Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about SEO for retail businesses
How long does it take to see results from retail SEO?
While some improvements can be seen within a few weeks, most retail businesses start seeing significant results from SEO efforts within 3-6 months. Local SEO results often appear faster than broader e-commerce optimizations. We provide monthly reporting to track progress and show improvements in rankings, traffic, and conversions.
How do you balance SEO for both our physical stores and online shop?
We develop an integrated strategy that optimizes for both local search (to drive foot traffic to physical locations) and e-commerce search (to increase online sales). This includes optimizing Google Business Profiles for each location, implementing local inventory ads, creating location-specific landing pages, and ensuring your product pages are fully optimized for online sales.
How do you handle SEO for seasonal retail products?
We develop a seasonal SEO calendar that aligns with your retail cycles, planning content and optimization efforts 3-4 months ahead of key shopping periods. This includes creating seasonal landing pages, implementing temporary category pages for special events, and adjusting keyword targeting based on seasonal search trends. We also maintain evergreen product pages that perform year-round.
Can you help with product feed optimization for Google Shopping?
Yes, we provide comprehensive product feed optimization for Google Shopping and other shopping platforms. This includes optimizing product titles, descriptions, and attributes to improve visibility in shopping results. We also implement structured data markup to enhance your product listings with rich snippets, pricing information, availability status, and reviews.
