Powerful Ecommerce SEO Tools

Ranking well on a search engine like Google isn’t easy.

The longer your website fails to rank, the more revenue and potential customers you’re missing out on. And it’s gotten more complicated now that the majority of people are searching on mobile over desktop.

Even the best ecommerce sites need to be monitored to keep them performing at their best, and you’ll need insights on what’s working and what isn’t.

With the right SEO tool, you can spend less time uncovering data and more time actually fixing your site.

What to Know Before Investing in an SEO Tool

Before you start researching SEO tools for your site, you should figure out exactly what you need.

Some SEO software can provide you with massive quantities of data about your site, and others simply function as keyword research tools.

Also, keep in mind SEO for an ecommerce store is going to be different than it is for other types of businesses.

Tips and Tricks for Excelling at SEO

There are many excellent blogs and sites out there detailing various strategies for SEO (we mentioned MOZ, but every single one of those tools has an accompanying blog).

With all of that information swirling around on the web it can be difficult to make sense of it all, so below find my short list of tips and tricks to look out for as you continue your SEO journey.

  1. Be thorough about your keyword research. The SEO tools listed above can be a great help in determining which keywords you should be using, and which ones are being used by your competitors.  This information can be really helpful when it comes to improving your rank on Google Searches.
  2. Think outside the box.  Whether it’s your choice of keywords, web design, or SEO planning it’s important to make sure that you are not just copying what your competitors do. SEO tools are very helpful in determining what is unique about your business and that should be considered as you make decisions regarding SEO.
  3. Find content gaps and fill them. Again, having an SEO tool can really help determine where gaps are in your SEO, web design, and keywords, but it can also tell you what topics are trending. By creating content surrounding this trend you can add valuable content to your site that hopefully will increase your ranking.
  4. Check in often to monitor your site’s progress. By making needed changes faster you can increase performance, make progress on optimization faster, and increase your rank in Google.

It is impossible to fit everything you need to know about SEO and SEO tools into one article, but hopefully, this gave you some great ideas on how to get started.
