Conclusion: Ecommerce SEO is an Ongoing Project
Just as there is always something to fix when you own a home, SEO is multi-faceted and always changing. Keeping your on-page content unique and fresh will help signal to search engines that you have the best content for your products and your industry. Thankfully as with any skill - the more DIY SEO you complete, the better you get.
Building an off-page blogging strategy shares your expertise with your customer base, while a strong social media presence is crucial to building your brand’s voice and personality so you can connect with your customers on a more personal level.
Supplementary work, such as paid search advertising and website design, helps feature your company in more places on search engine results pages, builds trust that the site functions as it should and creates a pleasant user experience.
So many moving parts require the time and patience to appropriately handle all of them, which can be a daunting task for any one person. Utilizing the resources of a full, in-house digital marketing agency insures that your website is in good hands, freeing you up to handle the everyday management of your business.
