What Are the Pro Tips for the Spring Season 2020?

1. The e-commerce industry has to be well prepared for the increased interest in products related to the change of the season. We recommend that you carefully look at the optimization of the content of individual product categories and supplement the content with phrases related to spring e.g. “spring shoes”, “spring dresses” etc.
2. The changing of the season is the perfect time to use the blog as a source of building organic traffic. We encourage you to create guide books that relate to current fashion trends. Blog articles should include “question keywords” such as, “What’s in fashion spring 2020?”, “How to design a garden?” etc.
3. If you run an e-commerce website, make sure you have proper internal linking between spring categories. It is worth using modules such as “You may also be interested in […]”, from where we can derive links to similar categories or categories. Articles on your blog are also a great source of links, so don’t forget to add relevant links to the categories to which their content refers.
4. Have you heard of Google’s announcement regarding Mobile-First Indexing? That is a big thing. So if your website is not adapted to mobile, take care of its mobile version in the nearest future. For example, make sure that the content is displayed the same on both desktop and mobile versions. 
5. Track current changes in Google’s algorithm and work on ongoing adaptation of your website to the guidelines.
