Content marketing is a great way to drive traffic through SEO. The key is to focus on content that will attract your ideal customer, particularly if based on how they search.

For example, let’s say that you are selling dog products. Since you are targeting dog owners,  there is a variety of content you can post that your potential customers will be searching on. Then, as a result, they will hopefully stumble upon your online shop via your blog posts.

You can find ideas for blog posts based on using Google’s auto-complete feature. You start by typing in “dogs”, “French bulldogs”, “dog lovers” etc., and see what longer search phrases come up. This is a good way to determine potential blog titles and content.

  • 5 Awesome Monthly Subscription Boxes for Pet Owners
  • 8 Boston Terrier Puppy Training Tips
  • 20 Male Dog Names & Their Meaning
  • 12 Non-Shedding Dog Breeds
  • 10 of the Cutest Puppy Videos on YouTube

You do not always have to write original content, you can curate content for your blog as long as you give credit to the original source.

Now, because you are primarily an e-commerce site and not a blogger by trade, you just have to post once a week. For a pet store, you may want to make it on #WoofWednesday. The point is, the optimized content stays around for years bringing you a constant and steady stream of traffic.

You can also upsell your products within your blog posts, much like I do here 🙂

By the way, you need an SEO optimized blog post written for your ecommerce blog, I do offer this service.
