SEO Tips for B2B Buyers

Include HS Code

Add the 6-digit HS Code in your description for AfCFTA-specific searches and preferential tariff matching.

Mention Certifications

Highlight ISO, NAFDAC, KEBS, SON certifications prominently - buyers filter by these.

Use Specific Quantities

Say '25kg bags' not 'bulk available'. Specificity converts better in B2B.

Add Port of Loading

Buyers factor in shipping logistics. Include your nearest port (e.g., Apapa Port, Lagos).

State Payment Terms

List accepted payment terms (L/C, T/T, escrow) to pre-qualify serious buyers.

Prohibited Content

Contact information (phone, email, WhatsApp) in descriptions
Links to external websites
Competitor brand names or trademarks
False claims about certifications or origin
Political or discriminatory content
