Poor site performance

Slow site speed, poor structure and outdated designs can all turn potential customers away. Poor site performance could be preventing those all-important sales, which is something every business wants to avoid. 

Both customers and search engines like to see a logically structured website, which is easy to navigate. We’ll make sure you have exactly that, boosting your popularity with Google and customers alike.

At Distinctly, we have experts in all areas of SEO. Our technical SEO team can explore any weaknesses in your site performance and suggest solutions – in plain English.

Is your eCommerce site letting mobile visitors down? Open Tabbed Content

Mobile visitors

With so many customers now shopping from their mobiles, convenience is key. So much so that over half of mobile users will abandon a website if it doesn’t load in seconds. So, for ecommerce businesses, a speedy mobile site is essential.

Our technical SEO team can ensure that your ecommerce mobile site is up to speed. Whilst our copy team and conversion rate specialists take the time to optimise your user experience, making it easy for users to make a purchase. Mobile will always be a key component of any ecommerce strategy.

The checkout process

There’s nothing worse than customers falling at the final hurdle due to a poor checkout process. Your website works hard to rank, attract customers and lead them to the checkout. Don’t let it stop working during the final moments!

Whether you create a bad customer experience by forcing users to create an account before making a purchase or you don’t accommodate different payment methods – there are plenty of things that can drive customers to abandon their baskets.

It’s so frustrating for businesses when customers get to the checkout and don’t actually buy. It frustrates us too, so we optimise your checkout process to stop conversions falling down at this last stage.

Search intent

Each audience will have their own distinct sensibilities, habits and online behaviours. We spend time getting into their headspace, so we can understand how they search and what drives them to buy certain products.

Keywords also play a huge role in this popularity contest, so ongoing optimisation checks to improve keyword targeting and intent matching come as standard.

Our copywriters can refresh your product descriptions to integrate keywords that customers are searching for whilst communicating your brand message effectively. 

By fully understanding your customer’s search intent, we can build brand loyalty and help your product pages rank for those all-important keywords.

Poor site architecture

We have extensive experience with various CMS platforms – from WordPress and Shopify to Magento and Drupal, our SEO experts use a variety of content management systems on a daily basis.

Both customers and search engines like to see a logically structured website, which is easy to navigate. We’ll make sure you have exactly that, boosting your popularity with Google and customers alike. So, if you need to switch to a more ecommerce-focused CMS, we can make this happen.

Our eCommerce SEO Services

Our eCommerce SEO specialists focus on overcoming barriers to your online store’s visibility through utilising a range of analytical data on metrics such as user exit points, cart abandonment and many more. Thus, we can implement strategies to boost performance and drive tangible results and ROI.

Keyword research 

Our strategic approach towards keyword research involves a focus on targeting keywords across the funnel – particularly any commercial-intent keyword opportunities. We focus on the terms you want to rank for, leading to higher visibility, increased targeted organic traffic, and ultimately driving more revenue for your e-commerce business.

Structured data analysis

Search engines need clear and organised information about your products and services in order to rank within the product grids and improve your listings. Structured data analysis will help to achieve this, implementing subtle iterations across your site, leading to increased visibility.

Optimise key landing pages

Optimising key landing pages is crucial for improving SEO and driving more traffic to your e-commerce site. Through conducting heatmap analysis, we can identify how users interact with the page, and improve the positioning of your CTAs to increase visibility and attract more potential customers.

Internal linking strategy

An effective internal linking strategy can not only help improve site navigation for users, enhancing user experience, but also transfers internal link authority to your deeper converting pages. This allows your product pages to be easily found by both users and search engines, increasing visibility, traffic and revenue.

CRO audit

Providing a seamless user experience is paramount for a business looking to increase revenue, by driving purchases, increasing average order value and reducing bounce rates. CRO audits will identify those pain points and provide ways to continuously upsell, increasing conversions across the site.
