You may have heard of the four main pillars of SEO. These are content (arguably the most important), technical SEO, on-page SEO, and off-page SEO. I’m not the be-all, end-all of search engine optimization, but I might make a case that off-page SEO for eCommerce is probably the le
Economic turmoil can be both a blessing and a curse, depending on whose perspective you are adopting. For established businesses it usually means strapped margins and dwindling revenue – but for entrepreneurs, those hardships provide opportunities. The past three years are
We digital marketers tend to throw around a lot of terms and we assume everyone knows what we know. There’s actually a term for this. It’s called the “curse of knowledge.” Not to sound arrogant, but that does strike us. We assume others know what we’re talking about when we say t

We’re all in different boats, aren’t we? Some of you reading this may have just launched a content-based website or a blog with the intention of developing readership. Perhaps others that landed on this page have well-established eCommerce websites and are looking to gain a searc
You probably don’t need me to tell you that you can start driving traffic and pulling sales nearly overnight by setting up an AdWords account and launching a Google Ads PPC campaign. The value of a well-run campaign is self-evident. And the keyword in that statement is “well-run.
There’s no secret about this. One of the biggest components of our overarching eCommerce SEO game plan (for any client) is content. Obviously, blogging is a big component of SEO, as is guest posting, which is used for backlinks. We also create on-page content for key target URLs,
In the world of search engine optimization, we have a specialization called eCommerce SEO. it’s what we specialize in here at 1DigitalⓇ Agency. The cornerstones of both “regular” SEO and eCommerce SEO are really the same, and all of the same ranking factors apply, but the
Among the many different industry-specific SEO services we offer here are gardening SEO services. These we curate carefully to the needs of each of our clients, and this industry, like so many others, has a unique series of conditions surrounding it that make it a challenge. That
As marketers, we tend to throw around a lot of terms. I’ll be the first to admit I’m guilty of that. Hardly a meeting goes by in which I don’t drop “impressions,” “clicks,” “keyword rankings,” or “organic footprint” at least once. The word “organic” itself has probably become the
Across all digital ad types, including display and search, the average click-through rate is around one-half of one percent. Let that sink in for a second. That’s with the best minds in the entire digital marketing industry (highly educated marketers with pointed targeting skills

There are four main pillars of SEO, or search engine optimization. This post will deal primarily with one of them, being on-page SEO. We’ll cover what on-page SEO is, how it’s different from off-page SEO, and how to optimize for it. Let’s start with the most basic question: What
Staying competitive and relevant while delivering exceptional customer experiences are vital for business success, especially in a rapidly evolving eCommerce landscape. The thought of replatforming to a robust and feature-rich platform like BigCommerce may be outwardly daunting b
I may be a writer, but I’ve also built and launched WordPress websites – entirely from scratch. I’ve also heard a lot of things said about WordPress, some good, some not so good. But I’m no stranger to the platform and have done my share of work in the backend, so I think I
Ask almost any business owner, regardless of vertical, customer base, or the size of their operations, what their chief goal is, and most of the time, you’ll get some variant of this answer: “More sales.” That is the ultimate bottom line, isn’t it? Yet various marketing channels,
When most people think about eCommerce, their minds probably jump straight to B2C models. After all, news streams are littered with developments in AI, social media marketing, and bands that are all focused on a direct-to-consumer approach. But businesses need businesses. All mod
Open-source platforms like Magento are powerhouses that can be used to create fully-customized online stores. When it comes to eCommerce platforms, few offer the same level of raw functionality. But there’s a catch. Since the user is responsible for hosting the platform, security
There are more than 50 million fishermen and at least 15 million hunters in the United States. Similarly, one estimate claims that nearly 50 million households went camping in 2020, more than 5 million more than the year prior. I don’t have figures on rock climbing, water sports,
Digital agency services, whether in the form of digital marketing, design, or website development services, are expensive. When you need to pay for them, why, then, would you want to pay extra for separate eCommerce website support services? Well, depending on the scope of your e
