With a focus on creativity and data-driven results, they help clients achieve their marketing goals effectively. Yesterday, Eric and I talked about the power of search experience optimization. Today we're going to continue our conversation by discussing tactics to compete with an e-commerce retail competition. Okay, here's my conversation with Eric Hoover, the SEO director at Jellyfish. Eric, welcome back to the show. Hi, nice to be back. Great. So yesterday we went through a ton of material on a really important topic, which is how you build your online page experience to really drive search experience optimization.
We covered concepts of brand awareness. We covered realities around how you can have better coverage in the CERP. We really unpacked what UX And page experience expectations we should be investing in to drive better conversion and business KPIs. But we've really kind of unpacked a lot about where the landscape is going and how our listeners should better utilize their UX and design tactics to help drive better results. If you didn't catch that episode, please go back to yesterday's episode. Eric did a phenomenal job sharing some examples of his past work. Within that show. But today we're going into e commerce and where e commerce is going in the competition here. Eric, I'm gonna ask you a hard question right off the bat.
I'm sorry. But does e commerce SEO really exist? Is this just all ads at this point? Like where where is the landscape for organic, nonpaid e commerce?
So yeah, it's it's in there. It's somewhere. Um what what it really comes down to, I mean, obviously, yeah, you go on Google, you search for a pair of like Hoka running shoes and you get, you know, the big banner of sponsored sponsored ads. Disclaimer, Hoka's one of my clients. Hoka, I hope it's okay that I said that. Um and they're all and they're awesome. But you know, once it com when it comes to the organic positioning of that, it is is you know you've got your paid results, and then under that, even before your traditional organic results, a lot of times you have that secondary block of popular products, related products. Google has changed the name of that element multiple times over the last year.
Mm. But that is where you get your sort of organic visibility from that feed. The caveat to that, or I guess sort of pitfall to that, is, you know, your website, your brand will r rank in there if you have your organic listings uh up and running on Merchant Center. But so will other w e retailers. So for the Hoka example, you know, we come across, you know, partners that that the brand has, Dick Sporting Goods, REI, and that's that's great. You know, at the end of the day, Hoka gets the money no matter where the person shops, I suppose. So that's That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but that is where we try to focus on kind of perfecting and tweaking on the organic presence. And, you know, while there's some content focused SEO around that within the actual shopping feed, making tweaks and optimizations, making sure you know the product listings page on the website is optimized, it really comes down to two things.
It's a more of a technical play. So making sure that you're working with the shopping team or with the paid media team that's running the feed, ensuring that all the elements are switched
