Welcome guys to this new video, Talk Press
0:01
Let's talk about the CEO optimizer for Shopify. If you're getting started into Shopify, it's really important to talk about the CEO
0:08
and CEO actually means search engine optimization. Let's explain this a little bit more faster
0:14
If I am going to open a new tabbed, here what I wanted to do is to talk about a product that I'm selling
0:20
or I wanted to actually sell into my store. Let's say, for example, that I'm currently snow bullets
0:27
So if I type snowboats, it's going to be appearing me, the most popular website they are currently selling this product. So they have eBow.com
0:35
we have botan.com, they have backcountry.com, and you can just click into the website that has
0:42
more views, and you can see that they actually are selling this actual product. So this is what
0:48
CEO stands for. If you wanted to, let's say, improve your CEO of your actual Shopify store
0:54
you're actually in the right place. And if you're just getting started as a beginner, you have to worry about
0:59
how to use a lot of content, how to use meta stuff. You don't need to worry about that
1:04
We're going to be using three easy tools that can be helping you just to push a little bit more
1:09
your actual store. So the very first thing you're going to do once you have your store really been created
1:14
in order to get started with the optimization of your actual store is to first of all
1:19
check it out your products. If I focus into the lip pod, it has my actual dashboard and hit into my actual products
1:26
As you can see, we have bunched up things that are we are actually set. into my actual store. So what I wanted to do is to click into, let's say, for example
1:33
this post one that I'm actually selling and make sure that I have the right title and the
1:38
right description for this product. In this case, as you can see, we have the videographer
1:43
Snowboard. So my keyword, which in my case is Snowboard, comes into the title. In the description
1:49
we don't have absolutely anything, so that means we need to change this. And we even have here
1:53
to generate text and this can be helping you to create something much more professional easy and concrete for you so if you use only the keywords for example snowboard cool secure easy use tone of voice let say go for supportive or even daring or playful
2:12
I'm going to go with generate text and automatically it's going to be generating me in description
2:16
They can be helping the actual buyer to incentivize them to actually buy the product
2:23
So now just grow a little bit down. you have to make sure that you have the actual writing media to upload your actual product
2:31
Lastly, check out your search engine listing. The search engine listing is how it should be appearing your actual product, the website
2:39
the, let's say, subpage of your website of this product. So it's going to be appearing as the videographer Snowboard
2:45
So the meta description and the page title should be appearing like this
2:49
If you're okay with that, just leave it like that. If you don't, you can just change your characters
2:53
For example, only go would snowboard. combine cool design and let's go conquer the mountain easy to use and you can add this for all ages
3:06
let's go men and women so this is going to be helping google to understand what are we selling so we can
3:13
appear more into the very first part of google so now into the meta fields we have snowboarding
3:19
mountain mountain we can add something else if you wanted to or snowboard linked for example you can
3:25
add the own dimensions if you wanted to. So that will be totally up to you, but this is how
3:29
you could be helping your store to label up your CEO. And then your first task of your Shopify
3:36
store is to do exactly the same thing with all your products. All the things that we have
3:40
do so far, you need to do this with all your products so you can have more chances to get into
3:45
the CEO, the search engine of the actual Google. The next thing I wanted to do is to go directly
3:51
into the left part, to go into my actual settings. Now into the same, I'm going to do some
3:55
something related of what we just did with your product but you gonna be doing this directly with your actual store For example this client store name is called Quick Start So this is totally bad because we wanted to go into edit and we want to make sure that everybody knows we are selling snow boats
4:10
So if, let's see, for example, my store is called milk. I can change it or I can just improve this, this store name
4:18
So for example, milk, buy. So this can be helping a lot, but truly, truly a lot
4:23
to appear more, more into the other side of the Google. So now, get into Save, of course
4:29
And now let's go into the actual next spot, which is the apps and sales channel
4:34
The actual sales channel of your social networks, you'll be helping us to incentivize a little bit more to CEO into your actual Shopify store
4:42
So if you haven't asked your Facebook channel or your Instagram channel, you can do this directly into apps and sales channel and hit into your Facebook and Instagram
4:51
So once you install this, which is totally free, you just need to import your actual accounts
4:57
and then later on you can get started by just reviewing the sales channel inside the meta business suit of both social networks
5:06
which in this case, now that we are talking about this actual field, you can do exactly the same thing directly into Google and the YouTube
5:12
So this sales channel can be helping you to improve a little bit more your sales directly into Google
5:18
For example, if I go and open up in my new tab, so we can go for snowboards
5:23
Once again, and if I focused into shopping section, you can see that
5:27
we have a lot of products that we can buy from different places. So if you added your Google
5:32
and YouTube sales channel and start by importing your products directly into Shopify
5:37
you should be appearing to the very first page when somebody click into snowboards or
5:42
well, depending on what you're actually selling. So this can be helping you a lot to improve
5:46
your CEO. And lastly, what I would be showing you are going to go back is to add your first
5:52
block into Shopify. Creating a block is going to be helping your actual store
5:57
to improve to add value, to bring value into what you actually selling and to bring more information to your store and into Google so they can be understanding what you actually selling So if you going to the left part that says online store
6:10
I'm going to click into blog post. And into blocked, you can get started by creating a blog post
6:17
and I can get started with my very first blocked, in my case since we are selling snowboards
6:22
We can talk about, try to talk about an action field that you're actually willing to talk about
6:29
to have a really, really great point of view, add your own content, and you can add your actual
6:35
search indeed listing preview. You can edit your actual website, CEO here. For example
6:40
top 10 snowbot is in 23. You can add your own description and the URL and handle should be
6:46
appearing like this. And the last thing that I can recommend you into Shopify is to add your first
6:52
booster of CEO. You need to find a actual plan that is totally free. For example, there is
6:58
boost to CEO. This one comes with a free plan available but only has one day free trial
7:03
So you want to make sure that you find the one that has an actual free plan. Not seven day
7:09
free trial, not 14 day free trial. You want to find the one that's free plan available only
7:15
So once you find the right for you, once you have, check it out that it actually has
7:19
several great ratings and great reviews. You should add the actual application and let the
7:24
application do their actual owned directly into your Shopify. store. So with that being said, guys, we have now reached into the very end of the video so you
7:33
guys now know a little bit about CEO into your actual Shopify store. So hopefully this was
7:38
