SaaS SEO – 3 Ways to Scale up , What Are Commercially Different With eCommerce SEO

10 months ago

SEO is not a strange term for most entrepreneurs and online marketers. Basically, it is a high ROI approach to capture customer search demand that can be converted into traffic and sales from different types of search engines. Normally you would find out that SEO can take up at least 20% or 30% of contribution margin in a financial table, or even more percentages along with your business being developed.

Having said that SEO strategies can differ hugely depending on the business model and products you are selling. For example, being different from eCommerce SEO, SaaS SEO instinctively can not leverage thousands of product pages, which can be playing a role into part of content strategy, because usually SaaS is selling one product or software, and running a subscription model to monetize the service and related asset.

So in this article, I would share some points of view on how to scale up SaaS SEO that is born without thousands of product page advantages. By the end, you can learn the common and difference between eCommerce SEO and SaaS SEO, and master some methodologies to apply to your SaaS business.

Shopify Conversion Rate – Increase by Optimising Product Pages Elements

10 months ago

Probably the product page of a Shopify store is the most important element to affect the conversion rate. If they are not ready, or even don’t work properly, you might be wasting advertising dollars and marketing effort, because anyone comes to your store and bounces out at the end due to a low-performance product page. You can’t put water in broken glass — it will never fill up. The same principle applies to traffic on your site; if your product pages are broken you will never get sales. 

I am not going to talk about how to find, design, and develop the best product, although indeed a good product is a king, and developing a product hugely needed by target customers is the easier way out. I’ll release the other article regarding how to research, design, and source of the product. 

In this article, I’d like to share my learnings on how to convert as many customers as possible from traffic, when your competitors are increasing like your business is shifting from a blue sea to a red sea, which is a very common business cycle. Even you have a golden hot selling product at the moment, my experience tells me at the end you need to find a way out to convert customers rather than only relying on products.

ChannelAdvisor – How to Centralise Managing Order Fulfillment, Inventory & Product Data for Multichannels

10 months ago

It might be okay if you manually list and change the product data, which includes the product, inventory, and shipment information on a single channel when you just started selling a few items online. However, your enjoyable days must go away along with your transaction volume going up on multiple online channels because if you are still handling by manual, you will get frustrated in the massive error of inconsistent product information across channels, heavily time-consuming to handle inventory in stock, or out of stock, and logistic for customer order delivery, order refund.

Also, manually managing those data connections is both cumbersome to maintain and dangerously prone to error, because requirements vary from each ad network or a retail marketplace, a web store destination. Once the data feed gets an error or very slow to respond, refresh and update on the destination, you could miss out on a huge chunk of sales and revenue. 

Thus, if you want your products to stand out on Amazon, Lazada, Rakuten, Google Shopping, Facebook, ShareASale affiliate network, and others, you’re going to need high quality customized product listing data, inventory data, and order fulfillment data feeds in an automatic format across channels. Today’s most successful sellers maintain a well-oiled machine of feed syndication and data harmonization — with strong pipes and paths that always send the correct data to each and every destination.
