Tim Capper
@GuideTwit
Director of Search at
Online Ownership
Beginners guide to Auditing your E-Commerce site. We cover the most common problems encountered within an E-Commerce site, and how to check for these problems using both free and paid tools.
Basic E-Commerce Site Audit

! You ! SEMrush ! Google Search Console ( formerly webmaster tools ) ! Google Page Speed Test ! Google Mobile Friendly Test ! Google Structured Data Testing Tool ! IIS Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Toolkit ( iss.net ) ! Varvy.com ( formerly feed the bot )
Tools for Site Audit
onlineownership.com plus.google.com/+TimCapper
Domain canonicalization or redirection to the preferred domain is normally taken care of by most e-commerce CMS systems, however this may only be top level, so it is worth checking category down to product level. It is Crucial that you get your sites redirection rules correct !
Domain Canonicalization
onlineownership.com plus.google.com/+TimCapper
All e-commerce sites should by now be serving their entire site through HTTPS. As with the previous section, check that your redirection is working across all pages. Some CMS may handle this for you, but double check top line, category and page level URL’s .
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)
onlineownership.com plus.google.com/+TimCapper
It’s common for retailers to have multiple pages for every product they sell. the rel=“canonical” is a tag you can place on your product pages to tell search engines which of these pages is the “canonical,” or the preferred page for that product. Using this tag gives you more control over which of your URLs Google lists in search results.
Product Canonical & Parameters
onlineownership.com plus.google.com/+TimCapper
Review blocked pages in Robots.txt file and correct any issues, this includes allowing CCS and JS. Using fetch and render in Google search console provides an insight into how Googlebot views your pages and which resources are being blocked by robots.txt. Make sure your sitemap.xml is submitted to search console and error free.
Visibility
onlineownership.com plus.google.com/+TimCapper
One of the most common mistakes is that a site has not updated their CMS versions and is not mobile responsive … slap developer! The other main error, is blocking CSS and JS in robots.txt, which invalidates your responsive design.
Mobile Friendly
onlineownership.com plus.google.com/+TimCapper
Fix internal links to any 404 pages. Review redirects are they correct ( 301 or 302 ). Check for any crawl errors, are they intended. Check 404 pages, do they have any equity, can they be redirected?
Crawl Errors & Redirects
onlineownership.com plus.google.com/+TimCapper
Use page speed insights to help diagnose where content of a web page is slowing down the display of a page. Insights also provides suggestions to help improve the page speed.
Site & Page Speed
onlineownership.com plus.google.com/+TimCapper
Fix broken or missing images. Try and provide informative file names. Images must have a Title and where possible also provide Alt Text. It provides Google with useful information about the subject matter of the image. Google will use this information to help determine the best image to return for a user's query.
Images
onlineownership.com plus.google.com/+TimCapper
This is your one shot to sell your product. Provide unique and descriptive information about your sites Pages, especially your products. You have 7 sec to make an impression to the customer, don’t blow it by not taking the time to sell the product.
Content
onlineownership.com plus.google.com/+TimCapper
Structured Data Markup ( schema ): ! for site pages ( find your best fit ) ! product markup on product pages ! review markup.
Blog ! on main domain ! provide useful and informative information for your customers.
Google Business Page ! If your business has a physical address, create a Google business page. Branding for your name that
money cant buy.
Seasonal Landing Pages ! Don’t 404 these till next season. Provide information about next seasons products, what to expect,
launch date, email alert signup.

WordPress SEO Tips
Chris Burgess
@chrisburgesschrisburgess.com.au
WordPress Basics
WordPress has evolved from:
Blog > CMS > Framework
A lot of WordPress Themes will offer SEO features
Avoid using these features, Themes are for look and feel. Lean, lightweight
themes are best. Plugins are what should be used for extra functionality.
Keep your site lean and mean
While plugins are great, don’t just
install for the sake of it! Only install
what’s critical. Regularly clean up and
deactivate any you don’t use to help
with performance.
By default, WordPress is Search Engine friendly
Headings<h1>’s and <h2>’s are often not used correctly, or as well as they could – do this stuff right and it will help!
<h1>Heading 1 = Main Heading</h1>
<h2>Heading 2 = Sub Heading </h2> <h3>Heading 3 = Sub Heading</h3>
<h2>Heading 2 = Sub Heading </h2>
Keywords/TopicsNaturally include your keyword/topic and variations of it in your page title, meta description, content and
images.
Utilising Category Pages
Utilise Category PagesUsing Yoast and WordPress category settings
https://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates
If category description is not supported by your theme you might need to include the following to display the text at the top of your category template
(usually category.php or archive.php)
<?php echo category_description( $category_id ); ?>
http://www.dandenongrangespoint.com.au/attractions/
Category Page ExampleCategory description located at top of page…
http://www.dandenongrangespoint.com.au/attractions/
Category Page Example…category blog posts then follow underneath.
Which leads us to the big Y
WordPress SEO by Yoast
All In One SEO is also very popular, but we’ll be talking about WordPress SEO by Yoast.
However, many of the same principles apply if you prefer a different plugin.

Beyond Yoast
Even though Yoast can manage the majority of SEO-related
functionality, there a few more plugins that come in handy…
The Right Tool for the Job
Don’t use WordPress for everything
Link Checking Plugins
These plugins can consume a lot of resources, they are often banned from high-end hosts.
Use Xenu, Integrity, Screaming Frog, Botify, Deep Crawler or Google Search Console
Autolinking Plugins
They can create horrible, unnatural content.
Linking is important, so control your internal and external links to help strengthen your content and
improve user experience.
Less is more
Poorly written plugins can cause performance, maintenance and security issues. Choose wisely!
Other Plugins
There are a range of other plugins that do help with SEO and I’ll cover
some popular ones now.

being able to quickly adapt.
Utilising Schema
