Looking for Proven Ecommerce Copywriting Strategies to Boost Rankings & Sales Every Month?

Whether you’re revamping an existing online store or building a new one, it’s possible with this practical guide to writing ecommerce websites that rank high and convert like wildfire. 

Does This Sound Like You?

“I have a fabulous-looking ecommerce site, but just can’t seem to get good rankings.”
or
“My ecommerce site ranks well, but my sales are less than impressive.”

Those are all-too-common scenarios that leave ecommerce site owners/managers in dire straits.

Problem: Since ecommerce sites are typically light on copy, they can be more difficult to rank. Yet if you make your site too content-heavy, it can compromise conversions, causing visitors to hastily click away.


The truth is that aligning high search engine rankings with favorable conversion rates requires an understanding of both SEO mechanics and basic sales psychology.

You see, search engines like Google are copy-hungry machines. They base your rankings almost exclusively on text elements, from your title and description tags to your product copy.

Solution: How do you strike that delicate balance between pleasing the search engines while inspiring your visitors to click the buy button again and again?

  • How to hand-pick the best list of phrases for which you want to be found
  • How to easily determine which keyphrases should appear on what pages of your site for best results
  • What long-tail keywords are and exactly when/how they should be used

Chapter 3: Writing Impressive Copy for Every Stage of the Sale

If you’re a reseller of other companies’ products, you need to offer compelling reasons why visitors should purchase from you—instead of the hundreds or thousands of other ecommerce sites they have access to. Not only that; you must also build trust and credibility and reduce friction in the buying process before people will trust you with their hard-earned dollars.


Discover how to write ultra-persuasive copy for every step of the sales process that moves your visitors swiftly towards the sale including:


  • When to use graphics and when to use text on your home page

  • How to make your company the obvious choice in a sea of competition
  • How to write engaging, keyword-rich category pages that turn casual browsers into cash-paying customers

Discover the truth about duplicate content and get clarity on this very gray area of SEO including:


  • How duplicate content is really defined (according to Google, it’s not a penalty)
  • Why duplicate content is not the rankings-killer people assume it to be (hint: Google won't ban your site forever if you use it)

Chapter 5: Building Confidence & Reducing Friction So Visitors Buy More

You’ll find out how to create policies (shipping and delivery, returns, privacy) that make your customers feel safe and secure so they open their wallets more freely.

Chapter 6: Turning Site Pages into Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Landing Pages

Many website owners make the critical mistake of thinking that a regular product or category page is automatically a good landing page for PPC. This is unequivocally false! A PPC landing page must have very specific attributes in order to build customer trust and increase conversions. In this chapter, you’ll find out exactly what these attributes are, and also:


  • How to avoid the deadline disconnect between PPC ads and landing pages that kills conversions
  • How to incorporate design elements into your landing page to boost credibility and capture visitors' attention

Once you incorporate these elements, you’ll have a ready-made template for successful landing pages for all of your PPC campaigns (AdWords, Facebook or others)!

Introducing products or services related to those the shopper is buying gives you yet another way to earn more revenue from your ecommerce site with very little effort. Cross-selling and up-selling have a number of benefits including:

Frequently Asked Questions


“What specifically can this ebook help me improve?”


With the insights shared in “Ecommerce Copywriting: Proven Strategies for Boosting Sales & Search Rankings” you’ll find specific methods to help you get more of your site pages listed in Google. This will draw more qualified buyers to your site. In addition, you’ll see exactly how to create product descriptions, category page descriptions and other vital copy elements that entice more people to buy. On top of that, you’ll find out how to use strategies like upselling and cross-selling to get more revenue from the same number of visitors.


“I just use the copy the manufacturers provide so I don’t really need this ebook, do I?”


Actually, using the same copy that manufacturers offer can confuse your visitors and train them to buy based solely on price. That’s because the manufacturers also allow thousands of other sites to use the exact same copy. It makes it very difficult for your potential customers to choose you because your site doesn’t appear to be very unique. However, with a few tricks I show you, you can use manufacturer copy and not destroy your conversion rates.


“I’m having a big problem with getting people to buy on my site. They find me in the search engines, but they don’t purchase from me very often. Can this ebook help?”


One of the biggest and most deadly problems ecommerce resellers face is not differentiating themselves from the thousands of others that sell the same products. When the only thing your visitors have to base a decision on is price, they naturally start shopping for the lowest and buy from that source. Once you discover how to set your site apart from the competition, yours will naturally be seen as the obvious choice for shoppers to buy from.

“Although I thought that I knew a lot of what Karon covered in her course, I quickly found out that this was not the case. Each chapter contained valuable information and was easy to understand. (I found her worksheets at the end of each chapter very useful). The manner in which she presented her material left a lot of “food for thought” in moving forward with ideas for implementation on one's own website. I also found that the real world examples additionally helped to clarify the subject matter and enhanced Karon's tips and suggestions as well. 


It was very evident in Chapter 5 (Duplicate content) that Karon's take on this subject was right in line with what Matt Cutts of Google had to say in his videos. 


I thoroughly enjoyed Karon's “Ecommerce Copywriting” course and would highly recommend it for all website owners, whether they are just starting out or experienced. There is so much useful information to be gleaned from each and every chapter. I look forward to implementing these suggestions with the expectation of ultimately gaining more conversions and higher rankings. Once again, many thanks, Karon!
