SEO & Google Shopping work well together
Google has two separate algorithms for SEO and Shopping. That said, Google Shopping management and search engine optimisation share many similarities.
For example, we’ve found eCommerce SEO tactics, such as the following, also boost Google Shopping campaign performance:
- improving the load speed of a page
- improving the usability of the page, to drive better conversion rates
- tagging product images correctly
- getting user reviews of the product
- writing descriptive product titles that appeal to your target audience
- creating persuasive content

Frequently Asked Questions
A digital marketing agency can benefit businesses in by providing specialised expertise,
developing a tailored digital marketing strategy, freeing up internal resources, and
keeping up with the latest industry trends and technology.
When evaluating how much digital marketing will cost for your business, it’s essential to consider both short-term and long-term objectives. Some strategies require a significant up-front investment but can pay off in the long run with increased website traffic, improved customer loyalty, and more conversions.
Other methods may need a smaller initial investment but can still yield great results in the short term. Additionally, depending on the size and scope of your digital marketing
goals, hiring an experienced digital marketer or agency who can manage all aspects of your campaigns may be beneficial. No matter what type of digital marketing services you require, you must consider the costs associated with each component.
For instance, starting from scratch with a new website, you may need to invest in design, hosting, and development costs. If you already have an established website, your focus will likely be SEO or social media marketing. Depending on the size of your business and the goals you want to achieve, other services, such as content marketing and email campaigns, may be necessary.
Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads are popular marketing tools that track sales and
performance and gain insights into user behaviour.
As the world of technology advances, the way businesses market their products and services has also changed. Digital marketing and online marketing are two terms that are often used interchangeably, however, there is a distinct difference between these two forms of marketing.
Digital marketing is the use of digital channels such as websites, social media, search engines, digital advertising and email to reach consumers. It includes activities such as search engine optimization (SEO), content marketing, pay-per-click advertising, and more. Digital marketing can be used to reach a wide range of audiences through different online platforms and devices. This type of marketing is best suited for businesses that want to target a specific audience or segment their products and services in order to maximize their reach.
On the other hand, online marketing refers to the promotion of products and services through the internet. This includes activities such as creating website content, setting up campaigns on social media platforms, running online adverts, and creating email newsletters. Online marketing is ideal for businesses that want to reach a broad audience and are looking for a cost-effective way to do so.
No matter the chosen strategy, the key to successful marketing is creating engaging content that resonates with the target audience. Companies should develop a comprehensive plan focusing on creating content that appeals to their target audience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answer
How does Google Shopping work?
Google Shopping is a Google Ads product. Payment is on a CPC (cost per click) auction basis, made each time a Googler clicks on your product image.
However, unlike Google Ads, Google Shopping uses two platforms: Google Ads (AdWords) and Google Merchant Center. Your product data (price, title, etc) sits in your Google Merchant Center and is received via a feed from your pages or a spreadsheet (see next section). Whilst your campaign settings are managed via the Google Ads interface.
Rankings That Drive Revenue for Websites and eCommerce Stores
At Clickthrough, our goal is to enhance your website’s rankings for brand-related, informational, and commercial keywords, ultimately boosting profitability from search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Here’s an overview of our ROI focused approach.

B2B Vs B2C Search Engine Optimisation
The main search engines, such as Bing and Google, do not have a separate ‘engine’ for B2B searches.
In other words, organic SEO fundamentals – on-page + technical + off-page SEO – are the same for B2B and B2C SEO.
However, over the past years we have found the following key nuances that distinguish Business to Business (B2B) SEO from Business to Consumer (B2C) search engine optimisation:
- With B2B SEO marketing, your target customer is a business, not a consumer. This means, the keywords you target with your search engine marketing strategy will be low volume / high value, which makes them more difficult to ascertain. Detailed buyer personas are a good way to guide your B2B keywords strategy.
- B2B conversion rates are lower than with a B2C site. For example, a B2C site selling shoes tends to convert higher than a B2B site that sells shoes in bulk to other businesses. The lower conversion rate is generally due to the sales process in a B2B organisation being more complex and having more decision makers. A suggestion here is to ensure your B2B sales pages have long-form content, including tips, guides, videos, images and other advisory content to help the various stakeholders in an organisation make a decision.
- Acquiring backlinks naturally for a B2B SEO strategy is a lot more complex and time consuming than with a B2C site as B2B businesses tend to have more conservative content. That said, we have found link building strategies using tactics such as user guides, infographics and PR campaigns to be quite effective.
How does an enterprise SEO strategy differ?
At Clickthrough our specialist enterprise SEO managers create solutions that are more sophisticated, scalable and process-centric than smaller, natural search programs. Here is a quick summary of four key ways enterprise or large-scale SEO programs differ from smaller programs.
More Complex SEO
Highly Competitive Search Targets
Enterprise SEO Platforms
Negative SEO
Off-page SEO Factors
- Create excellent content that generates referral links from local websites. E.g. a link from a local Wellington website would help your site rank for local Wellington searches.
- Don’t buy links or let your SEO company buy links. They are like steroids that may get your site banned.

What is a Search Engine Optimisation Reseller?
An SEO reseller is essentially an expert SEO company that outsources its SEO as a white label service to other companies such as website design and digital marketing agencies. White label SEO resellers essentially allow agencies to offer SEO services without actually having an in-house SEO capability. The reseller takes care of all the search engine optimization, allowing the agency to focus on other priority services.
