This chapter is part of our hub: Ultimate Guide to SEO for eCommerce. Link both ways for stronger internal linking. 🔗

💡 Why On-Page SEO Matters (Especially for Stores)

• 🎯 Matches search intent: “best inverter AC Nepal” → category; “LG 260L double door fridge price” → product.

• 🛒 Boosts conversions: Titles, FAQs, delivery info, and trust signals reduce hesitation.

• ⚙️ Scales cleanly: Good templates + rules let you optimize hundreds of SKUs.

🛍️ Optimize Product Pages (Step-by-Step)

1️⃣ Title Tag (55–60 chars)
Formula: {Brand} {Model} {Key Spec} — Price in Nepal | {Store}
Example: LG 260L Double Door Refrigerator — Price in Nepal | CG Digital

2️⃣ H1 (On-Page Headline)
Natural and close to the title.
Example: LG 260L Double Door Refrigerator (Smart Inverter, Frost-Free)

3️⃣ URL Slug (Clean & Descriptive)
/refrigerators/lg-260l-double-door-refrigerator/

4️⃣ Meta Description (~150 chars)
“Buy LG 260L Double Door Refrigerator in Nepal. Smart Inverter, frost-free, energy efficient. Fast delivery & official warranty from CG Digital.”

5️⃣ Primary Copy (150–300 words)
Tell a mini story before specs: who it’s for, benefits, differentiators, delivery/warranty.
Snippet:
“Perfect for small to mid-size families, the LG 260L Double Door Refrigerator delivers frost-free cooling and quiet Smart Inverter performance. Enjoy toughened glass shelves, even airflow, and official CG Digital warranty with Kathmandu-wide delivery.”

6️⃣ Specs Table (Scannable HTML)
Make it selectable text (not images) so Google can read it.

7️⃣ Images & Media

• 🖼️ Use WebP/AVIF, ~1200px longest side.

• 🏷️ File name: lg-260l-double-door-refrigerator-front.webp

• 🔎 Alt: LG 260L double door refrigerator front view

• 🎥 Short product video if possible (add VideoObject schema later).

8️⃣ Price, Availability & Trust
Show price, stock, EMI/installation, warranty, returns, delivery zones above the fold.

9️⃣ Internal Linking

• ⬆️ Back to subcategory and category

• 🔁 Related Products block

• 📚 From relevant guides to this product

🔟 Product FAQs (3–5 Qs)

• Delivery time?

• Installation included?

• Energy usage?

• Warranty details?
  Use Easy Accordion for display + JSON-LD for rich results.

1️⃣1️⃣ Product Schema (JSON-LD)
Include Product, Offer (price/currency/availability), Brand, and AggregateRating (if real reviews). Keep BreadcrumbList sitewide.

🗂️ Optimize Category Pages (Step-by-Step)

1️⃣ Title Tag
Double Door Refrigerators — Price in Nepal | CG Digital

2️⃣ H1
Double Door Refrigerators in Nepal

3️⃣ Intro Copy (80–150 words)
Who it’s for, core benefits, how to use filters.
“Shop energy-efficient double door fridges for 3–5 member families. Compare inverter models, capacity, and star ratings. Filter by brand, size, and delivery across Nepal.”

4️⃣ Faceted Navigation (SEO-Safe)

• Keep main category indexable.

• Most deep filter combos: set canonical to main category or a curated SEO landing (e.g., “LG Double Door Refrigerators”) if it has search demand.

• Consider noindex, follow on deep combinations.

5️⃣ Pagination

• Self-referencing canonical on each page.

• Infinite scroll? Use Load More + history API (and ensure links exist for crawlers).

6️⃣ Internal Linking Blocks

• ⭐ Popular Brands: LG, Samsung, CG

• 📏 Top Capacities

• 📚 Guides: “How to choose the right refrigerator for your family”

7️⃣ Structured Data
Optional ItemList for listings + global BreadcrumbList. Product tiles should link to pages with Product schema.

🧩 Duplicate Content & Variants (Handle with Care)

• 🎨 Color/finish variants: If only color changes, canonicalize to one main URL. If capacity/specs differ meaningfully, keep separate pages.

• 🏷️ Manufacturer copy: Don’t paste as-is—add local delivery, warranty, and usage context.

• 🔁 Brand vs Category pages: Ensure distinct keyword targets to avoid cannibalization (e.g., “LG Refrigerators” ≠ “Double Door Refrigerators”).

📱 Mobile UX & Performance (Google Signals)

• ⚡ Core Web Vitals: Fast LCP, responsive INP, stable CLS.

• 🖼️ Lazy-load below-the-fold images; compress assets.

• 📌 Sticky CTA (Add to Cart/Buy Now) on mobile.

🔗 Internal Linking That Stacks Rankings

• 🧱 Pillar → Category

• 🪜 Category → Subcategory → Product

• 🧭 Blog Guides → Category/Product (use varied commercial anchors)

• 🔄 Product → Related/Accessories/Category
