E-commerce SEO for Nigerian businesses

In this foundational video lesson, I will introduce you to the key website pages every business should create to build trust with users and optimize for search engines.

In this lesson, I emphasized how Google prioritizes trusted sources when delivering search results and how the right on-site content helps establish credibility and transparency.

What This Lesson Covers:

  1. The Importance of Trust in SEO:

    • Google aims to provide the best answers from trusted sources.

    • Trust is built not only through content but also through transparency about your business.

    • Human users and Google both need to see evidence that a real, reliable business operates the website.

  2. Critical Pages to Create:

    1. About Us Page

    • Describe your business clearly: who you are, what you do, and when you started.

    • Optional: Include your mission, vision, and any relevant business milestones.

    • You can also list your team members here or link to a dedicated team page.

    2. Team Page (Optional)

    • Highlight the key individuals in your company.

    • Helps humanize your brand and build more trust.

    3. Author Bio Section (Autobio)

    • A small author description is added to blog posts (either at the top or bottom).

    • Signals to Google that content is produced by a real person with authority or expertise.

    • Should be added site-wide to all blog content.

    4. Returns & Refund Policy Page

    • Reassures customers that they can return or replace faulty products.

    • Builds credibility and trust, especially for e-commerce businesses.

    5. Privacy Policy Page

    • Important if you collect payments or user data.

    • Demonstrates that user information is handled securely and ethically.

    6. FAQ Page (Optional)

    • Contains answers to common customer questions.

    • Enhances user experience and adds relevant SEO content.

    • Considered the least critical among the listed pages, but still useful.

Key Takeaways:

  • Trust is central to SEO. Your website must appear legitimate to both users and search engines.

  • These core pages act as trust signals that show Google and visitors that your site is safe, transparent, and run by real people.

  • A strong foundation of business information pages increases your chances of ranking and converting traffic.

  • This setup also helps prevent poor reviews and builds a sustainable online presence.
