How independent website sellers can optimize their stores: six practical skills and SEO strategies

For independent website sellers, optimizing the store can not only improve the user experience, but also enhance the SEO effect, thereby obtaining more organic traffic. The following will combine techniques from multiple aspects to help sellers better optimize their stores.

1. Highlight key points on the homepage

To improve the quality of your store, you first need to start from the homepage. The homepage should display related products that best match the keywords, and be paired with attractive pictures and text descriptions to highlight the quality of the product. In addition, calls to action that align with current trends (such as environmental protection, body positive image, etc.) can also attract users. The attractiveness of the homepage is a very important step in the optimization process.

2. Product image optimization

Images that are too large may affect the loading speed of the website, so they should be appropriately compressed when uploading and kept below 100K. At the same time, ensure that all images are of the same size (such as 800px × 800px) to prevent customers from browsing inconvenience due to network speed issues. Optimizing image size can help improve consumers’ shopping experience.

3. Clean up unsalable products

For products that are no longer for sale, the web page should be cleaned up in time and the URL should be reset to point to the new product. Avoid blank check-style displays to avoid offending consumers.

4. Reasonable product classification

Product classification should be logical and convenient for consumers to browse. The establishment of each category should be based on the main category ideas.

5. Web page speed optimization

In addition to paying attention to image size, the overall web page speed is also very important. If your page loads too slowly, you may need professional help to optimize it.

6. Update the blog regularly

Continuously updating content helps maintain user stickiness. Sellers can enhance connections with consumers and expand product exposure channels by publishing more posts and interacting with fans.
