Content-driven ecommerce.<\/strong> While it remains to be seen how impactful Google\u2019s helpful content update<\/a> will be, one thing is clear, according to BrightEdge: the time is now for retailers to differentiate their content so it will rank in search results. In other words, offer more than a product description.<\/p>\n
Retailers that ultimately will win are those that will provide better content experiences. How? By:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Focusing on content and context about the product.<\/li>\n
- Organizing categories in ways that make it easy for the user to shop across multiple related products.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
3. Blue links matter.<\/strong> There\u2019s been a lot of discussion in the past decade or so about how Google is much more than 10 blue links. For key ecommerce terms, however, 70% of all clicks are going to those classic blue links, according to BrightEdge\u2019s data.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s still common to find the local three-pack for ecommerce search terms on Google. However, the prominence of local packs has declined from 25% to 19% in the past two years. Also in decline: videos and image carousels. Meanwhile, People Also Ask has grown slightly.<\/p>\n
