pages easier to find on Google and easier to buy from. It works for WooCommerce, Shopify and other platforms, and several steps also help your eBay, Walmart and Amazon listings.
1. Write unique product titles and descriptions
Copying manufacturer text makes your pages look the same as everyone else’s. Write a clear title with the product name and key detail, and a helpful description covering size, material, use and shipping.
2. Use clean, short product URLs
A readable address such as /leather-wallet-brown/ is easier for people and search engines than a string of numbers.
3. Organize products into clear categories
Category pages are often your best chance to rank for broader searches. Give each one a helpful introduction and link to your top products.
4. Add product structured data
Structured data helps Google understand price, availability and reviews, and can make your results richer. Most platforms support it, and we set it up properly.
5. Compress and describe your images
Use sharp but light images, and add alt text that describes each photo. Fast pages sell more.
6. Make the store fast and mobile-friendly
Most shoppers browse on phones. Test your speed with our free audit, which includes Google’s mobile speed test.
7. Show reviews and trust signals
Real reviews, clear returns and shipping information, and secure checkout reduce doubt and lift sales.
8. Handle out-of-stock and discontinued products carefully
Keep the page live with a clear message and suggestions when it is temporary. Redirect to a close alternative when a product is gone for good.
9. Create helpful buying guides and blog posts
Guides that answer buying questions bring in shoppers early and link naturally to products. Our WooCommerce vs Shopify guide is an example.
10. Use marketplaces as another sales channel
Listing on marketplaces can widen your reach while your own store builds your brand. Read which marketplace to sell on and our marketplace selling service.
11. Add your local details if you serve Brooklyn customers
Local pickup, same-day delivery and a Google Business Profile bring in nearby shoppers. See our local SEO service and ecommerce solutions.
