Shop Improvement and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a powerful process that can help improve the visibility of your shop and item listings in search engine results for sites like Google, Bing, and Yahoo.

SEO can be complicated. Search engines frequently change the way terms are searched, as well as the criteria for what comes up in a search. There isn’t a way to promise that your shop will appear at the top of Google search results. However, there are some best practices that you can use to help improve your shop’s SEO.

 

Have a great product

Offering something unique, interesting, and desirable is the first step in drawing in shoppers. Before contemplating whether or not to optimise your searches for SEO, take a look at the items in your shop and consider what makes your item or shop different from everyone else’s. If you’d like to improve the look and feel of your shop, learn more on how to do that here.

Select keywords

A critical step in improving your shop’s SEO is to find the best possible words to describe your shop and your items. Think like a shopper: What words would you search when looking for your products or shop? The exercise of selecting keywords is also helpful when you choose tags for your item listings, which help your items get found on Osbisy search.

Get more tips about choosing keywords:

Your Osbisy shop title

Your shop title is a bit of text that appears under your shop name on your shop homepage. It can be up to 55 characters.

Your shop title will also become the “page title” for your shop page. This is the text a person sees in the search engine that links to your shop.

You can edit your shop title by going to Go To Vendor Dashboard and by clicking Settings > Store SEO under Visit Store.

We recommend briefly describing your shop and the items you sell. Some sellers make a tag line or slogan. Also consider including your full name or your business name in your shop title if potential customers are likely to search for you that way.

 

Your shop Description

How you name your shop Meta Description can also help boost your shop’s SEO. Each section has its own landing page with a page title based on the section name.

You can edit your shop Meta Description sections by going to Go to Vendor Dashboard > Settings > Store SEO Scroll down to find biography in the bottom page and Type or Edit,  and once you’re done, click Save Changes.

Like your shop title, Osbisy uses your section names to create the page titles for each of your sections’ landing pages. The page title is the text a person sees in the search engine that links to your shop. Search engines only show about 66 characters for a page title, and Osbisy limits section names to 24 characters. Osbisy will automatically include your shop name in the page title.

Briefly describe the kind of items in each specific section. Using “category style” names for your sections that include your keywords not only helps a shopper navigate within your shop, but also can help shoppers find you in search engines.

Your item listing pages

Two important SEO elements for your listing pages are your item title and description.

You can edit your item title and description for a specific listing by going to Go to Vendor Dashboard > Products and Search for the item you’d like to edit. Click the Edit. The Item will become editable. On the right top of a listing, click Preview Product button to see how it will look as a Osbisy search result.

Below we’ll explain why these elements are important and how you can make the best of them.

Item title

Your item title is used to create the page title for your listing page. Search engines only show about 66 characters for a page title, so Osbisy has automatic rules to determine how much of your item title will be used in the page title.

Clearly describe your item at the beginning of the item title. Use keywords you think a shopper may search. Your title is also a factor in the search engine on Osbisy, so a good title serves double-duty!

 

Item description

The first 160 characters of your item description is used to create the meta description for your listing page. The meta description is the text shown under your page title on a search engine results page.

Your description is important beyond the first 160 characters, too. Search engines look at a page’s full content. Be sure to describe your item well, using your keywords and providing details about the item.

Briefly describe your item in the first sentence of your description. Use keywords that you think shoppers will search to find your items.
