Building solid, optimized product detail pages (PDPs) is a must for any brand or retailer. After all, the PDP is where consumers decide to convert (or not).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conversion is the ultimate goal. And there are certain factors \u2013 including the presence of reviews \u2013 that positively impact conversion on the PDP. In fact, we recently compiled an <\/span>entire guide that explores the 10 must-haves for PDPs that convert<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

But before you convince shoppers to convert on your PDPs, you must first get them there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, no two shoppers approach the purchase journey in the same manner. Instead, consumers might happen upon your product pages in any number of ways. In this guide, we\u2019ll zoom in on one of the most common ways: <\/span>the product listing page (PLP).<\/b><\/p>\n

Read on to explore why PLPs matter, and learn 14 key components that\u2019ll improve the performance of yours (with plenty of real-life examples of these components in action). <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The PLP: A Key Stop on the Road to Conversion \n<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you work for a brand or retailer, you\u2019re likely familiar with the concept of a PLP. If you\u2019re not (or if you need a refresher), PLP stands for product listing page. You may also hear it referred to as a category page.<\/span><\/p>\n

Essentially, a PLP is a page on an ecommerce site that provides a list of products based on a category or search term. For example, this is a PLP that a consumer reaches when they click on \u201clattes\u201d in the menu of a coffee brand\u2019s website.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

And here\u2019s a PLP that displays all results that match a search term of \u201cwaterproof\u201d on an apparel website.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Typically, brands and retailers focus a lot of attention on optimizing their product detail pages (PDPs). That makes sense, as an optimized PDP is key to boosting conversion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But all too often, PLPs don\u2019t get the same amount of love from brands and retailers. And that\u2019s a big mistake.<\/span><\/p>\n

PLPs are a key point on the road to conversion. It\u2019s on the PLP that a shopper decides whether to delve deeper into specific products \u2013 or take their search in a different direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

A poor PLP experience can scare a shopper right off your site. So it\u2019s important to get it right. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The truth is, there\u2019s no one-size fits all formula for a PLP. Rather, it depends on myriad factors including product type and industry. The most important thing is to find the formula that works best for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, there are common characteristics across the most effective PLPs. Let\u2019s take a look at what \u201cgood\u201d looks like. Then, we\u2019ll take a deep dive into each individual component. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
