 Product description

-  A description should carry the most complete information about the product or service, technical specifications, i.e. what will help the customer make a final decision with regards to a product or service.

- In addition to being informative, a quality description implies good grammar and spelling.

- The minimum length of a description should not be less than 300 characters space-free. However, we recommend you do not restrict yourself with the minimum requirement and make the product description as detailed as possible. Optimally, 600-1,000 characters or more.

-  A description should be targeted at the user rather than search engines.

 The neater and better structured the text, the simpler the perception.

-  The text should be aligned on the left (Ctrl+L).

-  A description should be made with single font type and size.

-  It is recommended the logical subsections of a description are made in bold and organize them as subheadings – this will make easer text perception.

-  It is essential you use a bulleted list for listing the technical specifications, advantages of a product and other enumeration.

-  Bold can be used exclusively for emphasizing subheadings. Usage of italic is not recommended.

-  Tables are formatted in line with the above requirements. Table and table cell content center alignment is acceptable.

 Not acceptable:

-  using key words as a description;

- making a description with comma-separated synonyms;

- making a description with the data replicated from alternative Internet resources;

- placement of company contact information onto a product / service description.

SEO-recommendations

- The text should include the name of a product or words linked to it. With the size of description of 500-600 characters, a two times product mention in various word combinations will be enough.

- We do not recommend replication of texts from your Internet or other Internet stores. Top positions at product displaying with the Allbiz resource are ensured by the uniqueness of the text.

 Product images

Use only quality and informative photos matching a product or service. You can load JPEG, PNG, GIF files with the maximum volume size of up to 12 Mb. You can load up to 11 images for each product card.

The optimal image size is 600х800 to 1,024 pixels along a long side. The minimum acceptable size for an image for site placement – 200 pixels along one side, yet the better the quality and the larger the image of a product, the higher the probability it catches customer eye.

Acceptable:

- placement of a logo or your store ‘watermark’ on the photo. Neither the logo nor the ‘watermark’ should affect the informative aspect of the photo.

Not acceptable:

- placement of a company logo as an image for a product or service;

- placement of a third-party resource logo or ‘watermark’ on a product / service photo;

- placement of a company e-mail or telephone contact on a product / service photo.

Placement of a product (service) in a group

You should place your products only in the relevant product group. Duplication of a product card in groups with seemingly analogous products is not allowed. For instance, ‘Pine wall paneling’ should not be placed in the ‘Blockhouse’ or ‘Beam imitation’ group.

Placement of a product in Services and a service in Products is not acceptable.
