The Ecommerce Product Page Checklist
A practical checklist for reviewing product value, images, pricing, trust, shipping, calls to action, mobile usability and SEO on any ecommerce product page.
A strong ecommerce product page makes the value obvious, shows the product credibly, states price and options clearly, puts a prominent Add to Cart within reach, answers trust and delivery questions where the buyer decides, and stays fast and usable on mobile. Work the checklist below section by section, fix the purchase blockers first, then strengthen persuasion and SEO.
The product page is where most ecommerce decisions are made — and lost. Use this checklist to review any page the way a first-time buyer (and a search engine) would. It's organized from first impression through to SEO, so you can work top to bottom or jump to the section you suspect is weakest.
For the reasoning behind each item, see product page optimization. This page is the checklist; that one is the framework.
