linkSEO for product tabs

The add-on allows to add SEO optimized headings for product tabs on product pages using templates and product name placeholder.
The add-on is included in the SEO package for CS-Cart (it is free for owners of the package with an active subscription to updates).

The add-on allows you to create SEO optimized headlines on the product detailed page with the title of the product name (or its short name added by the module) in the header. This technique is often used by large ecommerce players in order to get TOP search results for queries such as product name + reviews, product name + description, product name + features, product name + photo and other search queries, receiving good positions for which, you can qualify for the top by the query "product name + buy" or "product name".

What it gives for SEO and why you need to use the add-on:

• the relevance of the page to the main search query is increased;
• allows you to use a direct or indirect occurrence of the main keyword - the name of the product in the headings h2-h6 on the product page;
• also allows you to promote product pages by alternative product name (short) in addition to the main name;
• allows carefully (only for the necessary tabs) to use occurrences (which eliminates the likelihood of a search engine ban for excessive use of the main keyword in the headings (exclude so-called nausea));
• allows you to flexibly customize the title template for each tab separately, so there will be no template headings, for which you can also get a search engine ban);
• allows at the level of each tab to determine the type of heading from h2 to h6 (which will allow you to build the hierarchy of headers as logical as possible for the search engine on the product page and at the same time the appearance of each heading will have the same design regardless of its layout).

We have gathered all the experience of large online stores and added it to the add-on for quick installation and use by CS-Cart users.
