We tend to overcomplicate Shopify SEO and put it off because it has been labelled as advanced. The truth about SEO is that Google and other search engines have one main goal in mind. That's keeping their searcher happy! How do you keep a searcher happy? You provide them with what they are looking for!

The better the user experience users have on your site, the longer they stay, the lower the bounce rate is and the more traffic Google sends.

Here are nine things you can implement to take control and drive sales:#1. Conduct keyword research: Identify the keywords people use to search for products similar to those you sell. Use tools like the Google Ads Keyword Planner or Ahrefs to help with this.

Pro Tip: Use buying intent keywords to get active buyers to your site. Examples of buying intent keywords include "buy your product," "discount your product," "coupon your product," "deal your product," "your product for sale," and "best price for your product." 

#2. Optimize your product titles and descriptions: Use the keywords you identified in step 1 in the titles and descriptions of your products. Make sure to write compelling and accurate product descriptions that convince potential customers to buy from you.

#3. Use alt text for images: Alt text is a short description of an image displayed when the image can't be shown (for example, if the image file is not found). Alt text helps search engines understand what is shown in the images on your site, which can improve your site's ranking.

#4. Use headings and subheadings: Use headings and subheadings to organize your content and make it easier for users to scan and read. This can also help search engines understand the structure and hierarchy of your content.

#5. Use internal linking: Internal linking is the process of linking to other pages on your website. This helps search engines understand the structure of your site and can also help users navigate it.

Pro Tip: In your blog content, your can hyperlink your product pages when you reference them to show your readers and search engines how to find your products.  

#6. Use social media to promote your store: Share links to your store and products on social media to drive traffic to your site. This can help improve your search ranking by increasing the number of inbound links to your site.

Pro Tip: Use chatGPT to easily write high-converting Facebook posts for your products using this prompt: 

“I’m looking to write a persuasive Facebook post for a product called [Product Name] in the ad style of [Ad Style] 

#7. Use SEO-friendly URLs: URLs that are short, descriptive, and include your target keywords can help search engines understand what your pages are about and improve their ranking.

#8. Enable rich snippets: Rich snippets are additional bits of information that are displayed in search results, such as the number of reviews a product has received. Enabling rich snippets can help your products stand out in search results and improve your click-through rate.

Pro Tip: Here is a detailed tutorial on how to do rich snippets for your store without an app. (Click Here)

#9 Optimize your mobile experience: With more and more people accessing the internet from their phones, it's essential to make sure that your site is optimized for mobile. This includes making sure that your site loads quickly, is easy to navigate, and has a mobile-friendly design.
