🔍 My WooCommerce SEO Strategy
📝 1. Blog Weekly (Content Marketing)
We published 1-2 SEO-optimized blog posts per week, covering:
Product Use Cases: How-to guides like “How to Use Hair Masks for Best Results”
Comparison Posts: e.g., “Top 5 Moisturizers for Oily Skin Compared”
Gift Guides: e.g., “Best Beauty Gifts for Mother’s Day”
This attracted long-tail keywords and buyer-intent traffic.
🎯 2. On-Page SEO
Optimized meta titles and slugs for every product and blog post
Used descriptive alt tags for product and blog images
Created SEO-friendly URLs (e.g.,
/best-hair-care-products-2025)Ensured content had headings (H1–H3), bullet points, and images
