2/ Pamper the meta description of the product sheet
Google has again recently reaffirmed that meta-description influences the natural referencing of web pages. It is also, if not above all, an effective way to attract clicks. To promote the natural referencing of the product sheet and boost the traffic on the site, the meta description should :

7/ Use the product sheet to give advice
With the development of voice searches, Google is increasingly valuing e-commerce sites that answer users' questions. A "Tips" section added to each product sheet therefore has real assets. It effectively provides visitors with reassuring information that encourages conversion. The tips also help to position the product sheet on the questions most frequently asked to Google.
In the same way, e-commerce pages that detail the composition of the product improve their SEO.
