Search engine optimization for Shopware shops differs fundamentally from SEO for conventional websites. Online shops must not only rank for relevant keywords, but also offer an optimal user experience that leads to conversions. <\/p>\n

Current statistic:<\/strong> Over 40% of all e-commerce traffic comes directly from Google. A non-optimized Shopware shop therefore potentially loses almost half of its possible visitors and sales. <\/p>\n

The competition in e-commerce is particularly intense, as almost every product category is highly competitive. A professionally optimized Shopware 6 shop can gain significant competitive advantages here, as the platform already offers many SEO-friendly functions. However, these must be professionally configured and continuously optimized in order to exploit their full potential. <\/p>\n

Shopware SEO Compared to other Shop Systems<\/h2>\n

Compared to other e-commerce platforms such as Magento, WooCommerce or Shopify, Shopware offers some unique advantages for search engine optimization. The platform is optimized for performance from the ground up and offers native functions such as Varnish-Caching<\/strong>, ElasticSearch integration<\/strong> and advanced URL configuration options<\/strong>. These technical basics are crucial for the loading speed<\/strong>, which in turn is an important ranking factor for Google. <\/p>\n

Market position:<\/strong> In Germany, Shopware remains the market leader with a market share of over 30% among medium-sized online shops, while international distribution has increased by 78% since 2022. This growing community ensures continuous improvements and innovations in the SEO area. <\/p>\n

Shopware 6 also offers a modern, API-first architecture<\/strong> that is optimized for both traditional and headless e-commerce approaches. This makes it possible to achieve optimal performance even with complex shop structures, which is of enormous importance for SEO. <\/p>\n

The Three Pillars of Successful Shopware SEO<\/h2>\n

For a successful Shopware SEO strategy, three basic pillars must be considered:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Technical basis:<\/strong> The technical infrastructure that helps search engines find and understand your website quickly and efficiently. This includes URL structure, loading times, Core Web Vitals and technical usability. <\/li>\n
  • Relevance & Keywords:<\/strong> The content focus on search queries for which your products and content are relevant. This requires the creation of useful and satisfying content for visitors and search engines. <\/li>\n
  • Authority & Popularity:<\/strong> Links to your website that determine your authority and trustworthiness, multiplied by the time you are consistently on the market with your website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Practical example:<\/strong> A medium-sized furniture retailer was able to increase its organic traffic by 143% within six months by systematically optimizing all three pillars. In particular, the improvement of the technical basis by adapting the URL structure and optimizing the loading times led to an immediate ranking boost for over 60% of the product pages. <\/p>\n

    Technical SEO Basics in Shopware 6<\/h2>\n

    The technical infrastructure of your Shopware shop is the foundation of any successful SEO strategy. A clean technical base ensures that search engines can efficiently crawl, index and understand your content. <\/p>\n

    Optimal URL Structure in Shopware 6<\/h3>\n

    The URL structure<\/strong> forms the foundation of every successful Shopware SEO strategy. Shopware 6 offers extensive options for configuring SEO-friendly URLs via the SEO settings in the backend under Settings > Shop > SEO<\/em>. Here, various SEO URL Templates<\/strong> can be defined for different page types. <\/p>\n

    The standard template for product detail pages is, for example, {{ product.translated.name }}\/{{ product.productNumber }}<\/code>. However, this configuration is not optimal, as product numbers are not very meaningful for search engines and users. <\/p>\n

    Optimized URL structure:<\/strong> A better alternative would be a template like: {{ product.manufacturer.name|lower }}\/{{ product.name|lower }}<\/code><\/p>\n

    This leads to URLs such as onlineshop.de\/hersteller\/produktname<\/code>, which are more understandable for both users and search engines.<\/p>\n

    Important:<\/strong> For product variants, the URL structure must be adapted to avoid duplicate content<\/strong>. An extended template could look like this: {{ product.manufacturer.name|lower }}\/{{ product.name|lower }}-{{ product.variation|lower }}<\/code><\/p>\n

    Practical example:<\/strong> An online sports shop implemented the following URL structure for shoe variants:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Nike running shoe Air Zoom (size 41): sportshop.de\/nike\/air-zoom-41<\/code><\/li>\n
    • Nike running shoe Air Zoom (size 42): sportshop.de\/nike\/air-zoom-42<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This led to an improvement in the CTR of 18% and an average position improvement of 3.4 places in the Google search results.<\/p>\n

