3. Review your product pages

Are all your product pages doing the business? To find out which are your best and worst performing items, take the time to review your sales history. Then either see what you can to improve the underperforming product pages (for example are you using good quality images and is the product description sufficient), or declutter your ecommerce site by discontinuing any products which are not generating sufficient revenue.

4. Showcase your most popular products

Give your most popular items pride of place and make it easy for your customers to find what they are looking for. By featuring sought after items on your homepage and dedicated product type webpages, you will not only increase your conversion rate but also help to keep your content fresh and up to date.
