Alternatives like <a href=\"https:\/\/loox.app\/\">Loox<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yotpo.com\/\">Yotpo<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.shopify.com\/fera\">Fera<\/a> are also great options.<\/p>\n<p>You can start sending feedback survey requests once you&#8217;ve set up your review management app. Many of your customers would be happy to oblige. User-generated content is shareable on social media too.<\/p>\n<p>A well-timed email or SMS can encourage reviews and feedback. If you are struggling with this, start an incentive program for customers. For instance, customers can get free shipping or 10% off on their next purchase after they review a product. Also, one effective incentive for customers could be to <a href=\"https:\/\/burstcommerce.com\/guides\/shopify-free-shipping\/\">set up free shipping on Shopify<\/a> for orders above a certain amount.

Here are some practical Shopify SEO strategies recommended by <a href=\"https:\/\/aureatelabs.com\/services\/ecommerce-seo-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">ecommerce SEO experts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first step is to optimize your site structure. Include clear categories and sub-categories. This allows search engines to crawl through each page and rank them. Use strategic SEO keywords in your category names too.<\/li>\n<li>Run a thorough SEO keyword research campaign. Here, the goal is to understand the kind of keywords your prospects or target audience is looking for. Analyze your competitor keywords and their performance too.<\/li>\n<li>Add a <a href=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/best-shopify-seo-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Shopify SEO app<\/a> to automate on-page optimization, track performance, and implement SEO best practices efficiently.<\/li>\n<li>Next, you&#8217;ll need to optimize product pages. This includes the title, product images, and metadata.<\/li>\n<li>Create several healthy backlinks to boost your ranking. Search engines gauge how others in the community judge your content by the number of sturdy backlinks you have. It is a marker of trust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/best-cms-for-ecommerce\/\">Read also: The Best CMS for eCommerce<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Publish_posts_on_Pinterest_regularly\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>4.
