      Google has the results that appear at the top of the search results when searching for a product that shows stores. I was trying to figure out some good ways to get yourself noticed as a store to Google. I have attached an image of what I am talking about

      What do you guys think?

      Thanks!

        Trying to get yourself noticed as a store to google is probably too ambitious for most online stores. I imagine it would take years of proper SEO to get recognized. Ranking high on large volume keyword SERPs like "hard drive" would probably be a step in the right direction.

          There are many things one can do to help Google recognize your business as a store. First, if your business has a centralized location, be sure to create an optimized listing for your company at Google Places for Business. As well, be sure to use selling related terms when optimizing your pages for keywords, e.g. instead of simply listing “hard drives”, use “hard drive retailer” or “hard drives for sale” along with your company name. Ensure your URL and landing page reflect your business wares as well by having a short, clear URL and using reflective keywords within the first 100 words of text on your site.

          It will always be a struggle to compete in Google against major corporate retailers, but by following these steps, you should begin to see a change in your results.

          • Bigcommerce only allows us to have https for our store only, not the other pages on our site, so we have a mix of https and http, how is this hurting us and what's the best way to fix?
