Tips to Optimise Product Descriptions for SEO

The Genie Crawl team have put some tips together to optimise your product descriptions for SEO:

Structure is Important

Your consumers are likely to skim through the information you provide to find what they are looking for. The more skimmable your product descriptions are the better they are for SEO. Use concise sentences, make use of headings, keep paragraphs short, and make use of bullet points.

Use Keywords Naturally

Keywords are essential when it comes to SEO. Choose keywords and phrases that are relevant to your product. Add some long-tail keywords that are low competition with high conversion rates. Keywords must be used naturally within your product descriptions without overstuffing. Keywords should also be added to your titles, meta data, and URLs.

Write Unique and Relevant Content

People don't read product descriptions the same as they would read a blog. They scan the content to find what they need to know. Write unique, meaningful, relevant, and authoritative content that gets to the point, serving the purpose.

Content length is just as important. There is no rule that product descriptions should be a certain length. You can determine the content length by the needs of your audience and how much convincing they need to click the button and take a desired action.

Titles and Headings

Titles and headings are very important when it comes to SEO product descriptions. Title should be concise and contain the targeted keyword, while headings should be used to break up and organise the content with keywords. 

Don’t forget to use your targeted keywords in your title tags, meta descriptions, and alt text.

Product Description Body

This is the part that resonates with your audience, encouraging them to make a purchase. Focus on the benefits, avoid salesy language, stay concise and avoid fluff, ensure your sentences are short and to the point, and make use of bullet lists, images, graphics, and other options to catch your users attention, encouraging them to engage with your content.

Call to Action (CTA)

Every product description should have a clear call to action (CTA). You can use “add to cart” or “buy now” buttons where they are easily seen and in a colour that stands out.
