Remember, in fact, that the home page is the first page to be reviewed by search engines and is the primary source of PageRank.
Publish exclusive content. Remember, content is king! The content of your site must be unique and complete. The user browsing between pages should get as much data as possible and have very clear information.

Search engines easily penalize sites with duplicate and/or incorrect content. Would you surf a site with little or no information?
Optimize images and videos. Over time, photographs and videos have become increasingly important in the SERPs. In addition to being a very useful source of information for the user, they are positively evaluated by search engines and, thanks to universal search, they have taken an important place in the escalation positions. Distinguish yourself from your competitors and attach original images to the products, photograph them from different angles and improve the details, trying to bring the customer closer to what he wants to buy.
Increase the speed of your site. Remove all unnecessary information, publish useful and practical content for those who browse your site and improve the user experience. Your potential customers will be satisfied and happy to browse quickly.
Link-buiding: quality, not quantity. Focus your link-building activity on getting quality backlinks from friendly sites. Google will reward your efforts!
The importance of reviews. Give your future customers the opportunity to leave reviews on your products and easily find them on your site, 77% of people read other people's reviews before making a purchase. Would you be willing to make a purchase on a platform without reading what the buyer thinks before you?

This is a decisive positioning aspect because the title and meta description will appear in Google's SERP snippets and could significantly increase the click-through rate of your site.
