In this thread, I will show you how to SEO your WooCommerce store. This topic will help you to increase your WooCommerce store rank in the search result, and increase your sales.

1. Include Product Descriptions

Always add product descriptions to your WooCommerce Product, both description and a short description.  It is better to use your own description than copy/paste it from other place.

2. Optimize Page Titles

The page title should tell what the page is about. In WooCommerce, you will have categories page and product page. You should use keywords on your page title.  But remember that “content is for people”. And don’t forget the readability.

3. Enable Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumb links appear along the top of product pages and help visitors move back to previous category or landing pages easily.

4. Make Site Navigation Simple

Clean and simple site navigation can have a big impact on your bounce rates and time spent on site. If visitors are spending more time on your site, your site is likely to rank higher in search results.

5. Make URLs Short, Descriptive

By default, your product URLs will be yourdomain.com/?product=111

You can change your permalink in the Dashboard/ Settings/ Permalink

With permalinks, the default will look like this: yourdomain.com/product/product-name
