Sitemap. Better positioning of the store in 5 minutes.
19/09/2019
Sales through page ranking of the store consists of several important steps that should be taken into account if we want to effectively increase the number of visitors to the page. Most people focus on improving the ranking, but sometimes the key role is to improve the number of pages read by Google.
One of the simple methods of improving the number of pages read is to update the sitemap page. Just go to the store panel and generate the current map.
For pages containing up to 10,000 subpages (products), an average of 78% of them are analyzed. The remaining 22% are not taken into account in the search results. In addition, about 45% of all pages are visited by people using search (source: Search Engine Journal & Botify - 2019).
The more subpages there are, the smaller the percentage of analyzed pages, as search engines index millions of pages every day and a certain limit is allocated to each of them.
