The Memo

Why retail SEO matters for online stores

SEO matters. A lot. The simple answer is your customers browse and buy products using Google. If you’re not easy to find, then chances are you won’t get much business.

But don’t just take our word for it. Check out these numbers:

  • 44% of consumers begin online shopping by using Google. Without a strong online presence, you have a slim chance of being discovered.
  • eCommerce websites do big business. And organic search results account for 37.5% of their traffic. You need to be ranking in Google for the right keyword phrases to pop up in front of new shoppers.
  • 23.6% of all online orders through eCommerce stores are linked to organic clicks. So not only are people finding their way to the big brands from online channels, but they are also purchasing products once they get there.
  • Who clicks beyond the first page in Google, honestly? If you’re not one of the first 10 brands that people see, then you’ll struggle to attract attention.

A robust SEO campaign can boost your website and make your brand impossible to miss.

The benefits of SEO for online retailers

Not a numbers person? That’s okay! SEO offers businesses all kinds of benefits. And, the proof is well and truly in the pudding. Whether you’re a big, small or medium-sized eCommerce retailer, this marketing strategy can do wonders.

The benefits of SEO include:

You can spend as little or as much as you wish

SEO won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Instead, you can choose a plan based on your needs, and get great results regardless of your budget.

You can customise your approach

One of the best parts about SEO is that you can tailor your strategy to suit your goals. Want to boost your entire website? Optimise from the ground up. Want to boost the visibility of just your sale items? Focus on these relevant pages and keywords alone. It’s totally up to you.

You can boost your local SEO

SEO is a smart move if you have a brick-and-mortar store. And you’ll be glad to know that this approach will help you to stand out in some pretty nifty ways. Basically, Google populates its map pack results according to the geographical location of the searcher. If you show up in these types of searches, then that’s great news for you.

You can learn cool things about your customers

You’ll gain a world of insight when you start SEO. The reason? Because you can take advantage of powerful analytics about your customers. Use this information to tweak your marketing strategies and watch as your profits skyrocket.

We’ve worked with Impressive for over two years, and they’ve been an excellent SEO partner. They supported us through a highly complex website migration, consolidating 11 sites into 1, while helping us maintain our existing rankings and protect organic visibility throughout the transition. Rachel has been exceptional to work with: smart, responsive, and highly proactive. The team has helped us navigate business challenges, respond to Google algorithm changes, and implement new AEO strategies to strengthen our visibility across LLM-driven discovery / AI search platforms. What we value about Impressive is their ability to combine technical SEO expertise with forward-thinking strategy. Their work has helped put us in a stronger competitive position. I would highly recommend them to any business managing a complex migration or looking for an agency that understands both SEO fundamentals and the future of AI-driven search.

We've partnered with Impressive for over 3 years as our SEO agency at Podium Australia, and the results have been exceptional. When we launched in AU, we were starting from zero organically and heavily reliant on paid media. Impressive built a strategic roadmap that transformed organic search into a scalable, sustainable acquisition channel. They improved our local relevance and built high-intent content that actually converts. Their team is proactive, transparent, and genuinely feels like an extension of our own. They consistently bring fresh ideas and commercial thinking to every conversation. If you're looking for an SEO partner focused on real business outcomes, I couldn't recommend Impressive more highly.

We’ve been working with Impressive for over a year now after switching from another SEO agency, and the difference has been outstanding. They not only develop a strategy that truly aligns with your business goals, but they also clearly outline the steps required to achieve it. Each month, they make it easy to understand the actions you need to take and the progress being made.

Here’s how you can stand out from other retail websites with SEO

Want to really stand out from the crowd? There are a few important tips and tricks that you need to apply as part of your SEO strategy. Nail them all and the sky’s the limit. 

Keyword research 

To reach the right people, you need to be ranking for the right keywords. So be sure to plan ahead and think carefully about what types of phrases your target audience would be using. Then, thread these throughout your content to ensure your website ticks all the right boxes. When it comes to retail, you can add keyword-rich content across blogs, product descriptions and sale pages. 

Remember, short-tail keywords (ones that contain one to three words) are great. But the best keywords to focus on are long-tail variants. These are specific phrases made up of three to four words. They are more descriptive and in turn, help you to narrow in on exactly what a shopper is hunting for.

On and off-page SEO

There are two key elements to SEO for retail businesses. On-page and off-page SEO. It’s critical that you get both right to really rank high. 

On-page SEO

On-page SEO refers to everything that you can tweak and play with on the actual page itself. This relates to optimising headings and body copy, writing meta titles and tags, adding rich media and more. 

Off-page SEO 

Off-page SEO comes down to everything that goes on behind the scenes. Simply put, it’s about building your domain’s authority online. How do you do this? By acquiring high-quality backlinks from other websites. 

Award-Winning Local SEO Agency

What is local SEO, and why is it important for retail stores?

Great question. As mentioned above, local SEO is about making your brand discoverable to local searchers. This is critical if you have a physical store that you want to direct customers to. Basically, if someone types in ‘shoes for men’ on their smart device, instead of showing them all of the brands across the country, Google will show them a list of local retailers instead. From there, the shopper can easily navigate straight to your location.

The bottom line? If you’re not visible through local SEO, you’re missing out on a big piece of the pie.
