Key takeaways
- Lead with great images and a clear title, price and call to action — especially on mobile.
- Write original descriptions that answer the questions customers ask before buying.
- Put delivery, returns and sizing information next to the add-to-cart button.
- Reviews with photos are some of the strongest persuasion on the page.
- Unique titles, meta descriptions and product structured data help the page rank.
Every channel — search, ads, email, social — ends on a product page. Small improvements here lift conversion across all of them. Work through these elements in order.
Above the fold on mobile
- Large, swipeable product images.
- A clear product title and price, including any sale price.
- Variant selectors that are easy to tap.
- A prominent add-to-cart button and express checkout.
- A rating summary that links to reviews.
Images and video
Show the product from every useful angle, with close-ups of materials and details, scale against a person or object, and lifestyle shots that help customers picture using it. Short videos work well for products that move, fold or fit. Keep files optimised so the page stays fast.
Product copy that sells
- Lead with the benefit: What it does for the customer, in one or two lines.
- Then the specifics: Materials, dimensions, ingredients, compatibility and care.
- Answer objections: Sizing advice, comparisons and who the product is not for.
- Make it scannable: Short paragraphs, bullet points and tabs or accordions for detail.
Trust and reassurance
- Delivery times and costs next to the button, not only in the footer.
- A clear, short returns promise.
- Reviews with photos, including on mobile.
- Secure payment options and recognisable wallets.
SEO for product pages
- A unique title tag and meta description built around the product's main search term.
- Original descriptions — manufacturer copy is duplicated across every retailer.
- Descriptive image alt text.
- Product structured data with price, availability and reviews.
- Links from relevant collections and blog posts.
