Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Controls for eCommerce Websites
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a multi-faceted subject that ultimately breaks
down into on-page and off-page tactics. Retailers are often in highly competitive
keyword situations so it is critical that they establish an SEO strategy with goals
and tactics, and manage their SEO on an ongoing basis. OrderDynamics provides best
practices and tools for merchants to deliver highly effective on-page SEO. Everything
from highly optimized code and images, to easy-to-use interfaces that allow business
users to optimize their landing pages, OrderDynamics provides everything needed
for robust, on-page SEO.
Page Validation and Page Code
A proper, XHTML-compliant code implementation is fundamental for effective search
engine rankings. To ensure each page on your website is free of errors, is fast,
and meets the latest W3C standards, OrderDynamics fully manages the implementation
of the design-to-code process. This includes the generation of XHTML, CSS, and scripts,
mapping H1 and H2 tags to content, setting up breadcrumbs, mapping title tags and
alternative text to navigation, product names, and images. All subsequent changes
to the site layout are made available to the Client for file download or using our
built-in Content Management System (CMS). OrderDynamics also provides site-map generation
and support for Google Web Master Tools, Google Analytics, and Google Website Optimizer.
As part of SEO Migration Services, OrderDynamics provides a comprehensive service
to move all existing SEO content, meta data, and links from the old site to the
new location.
SEO for Product, Category, and Brand Pages
OrderDynamics provides powerful SEO controls for every landing page on your eStore
through easy-to-use interfaces from the eBusiness Manager. Every Product, Category,
and Brand in your database has an "SEO tab" that allows you to deliver a highly
search optimized landing page. This includes fields such as Page Title, Vanity URL
(keyword rich URL), Link Title Tag, Meta Keywords, and Meta Description. Also, the
imaging engine allows you to maintain the file names and the Alt Image Attribute
for your product, category, and brand images, providing maximum SEO control over
your assets. The OrderDynamics platform takes care of rendering all available SEO
information to each page, thumbnail image, navigation links, and breadcrumbs. OrderDynamics
also supports complex integration scenarios where the SEO information is delivered
via integration.
Landing Pages and Micro Sites
OrderDynamics provides the ability to launch micro-sites without creating completely
separate eStores. Using URL re-writing technology – or “vanity URLs”, OrderDynamics
allows you to host separate domains (micro sites) that are accessible using different
links but are driven off of the same database (or static page) as your primary eStore.
This is called “Domain Masking”. Using multiple content fields within OrderDynamics,
Domain Masks offer an SEO friendly way to market to specific audiences by delivering
them targeted content.
Domain Masks are used to launch micro-sites, personalized pages, and static promotional
pages with unique URLs and include full SEO controls. Domain Masks provide an effective
way to bind additional domains or existing links to product, category, or brand
landing pages using SEO friendly redirects and controls for search engine indexing
and following page links. Domain Masks, used in conjunction with a content strategy,
is an easy and fast way to increase search engine visibility.
