similar click shift happens in Desktop too -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Note how many
retailers & publications that dropped across verticals are non-specialized Data from Similarweb Backpack Sneakers Laptop -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Eg. for top
10K Backpack queries, YT is first, Reddit, North Face up, & Amazon, NYTimes down Data from Similarweb -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce If we zoom
in on YouTube clicks, they’re going to URLs ranked in Video SERP Features Data from Similarweb -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Data from Similarweb
For top sneakers queries: YouTube is first, Axios, Guardian down, Adidas and Reddit up -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Data from Similarweb
But if we view clicks per URLs, it’s not YT but retailers & brands that get most clicks -

For top laptop queries: YT first, Amazon, Walmart down; while YouTube & Reddit up -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Data from Similarweb

how organic search traffic behavior is also shifting with SERPs Zero clicks searches have mostly slightly increased across top Product queries YOY Social and UGC, along with brands are getting more clicks; and non- specialized publications and retailers are getting fewer clicks from top Product queries A high share of clicks are going to a higher number of URLs showcasing SERP features: videos, products, images, news, etc. A higher number of PDPs are getting clicks from top product queries than before thanks to Product related SERP features -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce It’s definitely getting
harder to achieve ecommerce SEO goals, it’s not only you! https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ What's the level of difficulty in achieving the expected Ecommerce SEO goals compared to a couple of years ago? -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce And the main
reason is exactly this: SERP Evolution and Google Changes https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ Why do you think achieving your Ecommerce SEO goals is as difficult? -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Despite this, SEO
remains a highly impactful channel vs others to achieve ecommerce goals https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ How impactful have your Ecommerce SEO efforts been to achieve the Ecommerce goals vs other marketing channels? “55% of SEOs have achieved high or extremely high impact. If this was true for any other marketing channel, executives would throw truckloads of money at it!” Malte Landwehr VP of SEO Idealo -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce What should ecommerce
SEOs do to keep winning despite these shifts in SERP Features & traffic behavior? #ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Prioritize your PDPs
optimization efforts, making the most out of SERP Features for visibility and AI features to facilitate execution at scale Grow your brand authority with informational and commercial text, video and image content to support your customers buying journey and become an specialized reference in your sector Google can’t overlook in SERPs 1. 2. 3. Forget about positions, and track your SERP visibility and click behavior monitoring features, pixels, clicks changes per device/ country market to fuel an ongoing testing culture to quickly identify behavior shifts and leverage opportunities Here are 3 key steps for ecommerce organic search growth in 2025 -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce 1. It’s time
to double down your PDPs optimization efforts to maximize your SERPs visibility and be ready for the next AI shopping features (without neglecting your PLPs) -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce 2. Grow your
brand authority with specialized informational and commercial multi- format content to become more popular & competitive -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce 3. Track pixel
visibility, features and clicks behavior to fuel an “ongoing testing” approach to quickly identify & assess SERP opportunities and keep winning -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Start with the
PDPs indexability which is usually a challenge! Their content needs to be as unique, descriptive engaging and well linked as possible -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Your goal is
to make your PDP information and experience more fulfilling to compete with best performing ones Description Comparison Similar Products Reviews Photos Models Videos Q&As Complete the look Specifications -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Have resource issues
to implement? You’re not alone. Most in ecom SEO have them too! https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ The main reason ecommerce SEO projects haven't achieved the expected goals in the last year -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Communication & alignment
is key for SEO integration within workflows & getting buy-in https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ “Whilst it doesn’t surprise me at all that the main blockers to project success are implementation issues and lack of resources, this highlights a distinct need for SEOs to expand their skillsets into ‘soft skills.’ These two blockers are essentially ‘people and communication’ problems; getting things done and getting budgets and / or resources signed off.” James Brockbank Managing Director Digitaloft -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Wordlift, AirOps You
can also use AI platforms like AirOps to accelerate the process with workflows that automate tagging and help to enrich your PDPs at scale using your own store data -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Wordlift, AirOps Or
Wordlift that can generate a full product knowledge graph with descriptions & FAQs Descriptions FAQs -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Wordlift, AirOps Besides
content you can also use these tools to automate internal links to related products with rules you set Internal Links -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ Do you
think it’s too risky? Most of your ecom competitors are already leveraging AI https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ Have you incorporated the use of any AI features/ functionalities in your Ecommerce SEO Optimization Tasks? -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ From content
creation & optimization, kw research to repetitive SEO tasks automation https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ How have you incorporated AI features/functionalities in your Ecommerce SEO tasks? -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ It’s time
to make the most out of the new wave of AI features to accelerate execution https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ “It should not be a surprise by now to see that most people use AI for content creation, writing regex, schema, and even bits of code to power automations. It’s become a go-to for speeding up routine tasks. The most impressive use for large ecommerce websites has to be powering internal linking at scale, though. I remember having to deal with endless spreadsheets and rely on complex formulas to get anything close to scalable. Now, with the power of embeddings at our fingertips, it’s not only automated but also far more accurate.” Roxana Stingu Head of Search and SEO Alamy -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://www.google.com/retail/how-google-merchant-center-works/ It’s also
a must to integrate with Google merchant center for PDPs visibility in product packs which can be easily implemented via platforms & apps -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ Have you
integrated your Ecommerce product pages to be featured in Google's Free Merchant Listings? Even though most do it, there are still 18% of ecommerce sites that haven’t yet -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ What's your
top Ecommerce SEO activity priority to achieve goals this year? Merchant Center Product Feed Optimization is also gaining relevance as one of the top ecommerce SEO activities to prioritize this year -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Google has now
made it easier than ever to monitor product feeds issues with the merchant opportunities report in GSC -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-en/marketplace/apps/wordlift1610701057853.seo-merchant-feed If your
store platform doesn’t generate a product feed, use 3rd party solutions like the WordLift Product Knowledge Graph Builder for it -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/product Ensure parity
of merchant center feed with structured data, using all supported properties -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Eg. Implement the
product variants structured data in case you haven’t yet https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/product-variants -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce I would have
prioritized facets for product color queries before, now PDPs variations -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://brodieclark.com/little-known-rich-results-ecommerce/ Check this
excellent guide by Brodie Clark going through product rich results types and what triggers them, to prioritize them -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/generate-structured-data-with-javascript Something also
important is to avoid structured data implementation with CSR JS -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce This is what
happens when your product reviews stops overlying on CSR JS -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Not only reviews,
but also descriptions or images end up over-relying on CSR JS, making it challenging for Google to index at scale -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce You don’t want
to rank well just to get less visibility than the pages below due to the lack of thumbnail and search features -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Always validate CSR
JS reliance of key PDPs areas triggering features w/ crawlers & GSC Sitebulb -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce If you can’t
SSR, go for hydration or pre- rendering natively or via a 3rd party solution Botify, pretender.io -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Monitor beyond invalid
items, check the “improve item appearance” report from the GSC product & merchant listings to validate & fix Google Search Console -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce For thumbnails &
image packs, it’s not only about your products images indexability but about size and relevant descriptions too https://brodieclark.com/google-image-thumbnails/ -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Image optimization is
now fundamental due to thumbnails, image packs & Google lens Follow Image Optimization best practices: • Crawlable <img src> based (not background, no CSR JS) • Supported image format: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, WebP, SVG, and AVIF • Image XML Sitemap • Responsive Images • Descriptive ALT Text • Descriptive File Name • High quality, resolution • Optimized for speed • Structured Data https://blog.google/products/search/google-search-lens-october-2024-updates/ -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Are you taking
any actions to optimize your Ecommerce images for Image Packs, Thumbnails, Google images, Lens, etc.? https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ Despite the impact of images in product SERPs, too many SEOs haven’t taken action yet “People buy first with their eyes and than with their brains. This is especially evident in the context of multimodal search…” Gianluca Fiorelli SEO Consultant -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Create a PDP/
PLP benchmark to assess the gap vs top players per vertical, to prioritize efforts and gain support -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://www.aleydasolis.com/en/search-engine-optimization/the-ecommerce-product-page-seo-gpt-validator-and-sheet-checklist/ Use the
Ecommerce Product Page Optimization Checklist to avoid missing anything out -

