Retail Industry Challenges

More Customers Research Online and Buy in Person or Have Delivered

An average shopper now starts their research online comparing products, price points, and value before stepping into a store. Building a compelling digital experience and website experience is getting crucial to engage shoppers at the top of the buying journey.

Listing Higher in Search Engine Page Results

With a leap of digital disruption and intense competition, it is getting difficult for retailers to list higher in search engine performance. Retailers need to use schemas, provide product descriptions, local listing pages, and search engine optimized pages to stand out.

Need for Providing Fresh Informational Content

Gone are the days of websites and products with overfocus on keywords. In the age where consumers start online, retailers need to focus on providing informational content which answers the questions they are looking out for BEFORE they decide what to buy.

Ask our experts

Why is Local SEO important for retail business?

Research conducted by Google found 3 in 4 people who conduct a local search on their smartphone visit a related business within 24 hours. Local SEO helps you optimize your content and store location pages to inform and attract local searchers.

We would recommend optimizing your store pages for mobile, include relevant content, complete your Google My Business profile, secure positive reviews, add photos, make sure your name, address, and phone are complete, accurate, and consistent, and use advanced schemas.

How does Milestone CMS drive a surge in revenue and leads for retailers?

Milestone’s CMS offers advanced SEO technology built into the platform that drives an immediate increase in revenue and leads from the website. The faster speed, AMP, schemas, indexability, and crawlability of the website results in a better organic search presence leading to an increase in revenue and leads for retailers by close to 25%.

What’s the importance of FAQs for retailers?

Every search query online is a question, and every search result is an answer. An FAQ (frequently asked question) is a medium for retailers to answer queries of their customers about the products and services offers. And answering consumer questions will boost your search engine performance. Unlike community forums, Q&As, FAQs have a single business answer and no crowdsourced answers. FAQs on your website and best answers will increase your site visibility in zero position on the SERPs.

How does schema markup help search engines find your retail business content?

Schema is semantic vocabulary or code that is added into the HTML of your website. This code helps search engines understand and differentiate your content. Schema markup helps search engines understand who your target audience would be and delivers the most relevant results to the query.  As defined by search engines Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Yandex, schema types are arranged in a hierarchal structure and to date, there are 818 Types, 1326 Properties, and 289 Enumeration values in the schema dictionary or vocabulary.   Check out the schemas that apply for your retail business with properties and descriptions in https://schema.org/Store
