But just like astrological predictions, not everything might be relatable to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various eCommerce platforms and every single online store, apart from having a different platform base, is also unique. Be in terms of goals, content, audience, location, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, not all those hundreds and thousands of strategies might work for your store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>here, we&#8217;ll outline a few strategies specifically for Shopify store owners, all using Shopify&#8217;s built-in features\u2014no paid tools needed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SEO<\/strong> at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People go to a search engine like Google in search for anything they need. Google uses a variety of information from different websites to create a ranked list of results(SERP) for particular query. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google or any other search engine determine which websites are most likely to be relevant to the search query entered by the customer, and then displays the results as per their relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s dig more into this:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many factors can make your online store appear above in search results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optimized content &amp; structure of your website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The older the domain, the better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Authority of your website based on engagement with the audience. To be precise, reviews, ratings &amp; comments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Non-paid or non-social media links pointing to your website from other websites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you are new to the eCommerce world, forget about the bottom three points. These last three come with age. Let&#8217;s just focus on the content &amp; design\/structure optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding Keywords!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think like a customer. Think about what you&#8217;ll search on Google if you&#8217;ll be looking for a certain product.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, add these keywords to your content like page\/product titles, descriptions, and image alt text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Make sure that the keywords are relevant otherwise Google can put you down for misleading too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just to let it out, Shopify takes care of some SEO automatically. Moreover, gives you the privilege to do as much as you can to build a strong SEO like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adding\/Editing tags, meta descriptions, and URLs for blog posts, products, and collections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add\/Edit the ALT image text.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keywords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to know your targeted audience in order to make your store specific. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you deal with garments, specifically shirts and you have a lot of audiences\/customers from Mexico. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, the possibility is that people search for terms like &#8216;<strong>affordable shirt to buy in Mexico<\/strong>&#8216;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, to appear in the search result for this query, your products &amp; collections must include tags &amp; meta descriptions including keywords:  &#8216;<strong>affordable shirt<\/strong>&#8216; &amp; &#8216;<strong>Mexico<\/strong>&#8216;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/ubersuggest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ubersuggest (opens in a new tab)\">Ubersuggest<\/a> to find specific keywords according to the location of your store to target the right audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another hack: Google the keyword, look for the &#8216;Searches related&#8217; section at the bottom of the page. Here, you&#8217;ll have related search keywords for the term you searched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"597\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/affordable-shirt-to-buy-in-Mexico-Google-Search-1200x597.png\" alt=\"affordable-shirt-to-buy-in-Mexico-Google-Search\" class=\"wp-image-222071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/affordable-shirt-to-buy-in-Mexico-Google-Search-1200x597.png 1200w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/affordable-shirt-to-buy-in-Mexico-Google-Search-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/affordable-shirt-to-buy-in-Mexico-Google-Search-250x124.png 250w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/affordable-shirt-to-buy-in-Mexico-Google-Search-768x382.png 768w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/affordable-shirt-to-buy-in-Mexico-Google-Search.png 1286w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a556e\">I am repeating it again, the keywords should be relatable, readable, and natural. Customers won\u2019t click links with random keywords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a556e\">Moreover, search engines ignore websites that don\u2019t use readable keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adding Keywords to your Shopify Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four places where you can add keywords on your Shopify store to improve SEO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ALT text to images<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Title  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meta description<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tags<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a526a\">Image Alt Text<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alt text or an alternative text is added to the images that you upload on your website. This is because search engines can&#8217;t read images, they can only read the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Adding alt text to images lets the search engine describe the image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alt-text is also an important accessibility feature for people who have visual impairments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, while describing the image you can include keywords related to the product or your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In your Shopify store, you can add alt text to product images, collection images &amp; blog post images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Product Images<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From <strong>Shopify admin<\/strong>, visit <strong>Products<\/strong> > <strong>All products<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the product with the image that you want to edit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"876\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/collage-1-.png\" alt=\"collage-1-\" class=\"wp-image-222116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/collage-1-.png 876w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/collage-1--300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/collage-1--250x124.png 250w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/collage-1--768x380.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 876px) 100vw, 876px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Collection Images<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From <strong>Shopify admin<\/strong>, visit <strong>Products<\/strong> > <strong>Collections<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the collection with the image that you want to edit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on the image to add alt text.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"963\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/demo-store-Collections-Molly-Shopify.png\" alt=\"demo-store-Collections-Molly-Shopify\" class=\"wp-image-222119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/demo-store-Collections-Molly-Shopify.png 963w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/demo-store-Collections-Molly-Shopify-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/demo-store-Collections-Molly-Shopify-250x129.png 250w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/demo-store-Collections-Molly-Shopify-768x396.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Blog Post Featured Image<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From Shopify Admin, visit <strong>Online Store <\/strong>> <strong>Blog Posts<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the collection with the image that you want to edit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap on the image to add alt text.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"954\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/demo-store-Blog-posts-Blog-Shopify.png\" alt=\"demo-store-Blog-posts-Blog-Shopify\" class=\"wp-image-222124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/demo-store-Blog-posts-Blog-Shopify.png 954w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/demo-store-Blog-posts-Blog-Shopify-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/demo-store-Blog-posts-Blog-Shopify-250x138.png 250w, https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/demo-store-Blog-posts-Blog-Shopify-768x423.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a526a\">Title &amp;
