Slide 12

Slide 12 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti E-commerce site characteristics make

 but inconsistent status Overlooking informational content and resources

Slide 15

Slide 15 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Let’s see how to avoid these and maximize 
 e-commerce organic search growth

Slide 16

Slide 16 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Internal search results 
 cannibalizing categories #ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti

Slide 17

Slide 17 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti This can cause you to rank for non-relevant or even spammy terms

Slide 18

Slide 18 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Which is not so qualified traffic that 
 you’ll eventually lose anyway

Slide 19

Slide 19 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Or rank poorly with internal search result URLs rather than relevant facet pages

Slide 20

Slide 20 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti This SEO horror story happens when indexing internal search results to attract traffic

Slide 21

Slide 21 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Also allowing crawling without constraint

Slide 22

Slide 22 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Generating content duplication with 
 meant-to-rank categories or facets

Slide 23

Slide 23 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti That end up cannibalized in Google 
 search results by these other pages

Slide 24

Slide 24 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Don’t feel bad if you’re doing it, 
 it’s thankfully easy to solve

Slide 25

Slide 25 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Some canonicalize internal search URLs to indexable alternate facets

Slide 26

Slide 26 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti But it’s important to point to actual alternate pages, not the home page

Slide 27

Slide 27 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti You can also 
 301-redirect internal search result URLs to relevant indexable facets

Slide 28

Slide 28 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Or even avoid these URLs suggesting categories or products when searching

Slide 29

Slide 29 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti While monitoring your internal searches to identify categories or facets to create

Slide 30

Slide 30 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti There are many ways to solve this issue, 
 and avoid an SEO horror story in the making!

Slide 31

Slide 31 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Noindexing subcategories 
 & facets with search potential #ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti

Slide 32

Slide 32 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Many online stores noindex facets by default, losing their high traffic potential

Slide 33

Slide 33 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Some sites canonicalize all their sub-categories 
 or facets to their main categories by default

Slide 34

Slide 34 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Or even block them from being crawled entirely 


Slide 35

Slide 35 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Others also noindex and obfuscate links to avoid 
 thin content or duplication & control crawl budget

Slide 36

Slide 36 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti However, subcategories and facets can connect with popular searches with high commercial intent

Slide 37

Slide 37 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti If your subcategories or facets can’t rank, 
 your product pages will, but worse

Slide 38

Slide 38 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti But product pages will have inconsistent rankings for these queries, cannibalizing each other

Slide 39

Slide 39 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Main categories will also rank, 
 but have poorer conversion

Slide 40

Slide 40 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Should you index a sub-category or facet page? Index Noindex No Are there enough products at the sub- category/facet level to satisfy the user need? No Yes Yes Demand Supply The sub-category/ facet has enough search volume to compensate their optimization It’s critical to validate supply and demand of each facet to index

Slide 41

Slide 41 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Assess search volume and intent related to each query

Slide 42

Slide 42 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Validate number of unique products per facet to satisfy demand

Slide 43

Slide 43 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti If demand & supply compensate for subcategory and facet optimization, index and optimize >

Slide 44

Slide 44 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti While allowing crawling and linking 
 effectively through canonical URLs Don’t do this

Slide 45

Slide 45 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Yes, there’s little point to index and optimize 
 them if you won’t internally link to them

Slide 46

Slide 46 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Lack of unique commercial 
 content in categories #ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti

Slide 47

Slide 47 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Categories and facets connect with a long tail of popular commercial searches

Slide 48

Slide 48 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti But many only feature links to products, without any descriptive text, making them hard to rank #ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti

Slide 49

Slide 49 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Many add text at the bottom to improve relevance without hurting conversion

Slide 50

Slide 50 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti But too often this content isn’t useful and doesn’t connect with user intent

Slide 51

Slide 51 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti This can cause confusion regarding page intent 
 “Our algorithms sometimes get confused … when they have a list of products on top and essentially a giant article on the bottom” John Mueller https://bit.ly/3OZESqM

Slide 52

Slide 52 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Instead, show as many products per page as viable, with longer descriptions Product 1 Product 2 Product 3 Product 4 Product 5 Product 6 CATEGORY A Pages: 1, 2, 3… 100 Product 1 Product 2 Product 3 Product 4 Product 5 Product 6 CATEGORY B Pages: 1, 2, 3… 60 < Product 7 Product 8 Product 9 Product 10 * Explain why you’re in the best place to buy these products * Clarify common doubts of customers when buying these types of products

Slide 53

Slide 53 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti This format will connect with commercial search intent

Slide 54

Slide 54 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Also identify commercially- driven queries to address customer doubts Moz, SEMrush, Sistrix

Slide 55

Slide 55 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Use keyword and content optimization tools for suggestions based on content nature Frase, Surfer

Slide 56

Slide 56 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti From FAQs to Facts, these can be integrated 
 within categories/facets pages to support sales Reassure users that the products they’re seeing are the best for their scenario Mitigate any doubts around the use and characteristics of the products Show why they’re in the best place to buy these products … #ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti

Slide 57

Slide 57 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti And blend with the products listing design to make them visible and helpful to users #ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti

Slide 58

Slide 58 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Establish patterns to generate these at scale while leveraging content automation tools to help writers FAQs: • Are these boots made from real leather? 
 • Do these boots have a good transpiration system? 
 • What are the best pants to wear with knee-high boots?

Slide 60

Slide 60 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Product pages with poor 
 unique descriptive content #ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti

Slide 61

Slide 61 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Product pages target the longest tail of queries 
 that can end up generating most of your traffic

Slide 62

Slide 62 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Users love sharing product pages, attracting backlinks and direct traffic, too

Slide 63

Slide 63 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti But product URLs can show little unique content and Google tends to leave them out of their index

Slide 64

Slide 64 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Unique descriptions Comparisons Instructions Images Complementary Products Similar Products Product pages should feature specific, 
 descriptive information Reviews and Q&As Specifications

Slide 65

Slide 65 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Products should give compelling reasons to buy with descriptions, images, videos, reviews, comparisons, etc.

Slide 66

Slide 66 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti This is even more important if you’re not the only vendor of the product! What’s your USP? Feature it

Slide 67

Slide 67 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Use unique, descriptive, persistent URLs 
 for each variant you want to index https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/ecommerce/designing-a-url- structure-for-ecommerce-sites#how-google-understands-urls-for-product-variants Avoid showing the same products through different URLs Minimize the number of alternative URLs that return the same content Use descriptive product variant names in URLs Avoid temporary parameters, such as session-IDs, tracking codes, user-relative values

Slide 68

Slide 68 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Title & meta description with version and color Product description with version and color Product heading with version and color VS Differentiate similar products and variants using their unique characteristics in the metadata Product heading with version and color Title & meta description with version and color Product description with version and color

Slide 74

Slide 74 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti But what if you have many identical or very 
 similar products with a very short lifespan?

Slide 75

Slide 75 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Consolidate on aggregator pages for product names while avoiding indexing individual URLs

Slide 76

Slide 76 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Note that adding many product variants (like colors) on a single page makes it ineligible for product rich results https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/ecommerce/designing-a-url- structure-for-ecommerce-sites#how-google-understands-urls-for-product-variants

Slide 77

Slide 77 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti There are challenges, but it’s possible to differentiate your product content to rank and sell better

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti Some product URLs can have a very short lifespan and end up generating errors

Slide 80

Slide 80 text

#ecommerceseohorror at #mozcon by @aleyda from @orainti These don’t only affect the site crawl health, 
 but the rankings & traffic attracted by these pages

Slide 81

Slide 81 text
