On a page, SEO has changed over the years, so it’s important to keep up with the latest practice. So here I entitled some of the topics which are really needed for the successful on-page SEO.

Meta title, description, and keyword get a lot of flack in the SEO industry, SEO professionals knows that they don’t influence rankings. However, they can play a massive role in your CTR(Click through rate). So don’t neglect them. Have a great meta description can improve your traffic without any movement in rankings

Review/ Rating, Stock availability, Price, Name of seller(for the big store), Condition of product(eg. New/Old). This structured data is shown in SERPs results. If someone search product, if our product appears and we apply various type of structured data the product listed with structured data
For e.g if the user writes query Odoo woo commerce connector then this website will appear in search result with rich snippets.Rating, Price, Stock, appears as a structured data.
3) Check robots.txt
The robots.txt file can completely stop all organic traffic arriving at your store. It’s obviously this is something that doesn’t change on its own but we should know that who has access to change it.
Robots.txt also has many reasons to use it as an online retailer, it’s most important part of SEO. people make mistakes while implementing robots.txt on an eCommerce store. Robots.txt is using to configure to block site search results. Sometimes you don’t want some of the content. At that, you have to specify that content page as no index. So, the robots.txt file plays a bigger role for every eCommerce website. You can check robots.txt to write www.example.com/robots.txt.
4) Sitemap
A sitemap is one of the most important of any eCommerce store. It contains all of the website URL’s and it will submit regularly to google from search console. We have to generate a sitemap from our store and submit it into google.

And they also give you specific page loading time. So you can find some of your pages is getting a long time, then you can minify those page. It’s also tested mobile speed.

We know that content is always king. The search engine works because of content. If you Website has low content then it creates trouble to rank your page. Some of the products have the very short description. Visit Navoco.de they have unique content for all product and category page Maximum advantage of product description should be taken and keyword related to that product should be included in the description. And be careful about duplicate content. Make sure that content should be dynamic and unique. Duplicate content will never rank in search engine.

If it is spammy then it will affect to your website.
Now, another Question will stick into your mind that how to do link building?
There are many ways to do link building. Some of the more effective and some less. Organic Link building is more effective compared to black hat technique.
There are two types of link “no follow” and “do follow”
“No, Follow” link means that website telling to search engine that I am not suggesting that this page has good information. So search engine will not pass the link juice.
“Do Follow” link means that website telling to search engine that this page has good information and google will pass the link juice
Blogspot(Web 2.0) :-
It’s a directory posting something like something like business directories, yellow pages but had a link pointing to our website. Google is not passing link juice to web 2.0 as much as passing into refer link.
Comment Link:-
The same concept as forum posting where you would comment on some other website or blog in order to get a link back, For e.g if you are user of query and someone ask question that is related to your website content at there you may give the link to user that this website will help you to solve your question. But Some of the websites gives nofollow links when you comment your link to their comment box.
