Human Touch in SEO Content: Josh emphasises the importance of incorporating a human element into SEO content. While AI can assist in generating basic content, he advises against relying solely on it for final outputs. Instead, he suggests that content should reflect the brand's unique voice and opinion, which can enhance engagement and conversion rates. This approach helps differentiate content from the generic outputs often produced by AI. 2. Strategic Use of Collection Pages: For ecommerce sites, Josh recommends focusing on creating specific collection pages that cater to various search terms related to the products. By understanding how customers use products and creating targeted collection pages, businesses can improve their SEO performance. This strategy involves using keyword research tools like Ahrefs to identify relevant terms and crafting content that aligns with customer needs and search behaviours. 3. Content Ecosystem for Smaller Catalogues: For businesses with a limited number of products, Josh suggests building a content ecosystem around those products. This involves writing blog posts that address common customer questions and concerns, thereby enhancing the authority and relevance of the site. By doing so, smaller brands can compete with larger competitors by leveraging content to boost their collections pages' rankings and overall site visibility. --- If this episode of the eCommerce Podcast piqued your interest make sure to check out everything that gets done over here on the eCommerce Podcast, a space dedicated to eCommerce Wow!
