How shoppers ask

Shoppers ask for the best product for a need, for gift ideas, for alternatives to a brand they know, and for where to buy something specific. Each kind of question leans on different pages.

What tends to get cited

Answers often cite product pages with clear specs, review sites and marketplaces with customer reviews, comparison articles, gift guides, and community threads. A product page that states plainly what it is, who it suits and what it costs is easier to quote than one written in slogans.

Make product pages easy to quote

Use clear product names, specs, sizes, materials and prices, answer common questions on the page, and keep your store name and details consistent across marketplaces and your own site.

Get mentioned elsewhere

Gift guides, niche blogs, comparison articles and community threads tell answers that other people recommend you. Reviews on the sites shoppers in your category use matter too.

What to fix first

Ask a few shopper-style questions for your category with search on and note which sites are cited. Then read the ecommerce page for the fixes to start with.
