Maybe its ‘Sweat t-shirts’ or ‘wedding dresses’ or ‘adventure cameras’. While choosing a keyword always try to find out your sweet spot because it’s not that easy to rank your keywords on top like ‘watch’ because the biggest retailers dominate. On the other hand, a niche key phrase like ‘Black leather watch’ won’t pick up enough searches. Try something in the middle, like ‘leather watch’. 2. Optimize Your Shopify Site Structure The way you represent your content in an organized way on your page will result in a successful SEO. When buyers can easily find their required things, they tend to spend more time on your website & view more pages that will help you rank higher on search engines.

Don’t forget to include a search box on your page. It will help visitors to find what they are looking for, and it is an important part of e-commerce optimization so that you can make more money from the traffic you already have. 3. Improve the User Experience A great user experience will help you to increase your rank higher in search results. With the following points you can provide the best user experience possible. Boost Your Site Speed When your site is easy to navigate & everything can be accessed quickly, visitors will like to spend more time on your site, after all, site speed is all about accessibility. To make your Shopify store faster, you can:      Use optimized images. Use a fast and mobile-friendly theme. Remove unwanted applications. Use fewer sliders. Use a Responsive Design Your Shopify store Setup expert should look great on all the devices such as tablets, desktop, smartphones.

Responsive theme improves user experience and keeps your visitors engaging on-site for a longer time. Having a site that can easily navigate and read will improve your site ranking because Google at a time on page ass a marker of a site value. A better usability site with improve ranking results in increased conversions and visitors like to visit again. 4. Choose a Keyword or Phrase That Actually Sells Now here there is a difference between normal SEO & Shopify SEO: You want searchers that will actually buy something such as relevant searchers as per your product. Suppose you are selling handmade designer bags on Shopify and people searching for ‘handmade bags’ might be looking for information on making a bag but people are not your relevant customers because you want relevant customers that actually buy your products. You want a customer who wants to buy handmade bags so try to change your keywords or phrases to include active words such as ‘buy’, ‘best’ ‘cheap’. 5. Place Those Keywords in All the Right Places Always place your keywords on where Google will find them easily. Here, Shopify has five crucial places to put your keywords: You’re Page Title A title is the initial phrase that will appear on Google’s results page so try to keep it eye-catching and relevant as per your target audiences. Meta Description Meta description is the short piece of words that shows up after the title of your page. You can place your targeted keywords here but try to make it intriguing & descriptive so that you can easily convince your customers to click. Make sure every page of your site has a different Meta description. Image Description & Alt Tags Google is smarter but not enough to understand a picture of like a blue shirt. Here you have to tell Google it is a Blue shirt and for this, you have to change the name of the image to ‘blue shirt>shop name’ before uploading. For an image you can add ‘alt-text’ that shows if a browser cannot load the image. That’s how you can easily make it descriptive including your targeted keywords so that Google can find it, read it, & rank it in search result.

  3. Headers and Titles (H1-H6 tags) Headers are the first place Google looks to see what your site content is all about? So make sure your all product pages have descriptive headers with your targeted keywords. Product Descriptions and Copy It’s important to include your targeted keywords in the product description so that Google can easily find your page. Always try to keep your product description unique & exciting. Don’t just copy the manufacturer description because there are already many similar copies present on the internet and Google doesn’t not like a duplicate copy. With your own tone of voice and descriptive details you can convince customers to make a purchase. 6. Crawling and indexing Crawling & indexing is one of the important components of e-commerce SEO and here we will discuss about few that apply to Shopify. Robots.txt file You should be aware that in a Shopify store, you cannot adjust the robots.txt file and this is stated in their official help documentation. Here you can add the ‘noindex’ to pages through the theme.liquid, but it is not helpful if you want to prevent Google from crawling your content altogether. There are few sections of the site such as Checkout, Shopping Cart, Admin area, internal search, orders, Policies page that Shopify will disallow for crawling. Shopify provides you some default disallow commands for your site is good but robots.txt is probably the simple way to control Google’s crawl of your site It Is very easy to update & allow for a lot of flexibility. You might need to try another method of adjusting Google’s crawl through canonical tags or nofollow. Adding the “noindex” tag As we have learn above that instead of robots.txt, Shopify does allow you to add the ‘noindex’ tag. Here you can exclude a specific page from the index by adding the bellow given code to your theme.liquid file {% if template contains 'search' %} <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> {% endif %} In case, you want to exclude an entire template then use the below code: {% if handle contains 'page-handle-you-want-to-exclude' %} <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> {% endif %} Redirects It is great that Shopify allows you to implement redirects out of the box. You can use redirects for consolidating the old or expired pages, all you have to do is go to Online Store > Navigation > URL Redirects. Log files Shopify does not provide you the log file information the same as robots.txt and this has been confirmed by Shopify support. 7. Optimize Your Shopify Products Pages For a great Shopify product page, you should have a list of keywords & a logical site structure for optimizing your store page. Initiate with your top pages that are the most profitable & have the best conversions such as your homepage, top- selling product pages, main product collections, and so on. In case you are opening a brand new store, you should still optimize your homepage.

How to Optimize Title Tags for Categories You should optimize your title tags effectively on your pages and use your keywords in a consistent way as given below: Keyword 1 – Shop for Keyword 2 – Store Name Blue Jacket – Shop for Blue Jacket Online – The Store 9. How to Optimize Title and Meta Description for Products You need to write some titles and descriptions for your products and categories. Here you should not do the keyword stuffing instead try to fit the keyword naturally. The alt text for the image can also be optimized for SEO but this also needs to fit naturally so that it will be easy and fast for shoppers to find what they’re looking for and easy for search engines to crawl the site. 10. Rank Higher With Content Marketing As we all know that content is the king and reason that people come to your site. A good original content adds more value to your overall user experience. Always provide the real answers instead of only providing product information by making a list of all queries your customers ask for and anything you think your customers may want an answer to. Through content your customers get to know about your brand in a way that doesn’t involve selling. Content is the easiest way to rank for more keywords and generate more backlinks. 11. Create Backlinks To Your Shopify Store For ranking your store on top, Google looks at which other websites are linking to you.
