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Slow site speed, poor structure and outdated designs can all turn potential customers away.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.

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.
