SEO Suite plugin: features explained
In this section, we will explain to you in detail the features of the SEO Suite Plugin. You will also be able to know how we calculate the math behind the features. Which part is more important or which feature needs to be implemented to get a good SEO score? So, let’s check them out…
Product name
It is the name of your product. Try to put a name (the product name itself could be a great keyword) that can be searched by people on search engines. Putting your desired keyword at the beginning would be the best practice.
Focus keyword(s)
The focus keyword is the most important word or phrase of your content. They’re used to help search engines to find your content and rank higher in search results. Search engines look closely at your focus keywords to help rank your content.
Product Description
A great product description can help you to get more engagement with your customers and give them a clear idea of how your product will make their lives better or why they should buy from you.
Metadata
In this section, you have to provide detail, context and other interesting facts that give your data a greater meaning. It also helps people to find your content more easily.
Meta title
A meta title or popularly known as Title Tag, often shows in search engine result pages (SERP) and on the browser tab, it also shows the topic of a webpage.
At present, the ideal length for a meta title is approximately 50-60 characters. If you add more than that Google cut them off. Therefore it’s a best practice to keep your title tag somewhere in between the 50-60 character range.
Meta description
Although meta descriptions can be of any length, Google normally shows 155-160 characters on SERP. That’s why we recommend meta descriptions should be between 50 (at least) and 160 characters long in order to fit nicely.
Keyphrases
A keyphrase means a set of words that can build a meaningful phrase. However, a keyphrase is also sometimes known as a multi-word search term or kind of Longtail Keyword. An example of a keyphrase: ‘Best IT company in NRW’.
Keep in mind, Keyphrases or Longtail Keywords are more specific. Sometimes we get confused with Keyphrase and Focus Keyword.
Focus Keyword is a word or word-set that describes the main subject or content of a webpage. Sometimes it’s not specific in terms of keywords. An example: ‘Best IT company’. This keyword could be more specified by adding some extra words such as ‘Best IT company in NRW’ or ‘Best IT company in NRW for Shopware’.
SEO Score
0-49 = It means your SEO score is poor. You have to optimize your content more to get a better result on search engines.
50-89 = It is not bad but you have still the scope to increase your SEO score.
90-100 = That means you have done a good job! You can hope for a good result!
Readability Score
Our system analyzes how easy and meaningful the texts are! The more score you have the better readability the content has. Try to maintain a good score.
Please have a look at the chart below:
| Your Score % | Explanation |
| 90-100 | Very easy to read. Easily understood by an average 11-year-old student |
