Overview: Sana Commerce Cloud marketing capabilities

Our wide range of online marketing capabilities means you can make improvements to your e-commerce experience across search engine optimization (SEO), search engine advertising (SEA), conversion optimization, email marketing/marketing automation, web analytics and marketing intelligence, and display/social media advertising.

Sana Commerce Cloud’s online marketing capabilities are easily configurable directly in the admin panel, or are enriched and powered by your ERP data (via Sana Admin).

Among the specific functionalities that make Sana Commerce Cloud’s online marketing capabilities great are:

SEO

When it comes to SEO, marketers have one clear goal: to ensure their business’ web store is easily indexable by search engines to improve search results on organic results. To do so, industry best practices include: improving your e-commerce platform (with Sana Commerce Cloud, this is already taken care of), keyword research, content optimization, and link building. This is standard with any online marketing agency but what distinguishes Sana Commerce Cloud?

  • A unique SEO-friendly filtering system (which dynamically changes your URL and H1 tags as your visitor filters search results in your site, allowing you to rank higher as part of your long-tail SEO strategy)
  • Include rich snippets in search results (such as customer reviews and ratings) – which can result in a higher click-through rate (CTR) and lower bounce rate
  • XML sitemaps (that are also available internationally and able to be customized by Sana clients).
  • Robots.txt that is directly adaptable from your CMS (for controlled indexing and better link value distribution)
  • Valid HTML and fast web store load speed

SEA

Optimize your paid advertising. With Sana Commerce Cloud, you can increase your paid traffic by using Google Ads in combination with your product feed. You can also connect Sana Commerce Cloud to other services, like Channable or DataFeedWatch, to publish products to other web stores and search engines or to marketplaces for even more traffic. This is an approach often recommended by consultants and experts.

Sana makes it simple by connecting with services and marketplaces including (but not limited to):
