At Gofenice Technologies, we’re passionate about building fast, functional, and SEO-friendly websites for our clients. Over the years, we’ve optimized countless PrestaShop stores, learning what works (and what doesn’t) along the way. Today, we’re sharing five practical tips to boost your PrestaShop site’s search rankings and help your store stand out.
💡 1️⃣ Optimize Your Product Descriptions
One of the most common mistakes we see in PrestaShop stores is generic product descriptions straight from the manufacturer. This might save time, but it hurts your SEO — and your ability to convert visitors into buyers.
Here’s what we recommend:
✅ Write unique, engaging product descriptions that resonate with your audience.
✅ Incorporate target keywords naturally, without overstuffing them.
✅ Focus on benefits and features that highlight what makes your product special.
For example, if you’re selling eco-friendly sneakers, don’t just say “Green Sneakers – Size 10.” Instead:
“Step into style with our eco-friendly sneakers, crafted from recycled materials. Lightweight and comfortable, these sneakers are perfect for daily adventures while reducing your carbon footprint.”
💡 2️⃣ Leverage PrestaShop’s Built-in SEO Settings
PrestaShop makes it easy to manage basic SEO settings — you just need to use them to their full potential.
👉 For each product, category, and CMS page, fill out the:
✅ Meta Title
✅ Meta Description
✅ Friendly URL
A few quick tips:
1.Keep titles under 60 characters.
2.Write meta descriptions that are clear and persuasive, around 150–160 characters.
3.Include your main keyword naturally in both.
This isn’t just about search rankings — it’s also about getting people to click your listing when they see it in Google results!
💡 3️⃣ Improve Site Speed and Performance
At Gofenice, we believe that a fast site is a happy site — for both your customers and for Google.
Here’s how you can boost your PrestaShop site’s speed:
✅ Enable the built-in CCC (Combine, Compress, Cache) options in your PrestaShop settings.
✅ Choose a reliable, high-performance hosting provider — it makes a huge difference.
✅ Use image compression tools and consider a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to serve images faster across the globe.
A faster site not only improves SEO but also reduces bounce rates and boosts conversions.
💡 4️⃣ Create a Clear, SEO-Friendly URL Structure
Your URLs matter — for both humans and search engines. PrestaShop lets you customize URLs for products, categories, and pages.
Aim for:
✅ Short, descriptive URLs that include your main keyword.
✅ No unnecessary parameters or numbers.
For example:
✅ Good: /summer-shoes
❌ Bad: /index.php?id_product=123
This helps search engines understand your content and improves your site’s overall SEO score.
💡 5️⃣ Leverage Rich Snippets and Structured Data
Want to stand out in Google search results? Rich snippets (like star ratings, prices, and availability) catch the eye and boost click-through rates.
Here’s what to do:
✅ Use modules or custom code to add schema.org structured data to your product pages.
✅ Focus on key details like Product Name, Price, Availability, and Reviews.
Adding structured data can make your listing more informative and more attractive in search results.