      The following principles should be observed when optimizing the URL structure:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • All letters should be lowercase<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      • Article numbers<\/strong> should be avoided.<\/li>\n
      • URLs should be short but meaningful<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      • The integration of relevant keywords<\/strong> into the URL is essential.<\/li>\n
      • Each URL must be unique<\/strong>, even for product variants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Configure SEO URL Templates Professionally<\/h4>\n

        The configuration of the SEO URL Templates requires a deep understanding of the available variables and their possible combinations. Shopware 6 offers a variety of variables that can be used in the templates, whereby it should be noted that multi-level variables must be completed manually. <\/p>\n

        Advanced template adjustments (examples):<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          Limiting the URL length:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
          \n

          PHP<\/span><\/p>\n

          <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          \n
          \n
          {{ product.name|length > 50<\/span> ? product.name|slice(0<\/span>, 50<\/span>) : product.name|lower }}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          This limits the product name in the URL to 50 characters.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Removal of special characters:<\/strong><\/p>\n
          \n
          \n
          PHP<\/span><\/p>\n
          <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          \n
          \n
          {{ product.name|replace({' '<\/span>: '-'<\/span>, '&'<\/span>: 'and'<\/span>})|lower }}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          This replaces spaces with hyphens and the & character with “and.”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Include category path:<\/strong><\/p>\n
          \n
          \n
          PHP<\/span><\/p>\n
          <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          \n
          \n
          {{ product.mainCategory.translated.breadcrumb|last }}\/{{ product.name|lower }}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          This creates URLs with the main category as part of the path.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          Important:<\/strong> After making changes to the SEO URL Templates, the command bin\/console dal:refresh:index<\/code> must be executed to regenerate the URLs. Shopware stores both the old and the new URLs in order to handle redirects automatically and preserve link equity. <\/p>\n
          Technical tip:<\/strong> For shops with many products, it is recommended to use a cron job that updates the index regularly:<\/p>\n
          \n
          \n
          Bash<\/span><\/p>\n
          <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          \n
          \n
          0 3 * * * \/usr\/bin\/php \/var\/www\/html\/bin\/console dal:refresh:index --quiet\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          This updates the index daily at 3 a.m. without affecting server performance during peak business hours.<\/p>\n
          Canonical Tags to Avoid Duplicate Content<\/h2>\n
          Duplicate content<\/strong> is one of the biggest challenges in SEO optimization of online shops. In Shopware shops, duplicate content can arise if products are available in several variants, are assigned to several categories or if categories are changed in their structure. Canonical tags<\/strong> are the most important tool to avoid this. <\/p>\n
          Case study:<\/strong> An electronics retailer with over 5,000 products was able to reduce the number of indexed pages in Google by 42% and increase organic traffic by 28% by correctly implementing canonical tags. This shows how important it is to concentrate link power on canonical URLs. <\/p>\n
          Shopware 6 offers native support for canonical tags, which are generated automatically. For more complex requirements, for example with variant products, specialized plugins such as “Flexible Canonical Tags for Products” can be used. These make it possible to set specific canonical tags for products in order to achieve targeted indexing.  <\/p>\n
          Advanced canonical strategy for variant products:<\/strong><\/p>\n
            \n
          • Main product as canonical URL:<\/strong> For product variants (e.g. different colors or sizes), the main product page should be set as the canonical URL.<\/li>\n
          • Independent variants:<\/strong> For significantly different variants that address their own keywords (e.g. “iPhone 15” vs. “iPhone 15 Pro”), separate canonical URLs should be used.<\/li>\n
          • Cross-category products:<\/strong> Products that appear in multiple categories should have a canonical tag to the preferred category URL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            Code example for manual canonical implementation (PHP in a Custom Theme Extension):<\/strong><\/p>\n
            \n
            \n
            PHP<\/span><\/p>\n
            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
            \n
            \n
            \/\/ In einem Custom Theme Extension<\/span>\n\/\/ Achtung: Dies ist ein vereinfachtes Beispiel und erfordert eine entsprechende Integration in das Shopware-Framework<\/span>\n$event<\/span>->getPage()->getMetaInformation()->setCanonical(\n    $this<\/span>->router->generate(\n        'frontend.detail.page'<\/span>,\n        ['productId'<\/span> => $product<\/span>->getId()],\n        UrlGeneratorInterface::ABSOLUTE_URL\n    )\n);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
            The correct implementation of canonical tags not only prevents duplicate content problems, but also helps to concentrate link equity on the most important pages and improve crawling efficiency.<\/p>\n
            Optimize Pagination and Faceted Navigation<\/h2>\n
            Pagination<\/strong> and faceted navigation<\/strong> are critical areas for SEO optimization of Shopware shops that are not optimally configured by default. Incorrect implementation can lead to crawling problems, duplicate content and wasted crawling budget. <\/p>\n
            Best Practice:<\/strong> Use the attributes rel=\"next\"<\/code> and rel=\"prev\"<\/code> for pagination pages to signal the relationship between the pages to Google. Shopware 6 implements these by default, but the implementation should be checked. <\/p>\n
            Example of correct pagination implementation (HTML):<\/strong><\/p>\n
            \n
            \n
            HTML<\/span><\/p>\n
            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
            \n
            \n
