I am trying to rank my collection pages in top Position 1-3 in USA market, I have chosen commercial keywords for my collection page which have low keyword difficulty(Difficulty score below of 30). They have ranked upto position 6-7 but are not moving up. I see big websites like Etsy, Amazon ranking in top 1-2 positions, do you think it is possible to beat them, if yes what 3-5 specific strategies should I follow

Currently I am doing following things :

  1. I am publishing blogs to increase topical authority and internal linking(to pass on link juice) to collection pages

  2. I am increasing my product count on my collection pages

  3. I have optimised meta and I do include keywords from GSC in my collection pages.

Congrats on getting onto page 1! That’s a big accomplishment by itself.

If there’s anything that differentiates your page/results/products from Amazon/Etsy, then try to indicate that in the title tag (can improve CTR and ranking over time when done correctly).

Work on conversion rate to make sure you’re sorting by the most popular products on the collection.

If you can, earning some additional links to that page may help the ranking, but the truth is that if Amazon and Etsy are selling basically the same thing as you, it’s unlikely that you’ll outrank them. You need some unique value that humans demand.
