Great content and keywords alone will not get you top search engine rankings. Your Miva Merchant store must be customized to cater to search engines to get optimal rankings. All the time, effort and money you spent on keyword research to maximize your organic search engine listing may be futile if the search engines cannot decipher your main keywords from your supporting content. If the search engines do not know what the image on your product page is then it will not show up in search engine listings.
The fact is that straight out of the box Miva Merchant is not completely optimized for search engines. For optimal search engine listing results then this service is an absolute must.
We do not use any tricks or information that is not readily available to you. We simply apply SEO basics and fundamentals to your store.
If you have good content but your web pages are still not ranking as well as you believe they should then the problem is most likely the structure of your Miva Merchant store pages. The Miva SEO tune up will make sure your category, product and storefront pages are dynamically generated and displayed with the best possible SEO fundamentals in place. If you already rank well the tune up should help you rank even further.
There are several SEO fundamentals that every web page must have in order to be ranked by top search engines appropriately. The most fundamental and important rule of SEO according to any expert is good, accurate, and unique content. Most of the other SEO fundamentals support the content of the page and is contained within the source code of the page which is why many times it is so hard to pin point why your competitor’s pages come up higher than yours in search engines.
Though we do not guarantee that your search engine results will get better it is very likely