            <link<\/span> rel<\/span>=\"next\"<\/span> href<\/span>=\"https:\/\/shop.de\/kategorie\/?p=2\"<\/span>><\/span>\n<link<\/span> rel<\/span>=\"prev\"<\/span> href<\/span>=\"https:\/\/shop.de\/kategorie\/\"<\/span>><\/span>\n\n<link<\/span> rel<\/span>=\"next\"<\/span> href<\/span>=\"https:\/\/shop.de\/kategorie\/?p=3\"<\/span>><\/span>\n<link<\/span> rel<\/span>=\"prev\"<\/span> href<\/span>=\"https:\/\/shop.de\/kategorie\/?p=2\"<\/span>><\/span>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
            A clear strategy should be implemented for faceted navigation (filters):<\/p>\n
              \n
            • Indexable filters:<\/strong> Important filters that serve independent search intentions (e.g. “Red women’s shoes”) should be indexable and receive their own meta data.<\/li>\n
            • Non-indexable filters:<\/strong> Less important or too specific filter combinations should be marked with noindex<\/code> to avoid duplicate content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              Code example for selective indexing of filter combinations (PHP in a Custom Controller Extension):<\/strong><\/p>\n
              \n
              \n
              PHP<\/span><\/p>\n
              <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
              \n
              \n
              \/\/ In einem Custom Controller Extension (vereinfacht)<\/span>\nif<\/span> (count($appliedFilters<\/span>) > 2<\/span> || in_array($appliedFilters<\/span>, $this<\/span>->nonIndexableFilters)) {\n    $page<\/span>->getMetaInformation()->setRobots('NOINDEX,FOLLOW'<\/span>);\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
              Practical example:<\/strong> A fashion retailer implemented a selective indexing strategy for its filter combinations, whereby only the 20 most searched combinations were indexable. This led to a reduction in indexed pages of 76% and an improvement in crawling efficiency of 34%, which resulted in faster indexing times for new products. <\/p>\n
              OnPage Optimization: Content, Structure and Meta Data<\/h2>\n
              OnPage optimization focuses on all elements within your website that you can directly influence to improve your rankings and user experience.<\/p>\n
              Meta Data for Maximum CTR<\/h3>\n
              The optimization of meta data<\/strong> is a fundamental aspect of OnPage optimization for Shopware shops. Title Tags<\/strong> and Meta Descriptions<\/strong> are the first elements that potential customers see in the search results and have a direct impact on the Click-Through-Rate (CTR)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
              Current study:<\/strong> An analysis of 1.4 million search results shows that optimized meta descriptions can increase the CTR by an average of 35.7%. For product pages with price information in the meta description, the CTR even increased by up to 47.3%. <\/p>\n
              Shopware 6 enables the individual adaptation of meta data for each page, category and product. The meta data should contain relevant keywords, but should be formulated naturally and appealingly. <\/p>\n
              Optimal title tag structure for Shopware shops:<\/strong><\/p>\n
                \n
              • Product pages:<\/strong> Example: “Carbon road bike X1 | Lightweight 7.2kg | Trek | BikeProfi”<\/li>\n
              • Category pages:<\/strong> Example: “Women’s fashion: Dresses, blouses & trousers | FashionStore”<\/li>\n
              • Landing pages:<\/strong> Example: “Winter tires (year) | Over 500 models | Compare now | ReifenDirekt”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                Practical tip for meta descriptions:<\/strong> Use emotional triggers, concrete numbers and clear calls to action in meta descriptions. The optimal length is 140-155 characters to avoid cutoffs in the search results. <\/p>\n
                Example of an optimized meta description:<\/strong><\/p>\n
                \n
                Discover over 200 high-quality women’s handbags made of genuine leather. \u2713 30 day return policy \u2713 Free shipping \u2713 5% new customer discount. Shop now!  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                Automation for large shops:<\/strong> For shops with thousands of products, manual optimization of all meta data is not practical. Here it is recommended to use templates with dynamic variables: <\/p>\n
                \n
                \n
                PHP<\/span><\/p>\n
                <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
                \n
                \n
                \/\/ Title-Tag-Template f\u00fcr Produktseiten<\/span>\n$titleTemplate<\/span> = '%product_name% | %main_feature% | Ab %price% \u20ac | %shop_name%'<\/span>;\n\n\/\/ Meta-Description-Template f\u00fcr Produktseiten<\/span>\n$descriptionTemplate<\/span> = 'Kaufen Sie %product_name% in %color_variants% Farben. %main_benefit%. \u2713 %delivery_time% Lieferzeit \u2713 %warranty% Jahre Garantie. Jetzt bestellen!'<\/span>;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
                These templates can then be filled with the specific product data to generate unique and optimized meta data for each product, often via special SEO plugins or custom developments.<\/p>\n
                Product Descriptions and Content Quality<\/h3>\n
                High-quality product descriptions are crucial for the SEO performance of Shopware shops. Many online retailers make the mistake of adopting manufacturer descriptions 1:1, which leads to external duplicate content. Instead, individual, detailed and value-added descriptions should be created that are optimized for both search engines and customers.  <\/p>\n
                Case study:<\/strong> A sporting goods retailer replaced the standard manufacturer descriptions with individually created, detailed descriptions with application examples and expert tips for 500 products. The result: 67% higher organic visibility and 41% more conversions for these products compared to the control group. <\/p>\n
                Structure of an SEO-optimized product description:<\/strong><\/p>\n
                  \n
                • Introductory paragraph with main keyword and USPs<\/li>\n
                • List of the most important properties with H3 headings<\/li>\n
                • Application scenarios and target group<\/li>\n
                • Technical specifications in tabular form<\/li>\n
                • Concluding call-to-action<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                  Important:<\/strong> Use structured data (schema markup)<\/strong> for products to get rich snippets in the search results. Shopware 6 already implements basic product schema, which should often be expanded to display, for example, ratings, delivery times or specific offers and increase visibility in the SERPs. <\/p>\n

