Shopping SearchSEO & Search-friendly Web Design

Shopping SEO Search Tips

Keyword-optimized product descriptions- Optimize product titles and product descriptions with relevant keywords, including, manufacturer part numbers, for instance.

High quality product images- Include high quality images to make a good impression and to ensure the shoppers are seeing a clear picture of the products

Use Google’s Product Type- Assigning categories based on the unique category taxonomy of Google Product Search’s values will both classify the products in the correct departments and enhance the product rankings.

Feed submission - Submit the product feed often. Google Product Search likes receiving fresh, updated feeds, and it will remove the feed when it is not regularly updated.

Shipping and tax information- Include shipping and tax information in the product feed.

Embed promotions in the product feed- Add free shipping promotions and promote those in the feed. Shoppers on Google Products Search have the ability to show items with only those certain attributes, giving consumers a real competitive advantage

Make sure to complete all required fields. - Google recently made ‘Condition’ a required field that must be populated with ‘New,’ ‘Used’ or ‘Refurbished.’
