5 Ways to Improve Your Product Description Pages
Looking for actionable advice that can help you improve your product description pages? Here are our five best tips for optimizing your PDPs:
1. Write Descriptive, Keyword-Rich PDPs
Writing detailed product description pages that are rich in product-related keywords can help you rank your PDPs on Google, winning you highly-targeted organic traffic that converts into sales.
Caption: Product names and product descriptions should be as detailed as possible to differentiate your products and maximize the number of keywords your PDP could potentially rank for.
2. Include High-Quality Product Images
High-quality product images are probably the most important component of PDPs when it comes to driving sales. If your customers can’t see in detail what the product looks like, it’s unlikely that they will feel confident to make a purchase. Take high-resolution product images that present the product from multiple angles, showcase key features, and depict happy customers engaging with the product.
3. Implement Product Recommendations
Personalized product recommendations are one of the most powerful ways to drive overall eCommerce sales. McKinsey and Company once reported that Amazon.com was generating 35% of its revenue through its product recommendation engine.
Product recommendations drive sales by:
- Helping customers find similar/alternative products to the one they’re currently viewing. (e.g. Shopping for paper? Here are some other kinds of paper.)
- Helping customers find complementary products to one they’re about to purchase.
(e.g. Shopping for paper? You may be interested in these pencils.)
- Helping customers find products that were previously purchased by similar customers.
(e.g. Shopping for paper? Here’s what other paper-shoppers are buying.)
4. Emphasize Your CTA(s)
Emphasizing your calls to action (CTAs) is all about understanding your most important goals for customers visiting your PDPs and directing customers to those goals by making them stand out.
The most important goal for customers on a PDP is the Add to Cart/Buy Now button, which indicates the desire to purchase. Make sure these buttons appear clickable, are strategically placed and highly visible on the page, and have a unique color that draws your prospect’s attention.
5. Deploy a Conversational Chatbot
Deploying a conversational marketing chatbot on your PDPs creates a channel where your prospects can access information, ask questions, and connect with your team to support their decision-making process. In many cases, delivering a quick and helpful response to a customer inquiry on a PDP can result in an immediate sale.