                  Blog Integration and Content Marketing<\/h3>\n
                  Shopware offers an integrated blog system that can be used for content marketing<\/strong> and SEO purposes. A regularly maintained blog with high-quality content can strengthen domain authority, cover long-tail keywords and generate additional organic traffic. <\/p>\n
                  Current content marketing trends for Shopware shops:<\/strong><\/p>\n
                    \n
                  • Thematic content clusters:<\/strong> Create comprehensive pillar pages on main topics and link them to more specific articles. This improves thematic relevance and internal linking structure. Example:<\/strong> A pillar page on the topic of “Mountain bike buying advice” links to specific articles such as “Suspension systems compared”, “Carbon vs. aluminum frames” and “Finding the right frame size.” <\/li>\n
                  • Interactive content:<\/strong> Implement product finders, size advisors or configuration tools that help users find the right product and at the same time send valuable user signals to Google.\n
                    \n
                    \n

                  • Expert articles and interviews:<\/strong> Publish interviews with industry experts or guest articles from recognized authorities to strengthen the E-E-A-T signals<\/strong> (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                    Case study:<\/strong> An outdoor outfitter was able to increase the average time spent on its blog by 3:42 minutes and reduce the bounce rate by 24% through monthly expert interviews with well-known mountaineers and trekking guides.<\/p>\n
                    SEO-optimized blog URL structure in Shopware:<\/strong> The standard blog URL structure in Shopware 6 can be adapted via the SEO router settings. For optimal SEO results, the following structure is recommended in the SEO URL Template for blog articles:  {$blogArticle.title|lower}\/<\/code><\/p>\n
                    This leads to clean URLs such as https:\/\/example.com\/blog\/mountainbike-kaufberatung\/<\/code> instead of the standard structure with category path.<\/p>\n
                    Important:<\/strong> Pay attention to consistency in the URL structures. If your product pages end with a trailing slash, your blog article URLs should also end with a trailing slash. <\/p>\n

                    Performance Optimization: Core Web Vitals and Loading Speed<\/h2>\n
                    Google’s Core Web Vitals<\/strong> \u2013 Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) \u2013 are now important ranking factors. Shopware 6 is fundamentally well-optimized for these metrics, but benchmark data shows significant differences between different shop implementations. <\/p>\n

