With a digital storefront, you’ll take your learning offerings from amateur to pro within minutes. ### **Organizing Your Ecommerce Storefront** Just like a bricks and mortar storefront, your ecommerce storefront needs to be organized. You’ll find that selling digital offerings is much like selling your in-person test prep courses. At the end of the day, you want your learner to pass the exam. And, your products will help them do it! *Categorization* Categories will help users find what they need in your ecommerce storefront. They’ll also act as tags so your software can pull up resources during user searches. You can also align your categories with search engine optimizations (SEO) keywords to help your site rank well on Google. Suggested categories for test prep companies: - Study guides, physical and digital - Practice exams - Test prep courses - Certification or recertification courses ![inline 1-3](https://blog.benchprep.com/hs-fs/hubfs/inline%201-3.png?width=1200&name=inline%201-3.png) *Product Pages* Your product page has two essential functions: 1) Sell the value of your course, and 2) Create SEO opportunities. Add these essential product page details to sell the value of the product: - Video sample, especially if you’re selling an adaptive platform or simulated exam. - Course description, including the syllabus and learning objectives. - Testimonials detailing how others found it useful. - Price, including links to bundled products offering discounts. SEO opportunities on your product page include: - Align your categories to keywords. - Label your navigation links, urls, and product pages with keywords in mind. - Write the metadata to the product page based on keywords. - Include alternative text for your images using keywords. 🔎Related: [How to Turn Learning Science Concepts into Profitable eLearning Products \[On-Demand Webinar\]](https://info.benchprep.com/turn-learning-science-concepts-into-profitable-elearning-products-webinar)  ![inline 2 (1)](https://blog.benchprep.com/hs-fs/hubfs/inline%202%20(1).png?width=1200&name=inline%202%20(1).png) ### **Improve Your Sales with These Techniques** Test Prep companies often serve audiences from around the globe.
