Content Is King


Relevant content is the key element for you to focus on, as it is this which ultimately affects how search engines return your pages via search queries. Note: It is important you write content from the perspective of the reader first, and then optimise it for search engines second. Product data quality is especially important to focus on in terms of good product titles, use of brand names, strong descriptions and relevant options and attributes. 


Remember: Ensure all images you upload to the site are optimised to have the lowest possible file sizes for faster page load speed. In addition, we use thumbnailing, caching and WebP browser support to deliver faster load times.


Product Data Feed


Product data can be fed into Google Shopping via our Google feed for use with Product Listing Ads.


Site Launch


Launching your site correctly is critical and we recommend following a thorough site launch process with plenty of time allowed for proof reading, content sign off, plus comprehensive testing for user journeys, forms, checkout process and browsers. 


Analytics & Search Console


We integrate with Google Analytics and Google Search Console so you can monitor the health of your site (indexing, crawl stats, 404 errors etc) as well as traffic, events, revenues and conversions.
