SEO Explained from an Expert E-Commerce Company

By Jason Hawkins on August 13, 2016

A business that ranks on the first page of search engines can expect an increase in their bottom line. While the method to reach that pinnacle may appear complicated, a company that is an expert in e-commerce search engine optimization (SEO) can handle the grunt work and accomplish that aim.

Every business seeks a method to increase their visibility in an ethical manner. With increased visibility comes the opportunity for increased sales and customer good will. This translates to a better bottom line in the long-term.

Most people who hire companies for goods or services, begin their search on search engines. The potential customer will access a search engine, such as Google, and then type in a specific two to five letter words or phrases.

For instance, consider fictional people, Bob and his wife Debbie. Bob and Debbie live in West Palm Beach, Florida, and Bob wants to celebrate his wife’s birthday on Friday at a local Italian restaurant — as that is his wife’s favorite cuisine.

Google Search Results, Italian WPBBob begins his search by accessing the search engine Google, where in the search bar he writes, “Italian West Palm Beach.” Bob is greeted by options on the first page, such as “ZUCCARELLI’S ITALIAN KITCHEN,” which he selects with his cursor; and later, accesses with his wife through their front door.

But how did Zuccarelli’s Italian Kitchen earn its coveted spot on Google’s first page for that specific phrase?

The Basics of SEO

To begin, SEO refers to various techniques that are used to raise a website’s search engine results. The term ranking relates to the position of a website on search results.

It is important to understand how the search engine web crawlers search and discover relevant articles because this affects the bottom line for businesses.

Whenever a user types information into a search engine, such as Bob did, the search engine has web crawlers that analyze millions of websites per second by scanning specific keywords that appear frequently in a website, whether it be in a headline, boldface type, or a link.

Setting up a business on the web is equivalent of a building being built. A group of interested people preform research on the appearance of the building, as well as decide what services the company offers.

The building is only as strong as its foundation. A weak foundation can translate into a cheap faulty building, with the potential to collapse when challenged with a natural disaster. However, a building with a strong base can take up challenges when presented, and over time, provides the springboard for the business to expand.

A website that is built should be designed, coded, and written in a manner that is optimized for SEO performance. Images, like windows on a building, present a look into the company situated on the website. Therefore, they need to be set up well, with keyword-rich alt text; in addition to having permission to use the image.

According to The Yahoo! Style Guide: The Ultimate Sourcebook for Writing, Editing, and Creating Content for the Digital World, the best technique to have an advantage in SEO ranking is the following:

  1. “Write information-rich copy that people will want to read and link to; and,
  2. To figure out which words people are likely to use in searches, and then embed those keywords throughout your copy.”

The Style Guide continues, “Good SEO copywriting makes your page more readable for both search engines and humans.” These principles are important to keep in mind as the website is built and used.
