Why SEO is hard here

Huge catalogues, thin pages

Thousands of products with a part number and a price give search engines little to work with.

Specs and part numbers matter

Buyers search exact specifications, so missing details mean missed searches.

Prices behind a login

Trade pricing is often hidden, which leaves pages with less to show.

A B2B e-commerce SEO playbook

Trade buyers search with precision: a part number, a material, a size, a quantity. They also search for suppliers they can rely on. B2B e-commerce SEO means making every product findable by its specs and showing buyers why you're the supplier to order from.

Specs in titles and text

A buyer searching 'M8 hex bolt zinc plated' wants that exact product. Titles and descriptions that include size, material, standard and part number match those searches. Across a large catalogue it's a pattern job, and the weekly fixes handle it.

Categories by application

Buyers also search for what they need something for: 'food grade packaging', 'gloves for chemical handling'. Category pages written around applications reach buyers who don't know your product names yet.

Answer the supplier questions

Minimum orders, lead times, samples, delivery areas and trade accounts are what buyers check before they get in touch. A clear page for each, linked from product pages, wins the enquiry.

Keep a large catalogue healthy

Discontinued lines, duplicate titles and slow category pages add up fast. The site audit finds them every week, most important pages first.

Measuring B2B e-commerce SEO

Track quote requests, trade account sign-ups and orders by landing page. A handful of category pages often bring most of the new accounts.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can SEO work if prices are behind a login?

Yes. Product and category pages can rank on specs, applications and availability. Show what you can publicly, and make the trade account step clear.

Do manufacturers fit here too?

Yes. Manufacturers selling to trade buyers are searched the same way: by product, spec and application, plus 'manufacturer' or 'supplier'.

Should we publish spec sheets as PDFs?

Keep them, but put the key specs on the product page as text too. Search engines and buyers both find text pages more easily than PDFs.

What about selling in several countries?

Sojig plans content per market and language, so a distributor selling in Germany and Spain gets pages written for each.
