Zen Cart SEO Optimization

There is a lot to be said and studied about search engine optimization. Search engine optimization for a Zen cart Ecommerce site has to be as specialized to meet the needs of that cart and what is offered on it. You have to know how to do that from the back end of the Zen cart by installing the proper sitemap and RSS mods as well as the social network modules and much more. SEO is not about how many non relevant directories you can submit the main home page or main domain name too. It is about how well your individual Zen cart is optimized and what if any roadblocks are on that cart that could cause it to me stagnant or have low visibility in search engines.

You do not want to ignore the basic importance of what you put on your individual Zen cart that may hinder its search engine indexing ability. Worst yet what you did not put inside that Zen cart to increase its visibility in search. What you do not know about search engine optimization of a Zen cart can indeed hurt you in search indexing. In fact the absolute worst thing you can do to your business is try to submit it to various directories, social networks, and do everything you can to get that domain out there when you site is not only poorly optimized but totally customer unfriendly. The last thing you need happening to your online business is to draw attention to a poorly optimized and customer unfriendly site.

We have to focus on the potential ability to get all the pages indexing specific to knowledge of who that target buyer is. We are not focusing on how many times one word called a "keyword" is found in search. We are focused on how many and what keywords are used by the target buyer who wants your stuff. If they are looking for what you have for sale on your site, then we want them to know exactly what page and where to find that by doing specific SEO in your Zen cart to get that product listing indexing with specific keyword rich titles and descriptions. We also have to know how search engines work and what doesn't get indexed in titles and descriptions and how to fix that. If we put those keywords into search and we can not find your site, we know that we are not fully optimizing the potential of your Zen cart.

We NEVER submit a Zen cart home page main domain to a bunch of useless directories that are non relevant to the actual target buyer. We also never try to index a poorly optimized site to any search engine. Alana's goal is to work from the inside out. This means a full assessment of the things that she knows will affect the potential buyer experience when landing on your site. Focus is centered towards the content in product listings, category content and category meta tags, home page content and meta tags, installation of a good robots txt file to direct the search engines to what you want indexed. Sitemap installation for Zen cart is included to submit from the back end of your cart to the major search engines an updated ongoing version of your site products, articles and more. RSS feeds module is installed into your specific Zen cart that will give you your own individual URL to feed many shopping directories and social networks, policy pages and about us pages are checked to be more professional and build trust in potential customers. And yes they do check your about us pages for that reason. They want to know how long you have been in business and what position you are in and this all improves the customer experience and sales. This is not the place to discuss your kids and grand kids, this is a business and you need to discuss kids and grand kids on facebook not your business site where your expertise is essential in what you offer on that site.

Our goal is to make your site attractive, safe and trustworthy as well as target buyer focused with a variety of pages indexing in search engines that will allow a potential buyer to search for a specific item and not only land on your home page but that specific category or product. This saves time and builds trust as well as allows the shopper to be directed to exactly what they want. In this fast paced world online that is vital. There is far too much on the wide web to not be targeting specific pages and products to link out there to exactly what the buyer is searching for.

Hosting Services

Alana has invested a lot of time and work in having her own dedicated server with a reputable hosting company that provides complete full management on a dedicated server 5.3 PHP. Maybe having your own Cpanel that is fully transferable if you needed to move to another server doesn't mean a whole lot when you first sign up for a hosting account. Maybe having a Cpanel over not having a Cpanel doesn't make sense to you at the time that you sign up for a host. Perhaps bandwidth and disc space may simply be something you don't think you need to understand when signing up with a hosting company. Sometimes new online business owners think "cheap" hosting means that the host company will meet all their individual Zen cart needs. This is not true and many of your more well known larger companies don't do that either. Some of them include programmers that will charge you by the hour at a starting rate of $75 or more to look at your Zen cart. Most of these programmers have probably not spent nine years working a Zen cart or specializing in Zen cart related functionality, but they will certainly try to offer you some help if that host has paid programmers on staff. What most host will provide you is a rented space that you can add your site too so it is visible online. It is often assumed by the host company that you got the rest of this all figured out and all you really need is to have a rented space to put your site on. What gets to be extra cost to you is what you do not know in the future. Zen cart upgrades, modules installs, technical issues, layout issues, and more. As a matter of fact Alana has encountered so many clients who have Zen carts and don't even know how to list product or do much of anything from the admin of the cart which is meant to be fully functional daily activities that the Zen cart owner should know how to manage. Alana has even encountered a client who simply had a Zen cart that never sold anything and when he finally got the site optimized he did not even know how to login to his admin and process an order. So many potential buyers are not choosing a shopping cart with the awareness needed to run it and hosting it anywhere is not going to fix that issue. Alana's hosting provides inside training specialized services that are built in and included in the monthly pricing of the hosting packages she offers.
