How to Optimize Product Traffic on Shopee?

In today's e-commerce environment, Shopee, one of the most popular e-commerce platforms in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, has caught the attention of countless merchants. For merchants who have joined Shopee, how to increase product visibility, attract more buyers to click and purchase is their core concern. Optimizing product traffic not only helps merchants increase sales but also enhances brand market competitiveness. So, how can merchants optimize product traffic on Shopee? This article will discuss in detail from multiple aspects such as keyword optimization, image quality, store activities, and user reviews.

Firstly, keyword optimization is the foundation for increasing product traffic. On the Shopee platform, the search results of products largely depend on the relevance of keywords. Merchants need to deeply study consumer behavior in the target market and choose keywords with high search volume but relatively less competition. For example, according to data released by Shopee, the search volume of keywords like daily necessities and electronic product accessories in Indonesia significantly increased in the second quarter of 2025. This means that if merchants can design their product descriptions around these keywords, they can effectively capture potential customers. Reasonably using long-tail keywords is also a key strategy. Although long-tail keywords may have low search volume, they usually point to specific needs and have higher conversion rates. For instance, a merchant selling phone cases can try using long-tail keywords like transparent silicone protective case suitable for iPhone 14 Pro Max to attract precise users.

Secondly, high-quality product images are crucial for attracting traffic. In the visual-dominated consumption era, a good picture often determines whether consumers are willing to further understand the product. Shopee requires merchants to upload at least five clear, multi-angle product photos and encourages the use of high-definition images. It should be noted that images not only need to truthfully reflect the appearance of the product but also highlight its unique selling points. For example, a store selling home decor can add scenario displays in the images so that buyers can intuitively feel the effect of the product placed at home. At the same time, considering that the network environment in some areas may be slower, merchants should compress the size of the images to ensure that the page loading speed is not affected due to large images.

In addition to technical operations, participating in platform activities is also an effective way to increase traffic. Shopee frequently launches various promotional activities, such as Super Brand Day, time-limited discounts, and full-reduction promotions, providing merchants with opportunities to interact with a large number of potential customers. Merchants can actively participate in these activities based on their own circumstances and maximize the benefits of the activities through planning inventory and adjusting pricing strategies. For example, during last year's Double Eleven period, a merchant selling baby products successfully doubled their daily order volume by signing up for Shopee's limited-time flash sale event. This shows that making good use of platform resources is very necessary for merchants.

Finally, maintaining a good user review system should not be overlooked. Positive user reviews not only increase product credibility but also indirectly influence other consumers' decision-making processes. When new users visit a certain product, they tend to subconsciously refer to existing comments. Merchants should pay attention to after-sales service, promptly address customer questions and issues, and strive for satisfactory evaluations. If negative reviews are found, merchants should respond promptly and handle them properly, demonstrating professionalism and responsibility. It is worth mentioning that Shopee also launched the Quality Seller Program, aiming to honor merchants with high ratings and good reputations, which undoubtedly serves as an incentive mechanism for merchants.

In summary, optimizing Shopee product traffic requires efforts from multiple dimensions, including keyword optimization, improving image quality, participating in platform activities, and paying attention to user feedback. Only by comprehensively applying these strategies can merchants stand out in fierce market competition and achieve continuous stable growth. With the continuous development of the e-commerce industry, it is believed that more innovative methods will be applied to Shopee operations in the future, bringing greater opportunities and challenges to merchants.
