The Ultimate Faire SEO Guide: 5 Ways to Boost Sales by Optimising Listings
If you’ve been navigating the world of Faire and trying to optimise your product listings, you’re in the right place. In this post, we’re diving into the ultimate Faire SEO guide. You’ll learn everything you need to know to set up your listings, research the right keywords, and utilise helpful tools and templates to make your life a whole lot easier.
This guide comes from years of hard work across hundreds of product listings, from our own bamboo sock business on Faire marketplace to helping hundreds of clients manage their B2B wholesale operations through Candid Founders. We’ve learned a ton along the way, and we’re excited to share everything that’s made our SEO process a success!
Step 1: Understand SEO Basics for Faire
SEO on Faire wholesale marketplace is all about understanding what your customers and their customers are searching for when they’re looking for products. It’s about more than just ranking; it’s about connecting with potential buyers by using the language they understand.
The key to success is asking, “What are customers trying to achieve, and how can my product help them?” If you keep that in mind as you move through this guide, you’ll be well on your way.
Step 2: Crafting Best-in-Class Product Titles and Descriptions
Your product title is the first thing potential buyers will see when they search for products related to yours. You’ve got a small amount of space (60 characters) to make an impression, so it’s essential to make every word count. Here’s what we’ve found works for the Faire algorithm:
- Repeat your key product categories and relevant keywords.
For example, our Alpaca Socks title includes keywords like "bamboo socks," "grey socks," and "animal socks" to capture a variety of search terms. So whether you sell greeting cards, jewellery, or candles, think about your own products and use similar keywords that reflect what your customers are likely to search for.
- Your product description is equally important and should follow a simple structure to maximise impact:
(a) Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP): What makes your product stand out? For our bamboo socks, it’s the fact that we donate 10% of profits to animal conservation charities.
(b) Product Information: What are the key features of the product? For socks, we highlight their thermo-regulating properties and softness.
(c) About Your Business: Add a personal touch by describing your company and its mission. This helps customers connect with you beyond just the product.
(d) Product Collection: Mention collections or themes to link related products together. For instance, if you have a Wildlife Collection of socks, note that here.
(e) Considerations: What else might customers be searching for? For socks, we include tags like “novelty socks,” “gifts for her,” and “eco-friendly socks.”
By following this structure, you’ll hit all the right areas and make your listings more appealing to customers.
Step 3: Finding the Right Keywords
So where do you find the right Faire ecommerce keywords to use in your titles and descriptions? Let’s break it down:
- Look at What’s Already Working for You: Start with your own online store or other marketplaces like Etsy and Amazon. What keywords are driving traffic? This gives you an immediate idea of what’s working for your brand.
- Competitor Research: Take a look at what your competitors are doing. Browse their listings across platforms like Faire, Amazon, and Etsy. What keywords are they using? You can get some great insights here.
Step 4: The Faire SEO Template
After years of refining our process, we’ve developed the Ultimate Faire SEO Template that makes managing listings a breeze. If you’re tired of manually updating product titles and descriptions for each listing, this tool is for you. It allows you to bulk update your product listings on Faire quickly and efficiently.
Here’s how it works:
(i) Export Product Data: Start by exporting your current product listings from Faire into a spreadsheet.
(ii) Populate the Template: Add your product title and description to the template, using the structure and keywords you’ve researched.
(iii) Upload to Faire: Once you’ve optimised your listings, simply upload the updated spreadsheet back into Faire. This way, you can update hundreds of listings at once.
The template is designed to be flexible, so once you’ve created your first few listings, you can repeat the process and apply the same format to multiple products. It’s a huge time-saver!
