Let’s start with Product Search…

Organic levers you can pull for Search Optimization

Key Highlights:

• Product content is not a one-time fix. It’s seasonal. Seasons change and so does your product. Your content needs to reflect these dynamic changes. 
• Fact – Search rankings drop when product availability starts dipping.
  Lesser known fact – even after stock replenishing, your search ranking does not bounce back immediately. The opportunity cost of dwindling product stock is high. 
• Being optimized for the right keyword is good. Being optimized for the right keyword, with a higher ranking than your competitor is great! 
• Ratings & Reviews have a large correlation with search ranking and impact on sales.

We then asked the audience what factors they thought had the biggest impact on search rankings…
