Boosting your SEO is a key factor when it comes to your business and its success. Ensuring that your website lands on the first page of a Google search is what your focus should be devised to. Typically, when people make a Google search, they are not interested in the links beyond the first page as they are perceived as less reliable and relatable. In fact, about 4.8% of users make it to page 2, and even less beyond that, meaning that roughly 90% remain on the first page only. This means your business must stand out among competitors and be on the first page to increase both your business’ website traffic and sales.

We put together 5 effective SEO ecommerce strategies that your business can implement to ensure you increase your SEO and the subsequent benefits of this.  

What Is a Marketing Strategy and Why Is it important?

Mobile devices are closely embedded into our daily lives. What once was seen as an exclusive form of telephone service is now a staple item for every individual. When Steve Jobs walked the stage at the Macworld Expo in January 2007, he introduced the world’s first all-touch interface, the iPhone. Who knew that the iPhone would become a key driver in the smartphone revolution? Ultimately, transforming how websites are being built and used.

In business, especially successful businesses, transactions, and interactions internationally are almost guaranteed to occur.

Having someone apart from the team gives an advantage to the business or company when they do decide to venture into the international field.

And then you hit it, traffic. Every morning, without fail, there is traffic somewhere in the city. Seeing those brake lights light up can be one of the most frustrating things.

Picture this: You’re downloading a new app. You hit the “get started” button and you’re asked to enter your name, birthday (so you can receive a ‘Happy Birthday’ text of course), and email address.
