Best practices for ecommerce sites in Google Search

A critical challenge for any ecommerce website is being discovered in Search. Acquiring customers and
building a relationship with them is an important driver of business growth, and Google can
help shoppers discover your site at each stage in the shopping journey.

This set of guides is for developers who are building websites and that want to ensure that the site
works well with Google and follows SEO best practices. The focus is on online commerce sites (ecommerce), but many of the
points are equally relevant to sites that list products that are only available at brick and
mortar stores. When you share your ecommerce data and site structure with Google, Google can
more easily find and parse your content, which allows your content to show up in Google Search
and other Google surfaces. This can help shoppers find your site and products.

Here’s a brief description of each page.

Cómo lo aplicamos

Ecommerce SEO is a structural problem more than a content one. Before writing a single product description we look at faceted navigation, canonicalisation and pagination, because those three decide whether the catalogue can be indexed at all.
