Let zoom in on two issues that pop up frequently, but you can solve, without being an expert. With a better search result as reward
Inform search engines about WooCommerce Hair Store images
Search engines like Google, cannot see what is on an image. They can not see your Vietnamese Body Wave Closure. Search engines use the context of the text around the image. Plus the name of the image and the so-called alt text to interpret what is on the image. The search engines are good in this, but you can help them of course. Make sure Google or Bing can find all the information, they need to understand the content of the image. This way you increase the changes people searching for Vietnamese Body Wave Closure will find this in your WooCommerce hair store! But if your store has over 50 or 200 or more images, it is not that easy to see what images are missing this information.
Sell Hair on Your WooCommerce store
As a general rule, search engines do not interpret the content of image files. The text provided in the <img alt> attribute enables the site owner to provide relevant information to the search engine and to the end user. Alt text is helpful to end users if they have images disabled or if the image does not properly load. In addition, the Alt text is utilized by screen readers. Make sure that your Alt text is descriptive and accurately reflects what the image represents and supports the content on the page.]
Check if your hair is unique
When you sell hair on WooCommerce you sell various variances. For example, a bundle of Brazilian hair, in straight, Body Wave, Curly, Water Wave and Kinky Curly. You can copy the product page of the straight hair and rename the text for the other textures. When you have 100 or more products to offer, you need to be efficient to make it work. This works fast, but you could forget to change the title of the page with the hair. The most important header of any web page is the so called <h1> header. This is the header the search engines are looking for. It is on their checklist so to say, like the alt text for the images.
When you duplicated one or more pages of your WooCommerce pages, you can work faster. But you also might forget to change the main header. It is possible on one page there are more <h1> headers, and that is confusing for the search engines. Like reading a book and find two titles of the chapter.
These pages have more than one <h1> tag. Multiple <h1> header tags might confuse search engine bots and website’s users. It is recommended to use only one <h1> tag per page.]
There is more
It is possible you will see on the SEO report more issues that make it difficult for the search engines to understand what you are trying to offer on that page. The tool has a clear explanation and provides guidance to tackle all the issues. If you make a habit to check the report on a regular basis, you can improve the quality of your WooCommerce webstore every time you work on one of the issues. This will help you rank better on Google and Bing, and thus gives more clients and hair sales!
