10 Reasons Why You Need A SEO App

If you’re a Shopify store owner, you need to optimize your shop to gain a massive following that will eventually increase your conversion rate and add to your sales. 

Since the launch of eCommerce, people have grown a non-stop, insatiable hunger for dropshipping. However, after realizing that success in this field, just like in any other field, requires a steep learning curve, most of them give up. Luckily, those who stuck around and carried on despite the struggle were greatly rewarded. They just unlocked a new endeavor that blew up and became more and more profitable. 

But the story doesn’t end there. Since almost everyone sees the platform as profitable, the competition grew more vigorous. Therefore, if you want to stand out, you need to be on top of the search list, and that your listings should show up when people search for products like those you sell.

No matter how uncomplicated these things sound, they are easier said than done. The truth is, your market is ever dynamic, and they bank more on the experience they get when using the product than the thing itself. To get their attention, you must challenge their minds, touch their hearts, and tickle their funny bone. And how do you do these? By intensifying your SEO efforts.

From 0 to 0.1: the Journey of Bootstrapping a Small E-commerce Plugin to a Scalable Business (Part 3)

Fierce Competition & Commodization

Well, it’s been 3 and a half years after I published part 2 of the series. Since I was busy working on different projects, I didn’t have the time to update the series for a while. Time flies. My app has changed a lot and the Shopify ecosystem is very different from the early days.

For my Shopify app, SEO Product Optimizer (SPO) is slowly growing with more than 1,000 merchants joining on board. The first version of SPO was published in Dec 2016. After 4 years of bootstrapping, I don’t make a big-money but I feel very proud of myself to keep everything going.

What’s your biggest challenge in Marketing?

Happy New Year, SPO Users!

Happy New Year, SPO users! I wish all of you’ll have good lucks in 2018.

Thanks for staying with us for the year. We appreciate your opinion whether it’s negative and positive. When there are new support emails coming to my mailbox, I always feel happy because it means our users really care about SPO and we can do better to fix their problems.

Personally, I would like to thank for your support as the Customer Success Officer in 2017 (as you saw in our notification email).

In the coming year, we’re planning what features will help our store owners to get more values from SPO. If we can do a little bit better, our store owners can be beneficial to the little changes we made.

The Findings:

From our user research, we found that:

  1. Store owners care about social sharing of products or the store’s home page
  2. Store owners want to look good when visitors share their online store
  3. Store owners want visitors to generate referral traffics via social sharing.

If you find other issues more critical, please let us know by filling in the form at the bottom.

What’s next?

Currently, we are researching how we can help our store owners in SEO and Social Media Marketing. Most SPO users want more sales and more traffic.

But I would say that there is NO silver bullet.

There is no app that you can install and Boom!… more sales coming in.

What we aim is not making a silver bullet. Instead, we strive to make a painkiller to solve your hair-burning problem. Finally, it can help you to save time and increase efficiency. And you’ll be happy to pay for the solution at a reasonable cost.

Enroll To Join Our Pilot List!

If you have any opinions regarding new features in SPO or new problems you wanna solve, please feel free to let us know. It would be great if you describe it more specifically so that I can put myself in your shoes.

If you wanna join our pilot list, you can also fill in the form (5 questions only) below. You can leave a remark if you have other painful problems to solve. We may be able to help you think in another perspective.
