What is Shopify?
Most people who go down the path of researching shopping cart software will likely encounter Shopify. As an all-inclusive online selling platform, it has exploded in popularity across the world for seasoned retailers and budding entrepreneurs alike to trade their wares. The model works on a monthly subscription, where you build and develop a customisable eCommerce store set to sell, advertise, and send products to customers across the world. The platform is so popular due to its small start-up costs and simple-to-manoeuvre interface – there is virtually no learning curve to those with even the most basic of tech skills, meaning your business can be up and running fast. As a cloud-based software, users receive business access to an admin panel, built to upload products, process orders, and retain data for future use. There are even plenty of new integrations that can be included to your website that will help the software grow alongside your business.
Why do you need SEO for Shopify eCommerce websites?
Gone are the days when businesses had to ‘out do’ each other’s physical storefronts with flashy signs or elaborate offerings, but just as Google Pay and Afterpay have replaced cash transactions, the online world has seen this tactic continue, only in a different form. Capturing attention to your Shopify eCommerce store is now done through SEO.
Instead of heading to shopping centres and high-streets, consumers now head online, and if they don’t already have a destination in mind, they turn to search engines. The power of those top rankings on Google can make or break a business and having your eCommerce store listed on page one (at least) is essential to remain competitive in your industry.