have the Ecommerce Product Page Validator GPT to support you with the process -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ Are you
tracking your Ecommerce sites pages inclusions in product related search features? It’s also critical to monitor what’s going on in the SERPs and the impact of your efforts but 31% of SEOs are not yet tracking search features -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Has the inclusion
of AI Overviews in SERPs had an impact in your Ecommerce organic search traffic so far? https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ More measurement is needed! Although AIO inclusion in Ecommerce is trivial, 27% of SEOs are not sure of their impact -

Set alerts to be warned whenever important visibility and SERP feature inclusion changes -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Remember to also
look at the SERPs! How can you stand out and better fulfill users intent? Many times is not with a PDP/PLP -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce More commercial product
queries SERPs are also less transactional and more blended than before featuring expert reviews and UGC PDP UGC Expert Review PDP UGC -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce PAAs growth in
product SERPs also means more visibility to reviews, guides & UGC -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce PLPS PDPS GUIDES
/ REVIEWS CONSIDERATION GUIDES / REVIEWS PDPS ACQUISITION AWARENESS Ecommerce sites are not keen to invest on top of the funnel content, but you can’t expect users to trust you over others to buy, if they have helped them first and they don’t recognize you -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3M_tal884c Google has
shared they want to show “real” brands with expertise & experience in SERPs -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Ahrefs Affiliates still
growing for product queries show brand characteristics: specialization, expertise, strong topical authority, and excellent UX -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce In SERPs full
of features, creating a brand users recognize is also key for trust & CTR -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Semrush Also, if
you already have the expertise, why leave publications to profit from an increasing number of relevant product commercial queries? -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce This content will
establish topical authority, brand recognition and attract backlinks Semrush -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce See what Nordstrom

such a high share of these queries are commercial & transactional, that can be tied to your product offering -

which of your targeted topics this happens, & where the traffic is actually going -
#ecommerceseostate by @aleyda from @orainti at #recommerce Similarweb Which are
the pages attracting most of the clicks for the top terms? What’s their nature? -

invest in well integrated & helpful content through the full journey https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ “I wish more SEO’s understood the power of focusing on optimizing entry pages for conversion.

become a must due to SEO complexities & fast SERP changes https://hub.seofomo.co/surveys/ecommerce-seo-survey/ “While SEO remains a highly effective channel, consistent success is not guaranteed… SEO is a long game, influenced by ever-evolving algorithms, increasing competition, and technical complexities. Even with a solid strategy, it can take months to see ROI and these results are rarely linear. It also highlights the importance of setting realistic KPIs and tracking the right metrics.
