Just because a company is selling a niche product it doesn’t mean that the seller won’t face strong competition from other sellers. Selling products in highly competitive niche areas comes with some specific challenges and ultimately SEO is still just as important for selling and conversions. There are some specific and some more general SEO strategies that can make selling in niche product markets more effective. Using long-tail keywords and really understanding user intent, rather than competing for generic keywords can be more effective in attracting the right kind of buyers. Optimizing product descriptions for SEO and conversions, focusing on what makes the product unique, like features, benefits, and how it matches with user intent. Bullet points can be a great way to format this in order to display these selling points, but be sure to avoid keyword stuffing. Convenience is extremely important for the customer experience and for achieving conversions, so it is important to have a user friendly products page. Fast loading speeds on the products page will help lower your bounce rate. Mobile traffic is most common currently, so optimizing for mobile traffic, such as making sure buttons can easily be clicked and are not too close together, is key for increasing conversions, and having a mobile friendly website is a healthy SEO habit to begin with. As with most SEO, user reviews and rating are a great way to increase the ranking and improve the sellers reputation and instill trust in buyers. If applicable, steps to optimize for local SEO should be taken. There is much that can and should be done when selling niche products online, and it is always crucial to keep up with competition and stay on top of SEO. Ultimately, it is key to remember that the goal is to discern user intent, and to meet the needs or “pain” that users are trying to solve.
