If the URL reflects the content of the page, you\u2019re good to go.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Length<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Try to generally keep it shorter so people will be able to copy\/paste it without the link messing up their whole emails.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Keywords Use<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Try to include the specific phrase in the URL. E.g. what your product is, just don\u2019t overuse it.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hyphens<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The best way to separate SEO text in the URL is through hyphens (-) because not all browsers see some signs like underscores. Better safe than sorry!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, simply the title of the article works. As long as it\u2019s not too long.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Backlinks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Backlinks are created when one site links to another, and they\u2019re just as, if not equally important as keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, by linking to another place, you are signaling to Google that you trust that place and provide a recommendation. Now, you might be thinking, the more backlinks the better, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, not quite. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class=\"tip_box ibblue\" style=\"\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/backlinks-effectiveness-page-location\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all backlinks are created equally<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When building backlinks, (by getting featured on other <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/blogging-has-never-been-easier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blogs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for example) you need to keep in mind where those backlinks are coming from. The more reputable and trusted their domain is &#8211; the better. This is why buying cheap backlinks from Fiverr isn\u2019t recommended, as tempting as it may seem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the above concepts are only the tip of the iceberg.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re starting off, the best place to get acquainted with SEO is probably the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/beginners-guide-to-seo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MOZ SEO Beginner Guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Then make sure it is SEO optimized.<\/p>\n<p>Another important thing about product descriptions is the copy, a.k.a. sales through text.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to sell through words, here&#8217;s what you do:<\/p>\n<h3>2.4 Convert features to benefits<\/h3>\n<p><strong>People don&#8217;t buy drills. They buy holes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is an ancient marketing and copywriting tactic. And for a good reason: it works.<\/p>\n<p>Think like a customer. Don&#8217;t focus on what you&#8217;re selling, but rather, what it means to them (i.e. holes, not drills).<\/p>\n<p>The way this works is you&#8217;re basically converting features to benefits. So, instead of selling the specific product, you&#8217;re selling how the said product will improve their life.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you do:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Create a fact sheet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Take a piece of paper (or a word document) and list as many facts about the product as possible.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11772\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SEO-Product-Descriptions-Creating-a-Fact-Sheet-1.jpg?resize=600%2C349&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"SEO-Product-Descriptions-Creating-a-Fact-Sheet\" width=\"600\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SEO-Product-Descriptions-Creating-a-Fact-Sheet-1.jpg?resize=600%2C349&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SEO-Product-Descriptions-Creating-a-Fact-Sheet-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C596&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SEO-Product-Descriptions-Creating-a-Fact-Sheet-1.jpg?w=1380&amp;ssl=1 1380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SEO-Product-Descriptions-Creating-a-Fact-Sheet-1.jpg?w=2070&amp;ssl=1 2070w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how long it turns out, as long as you get to know the ins and the outs of your product.<\/p>\n<p>No one will see this, so, don&#8217;t worry. Don&#8217;t hold back. Positive facts, negative, everything goes here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Create a benefits list.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, start going over the above fact sheet and transforming them to benefits where possible.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tip_box ibblue\" style=\"\">A fact is what the product is like. A benefit is what the product will do to your customer.<\/div>\n<p>Of course, not every fact will be a positive one. So, not every fact will translate into a benefit. This is why you should try and list as many facts about the product as possible first.<\/p>\n<p>The facts that do transform into benefits, however, go on your description page.<\/p>\n<p>As for the ones that aren&#8217;t positive and can&#8217;t spin them into a benefit &#8211; feel free to cross them out. Ideally, your fact sheet should have up to hundreds of facts about the products, so, don&#8217;t worry about crossing some of them out.<\/p>\n<p>And your imagination is the limit here when writing. For example is your product bright red? Perhaps it will help your customers stand out and receive compliments. Don&#8217;t be afraid to try and spin a seemingly obvious fact about your product into a benefit.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get a better sense of how this works and brush up on your copywriting skills, check out how the &#8220;best copy writer alive&#8221; Gary Halbert does it in his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegaryhalbertletter.com\/newsletters\/zgkl_best_copywriter.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>2.5 AIDA<\/h3>\n<p>This is another common copywriting formula that you can apply to everything from email and content marketing to eCommerce.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s so great about is it that, if done well, it can guide your customers through the whole purchasing process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is AIDA?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AIDA stands for:<\/p>\n<p>A &#8211; <strong>Awareness<\/strong> (or attention)<\/p>\n<p>I &#8211; <strong>Interest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>D &#8211; <strong>Desire<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A &#8211; <strong>Action<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And if used well, you can guide consumers through the whole experience funnel with this simple, yet effective, formula.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11774 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SEO-Product-Descriptions-AIDA-Funnel.jpg?resize=690%2C460&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"SEO-Product-Descriptions-AIDA-Funnel\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SEO-Product-Descriptions-AIDA-Funnel.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SEO-Product-Descriptions-AIDA-Funnel.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SEO-Product-Descriptions-AIDA-Funnel.jpg?w=1380&amp;ssl=1 1380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.invoiceberry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SEO-Product-Descriptions-AIDA-Funnel.jpg?w=2070&amp;ssl=1 2070w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how you can use AIDA in your product descriptions:<\/p>\n<p>First, you grab their attention, you hold onto it and get them engaged or excited enough to continue reading.

It only takes about 5 seconds for them to decide if this was indeed what they were looking for or to click away.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you&#8217;re page it too distracting and has too much extra information &#8211; you&#8217;ll probably lose them.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, focus on figuring out your target market and audience, making use of visuals, and generating eye-catching headlines and titles.<\/p>\n<p>A few things you should ask yourself when on this step:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Who is going to read this? What is their gender? Location? Family status? So on. The more in tune you are with your buyer persona &#8211; the better.<\/li>\n<li>What is their biggest problem regarding the product? How does it keep them up at night?<\/li>\n<li>What is the solution? How are you going to solve the above problem?<\/li>\n<li>How does your audience talk about their problems?
