An important skill that every eCommerce SEO should be developing in 2024 is merchant listings.
There is so much to learn in this area of SEO and so much nuance in how merchant listings work, specifically related to the new dataset in GSC.
In particular: understanding the difference between product snippets and merchant listings, and knowing that you've got an issue on your hands if the amount of valid pages don't align.
For eCommerce stores, this can be such a low hanging fruit opportunity, with ability to unlock free traffic from simply making your store eligible for new SERP features.
Merchant listings primarily relate to 2 important features: popular product grids and product knowledge panels. Both can send a ton of qualified traffic, but require eligibility based on the GSC reports.
The reason why I'm making this post now in advance of 2024 starting is that I've noticed Google testing out these features more aggressively lately – specifically the popular product grids that occupy a lot of space.
Previously, these features were a lot more common is just US search results, but I'm now seeing them appear in regions outside of the US. Make sure to get your merchant listings in order – you won't regret it.
If you're wanting to learn more on this topic, I've been updating my article: https://t.co/ytYKqZcAOs as I learn new information on these features. So make sure to check it out. Planning to develop a more in-depth guide on the topic in the new year.
