How to improve your store SEO and rank higher in search

Good SEO brings buyers to your store without paying for every click. The basics are not complicated, but knowing what to fix first is where most people get stuck. This guide covers the steps that move the needle and how Pigee SEO Pilot helps you prioritise.

Search traffic is some of the most valuable traffic you can earn, because it arrives with intent and without a per click cost. The trick is not doing everything at once but knowing which handful of fixes and pages will lift rankings fastest.

Start with keywords your buyers actually use

Write down the phrases a customer would type to find your products, including comparison and alternative searches. These keyword rich phrases should appear naturally in your titles, descriptions and headings.

Fix the technical basics

• Unique, descriptive page titles under sixty characters.
• Meta descriptions that read well and include the keyword.
• Fast loading pages and mobile friendly layouts.
• Clean URLs and a logical category structure.

Let SEO Pilot prioritise the work

Pigee SEO Pilot audits your site, flags issues such as placeholder titles or missing descriptions and ranks them by impact, so you spend your time on the changes that lift rankings fastest.
