SEO Techniques in Magento

1. First, make sure you have installed the latest version of Magento.

2. Then, go to this path: System => Configuration => Web => Search Engines Optimization

In the “URL Options” menu, set the “Add Store Code to URLS” option to “No” so that store codes are not added to URLs.
In the “Search Engine Optimization” menu, set the “Server URL Rewrites” option to “Yes” to remove “index.php” from your URLs and generate more search engine friendly and readable URLs.

3. Go to this path:

System => Configuration => Design => HTML Heads

Change the “Default Robots” setting to “INDEX, FOLLOW” so that search engines can index your website and show it in search results.
In the “Default Title” and “Default Description” boxes, write the default title and description that you want your pages to have just in case you forget to write a title and description when creating a page. This will ensure that no page has blank information, which would make it more difficult to index.

4. Make sure your e-store is directly available to search engines by creating a “robots.txt” file containing commands that direct search engines to the URLs you want to appear in search engine results and also indicates which you don’t want to appear. Here’s a link to a good article that explains how to create this file and how to write commands in it.

5. Make sure you write good descriptions for your new categories, products, and pages that include several words, so that search engines can accurately reveal those pages when potential customers shop for related ideas or items.

6. To avoid duplications in URLs, go to this path:

System => Configuration => Catalog => Search Engine Optimization

7. To prevent Magento from generating duplicate content when you want to show the same product in multiple categories, set both “Canonical Link Meta Tag” fields to “Yes” on that same page,

8. You can also use category and product images to attract visits from search engines to your e-store by doing the following:

Use meaningful names for your images, i.e. “sony-lcd-television-42inch-black.jpg” instead of “photo234.jpg”.

When adding an image of a product, write a meaningful description to be used as the “title” and “alt tag” for the given image, i.e. “Sony Vaio Laptop,”

9. When adding a category, a product, or page, create a “URL Key” so that your e-store URLs become more search engine friendly,

10. To help Google index your site, generate a Google Sitemap automatically by going to this path:

System => Configuration => Google Sitemap

In the “Generation Settings” box, enable sitemap generation and change its frequency according to your e-store update frequency. This will allow Google to get your site’s most up-to-date sitemap that includes all new items.

You can also modify sitemap settings upon adding a new category, product, or page, so that your sitemap includes all of your new items,

11. You can also easily add a “Google Webmaster Tools verification tag” in Magento by going to this path:

System => Configuration => Design => HTML Heads

Put your “Google Webmaster Tools verification tag” in the “Miscellaneous Scripts” box

12. Enable “Google Analytics” by going to this path: System => Configuration => Google API

Set “Enable option” to “Yes” and type your Account Number in the box
