Rich Snippets on category pages<\/h3>\n<p>Rich snippets have been around for a good number of years now and a report published by Searchmetrics (you can read it here) back in 2014 stated over a third of keywords in Google search results include Schema snippets; I expect this number to be higher now.<\/p>\n<p>Rich snippets are still not widely used on category pages. You might not know but using them on category pages can drive more people to click on your listings because customers will be able to see how highly rated you are.<\/p>\n<p>PPC ads gain this functionality through external review platforms, but can do that organically too by marking the page with the relevant information for Google.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>PPC Example<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tent-at-Halfords.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2424\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tent-at-Halfords.png?resize=611%2C198\" alt=\"Tent at Halfords\" width=\"611\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tent-at-Halfords.png?w=611&amp;ssl=1 611w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tent-at-Halfords.png?resize=300%2C97&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>SEO Example<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tent-from-17.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2425\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tent-from-17.png?resize=640%2C138\" alt=\"Tent from 17\" width=\"640\" height=\"138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tent-from-17.png?w=1086&amp;ssl=1 1086w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tent-from-17.png?resize=300%2C64&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Tent-from-17.png?resize=1024%2C220&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shows positive feedback from customers whose trust you have gained<\/li>\n<li>The number of reviews is an indicator of the popularity of products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you don\u2019t have good feedback, then you could lose a potential customer very early in the customer journey<\/li>\n<li>Very similar visual to PPC ads which could put people off if they normally actively choose organic listings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Offers Or Price In Title Tag<\/h3>\n<p>Retailers in different niches have different ways to foster urgency e.g. luxury uses prestige &amp; quality, fashion uses brand &amp; season and electronics uses price &amp; spec.<\/p>\n<p>For this example I\u2019m going to use price; PPC ads often include an offer or price in the headline and the purpose is to show customers that you offer the best price or have a running offer that can drive traffic through. You can easily recreate this organically as long as you can fit in your primary, supporting keyword and brand in your title tag.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>PPC Example<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Road-Bikes.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2441\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Road-Bikes.png?resize=496%2C200\" alt=\"Road Bikes\" width=\"496\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Road-Bikes.png?w=496&amp;ssl=1 496w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Road-Bikes.png?resize=300%2C120&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>SEO Example<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Road-Bikes-from-280.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2442\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Road-Bikes-from-280.png?resize=640%2C145\" alt=\"Road Bikes from 280\" width=\"640\" height=\"145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Road-Bikes-from-280.png?w=1092&amp;ssl=1 1092w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Road-Bikes-from-280.png?resize=300%2C67&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Road-Bikes-from-280.png?resize=1024%2C230&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have the best price\/offer in the market, then \u00a0your customers can see it before landing on the site<\/li>\n<li>Free way to promote your prices against competitors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Needs to be automated as prices can change quickly.

Create Urgency With USPS<\/h3>\n<p>Unique selling points are key in retail. They are the questions customers ask and the answers retailers try and shout about.<\/p>\n<p>USPs stand out when customers scan through paid ads because they reinforce brand values as well as provide tangible reasons to shop with them. \u00a0Organically you should be punchier with your meta descriptions to sell your brand.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>PPC Example<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cycling-Shorts.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2452\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cycling-Shorts.png?resize=484%2C213\" alt=\"Cycling Shorts\" width=\"484\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cycling-Shorts.png?w=484&amp;ssl=1 484w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cycling-Shorts.png?resize=300%2C132&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>SEO Example<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cycling-shorts-and-Bib-shorts.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2453\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cycling-shorts-and-Bib-shorts.png?resize=632%2C129\" alt=\"Cycling shorts and Bib shorts\" width=\"632\" height=\"129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cycling-shorts-and-Bib-shorts.png?w=1053&amp;ssl=1 1053w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cycling-shorts-and-Bib-shorts.png?resize=300%2C61&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Cycling-shorts-and-Bib-shorts.png?resize=1024%2C209&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 632px) 100vw, 632px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nPros<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Takes a conventional marketing practice into SEO thus, creates consistency across all channels<\/li>\n<li>Gives customers tangible reasons and thus more opportunities for clicks especially if you\u2019re a smaller brand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>USPs need to be quantitative otherwise they lack the punch to stand out<\/li>\n<li>There shouldn\u2019t be any caveats to your USPs, otherwise it could frustrate customers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4. Strict Character Limits<\/h3>\n<p>Character limits have been one of the pillars of SEO best practices but in recent years the importance \u00a0has moved towards pixel length which means more sites go over the limits.<\/p>\n<p>With PPC, you aren\u2019t allowed to go over the limit but organically you can, it\u2019s just bad practice to go over the recommended pixel limit. \u00a0Now with the mobile friendly label the pixel limit has reduced so you need to adjust accordingly. \u00a0If the majority of your traffic is still from desktop then it would be better not to reduce the meta to fit in with mobile.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Desktop Example<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Kids-Bikes.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2459\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Kids-Bikes.png?resize=639%2C124\" alt=\"Kids Bikes\" width=\"639\" height=\"124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Kids-Bikes.png?w=1065&amp;ssl=1 1065w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Kids-Bikes.png?resize=300%2C58&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Kids-Bikes.png?resize=1024%2C199&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Mobile Example<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Kids-Bikes-for-35.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2460\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Kids-Bikes-for-35.png?resize=449%2C204\" alt=\"Kids Bikes for 35\" width=\"449\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Kids-Bikes-for-35.png?w=642&amp;ssl=1 642w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Kids-Bikes-for-35.png?resize=300%2C136&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Allows your customer to see the entire marketing message (meta description)<\/li>\n<li>Gives a tidy and more professional visual to customers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have a responsive site then cutting the meta description because of the mobile friendly tag will mean less room to get across your message on desktop<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s a manual task and cannot be automated as something important could be cut off and your meta descriptions should be unique per category and product<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5. Measure CTR<\/h3>\n<p>And finally, measuring the impact of your meta data changes. \u00a0The primary KPI is CTR and ranking changes \u2013 for example if your ranking moves from 5 to 1 then the improved CTR is likely to be due to this. \u00a0Google Search Console lets you fragment and view CTR by keyword, page and device.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>PPC Example<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Ad.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2465\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Ad.png?resize=640%2C215\" alt=\"Ad\" width=\"640\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Ad.png?w=1403&amp;ssl=1 1403w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Ad.png?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Ad.png?resize=1024%2C343&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Ad.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>SEO Example<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/AvgCTR.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2466\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/AvgCTR.png?resize=640%2C291\" alt=\"AvgCTR\" width=\"640\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/AvgCTR.png?w=1961&amp;ssl=1 1961w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/AvgCTR.png?resize=300%2C136&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/AvgCTR.png?resize=1024%2C466&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/AvgCTR.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above are 5 ways to take on PPC processes into your SEO actions. \u00a0Do you use other techniques? \u00a0Please comment below!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PPC professionals continually test and execute strategies to improve the CTR of ads and SEO that can take on some of their processes in order to drive more traffic organically.