                    Specific Measures to Improve Core Web Vitals in Shopware 6<\/h3>\n
                    Optimize LCP (Largest Contentful Paint)<\/h4>\n
                    The LCP measures the loading time of the largest visible element on a page. The following measures can be taken to improve it: <\/p>\n
                      \n
                    • Implement a progressive image loading method<\/strong> for hero images.<\/li>\n
                    • Use the WebP format<\/strong> for all images.<\/li>\n
                    • Rely on server-side rendering<\/strong> for critical content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                      Code example for optimized image loading (Twig in the Shopware template):<\/strong><\/p>\n
                      \n
                      \n
                      Twig<\/span><\/p>\n
                      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
                      \n
                      \n
                      {# Beispiel f\u00fcr ein progressives Bildladen mit responsiven Bildern und WebP #}<\/span>\n<picture<\/span>><\/span>\n  <\/span>{# WebP-Quelle zuerst, damit moderne Browser dies bevorzugen #}<\/span>\n  <source<\/span> srcset<\/span>=\"<\/span><\/span><\/span>{{ asset('bild.webp')|thumbnail('my_webp_size') }}<\/span>\"<\/span> type<\/span>=\"image\/webp\"<\/span>><\/span>\n  <\/span>{# Fallback f\u00fcr Browser, die WebP nicht unterst\u00fctzen #}<\/span>\n  <img<\/span> src<\/span>=\"<\/span><\/span><\/span>{{ asset('bild.jpg')|thumbnail('my_jpg_size') }}<\/span>\"<\/span>\n       <\/span><\/span>{# data-src f\u00fcr Lazy Loading, falls via JavaScript umgesetzt #}<\/span>\n       data-src<\/span>=\"<\/span><\/span><\/span>{{ asset('bild_gross.jpg') }}<\/span>\"<\/span>\n       alt<\/span>=\"Beschreibung des Hero-Images\"<\/span>\n       width<\/span>=\"1920\"<\/span> height<\/span>=\"1080\"<\/span> <\/span><\/span>{# Explizite Dimensionen f\u00fcr CLS-Vermeidung #}<\/span>\n       loading<\/span>=\"lazy\"<\/span> <\/span><\/span>{# Browser-natives Lazy Loading f\u00fcr Bilder au\u00dferhalb des initialen Viewports #}<\/span>><\/span>\n<\/picture<\/span>><\/span>\n<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
                      This example shows how to use picture<\/code> elements for the WebP format, set width<\/code>\/height<\/code> attributes for CLS avoidance, and use loading=\"lazy\"<\/code> for images outside the initial viewport.<\/p>\n
                      Improve INP (Interaction to Next Paint)<\/h4>\n
                      INP measures the responsiveness of a website to user input (clicks, taps, keyboard input). A good INP ensures a smooth user experience. <\/p>\n
                        \n
                      • Minimize JavaScript bundles<\/strong> through code splitting.<\/li>\n
                      • Implement event delegation<\/strong> instead of many individual event listeners.<\/li>\n
                      • Use web workers<\/strong> for complex calculations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                        Example of event delegation (JavaScript):<\/strong> Instead of assigning an event listener to each individual element, delegate the event to a parent element. This reduces overhead and improves interactivity. <\/p>\n
                        \n
                        \n
                        JavaScript<\/span><\/p>\n

                        \n
                        \n
                        \/\/ Schlechtes Beispiel: Viele Event-Listener (auskommentiert)<\/span>\n\/\/ document.querySelectorAll('.button').forEach(button => {<\/span>\n\/\/     button.addEventListener('click', () => { \/* do something *\/ });<\/span>\n\/\/ });<\/span>\n\n\/\/ Gutes Beispiel: Event-Delegation<\/span>\ndocument<\/span>.getElementById('parentContainer'<\/span>).addEventListener('click'<\/span>, function<\/span>(event<\/span>) <\/span>{\n    if<\/span> (event.target.classList.contains('button'<\/span>)) {\n        \/\/ Logik f\u00fcr den Klick auf einen Button innerhalb des Containers<\/span>\n        console<\/span>.log('Button geklickt:'<\/span>, event.target.textContent);\n    }\n});\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
                        Reduce CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift)<\/h4>\n
                        CLS measures the visual stability of a page and the frequency of unexpected layout shifts.<\/p>\n
                          \n
                        • Define explicit dimensions<\/strong> for all images and video elements.<\/li>\n
                        • Reserve space for dynamically loaded content such as advertisements, embeds, or iFrames.<\/li>\n
                        • Avoid subsequently inserting content above the current viewport.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                          Example of placeholders for dynamic content (CSS):<\/strong> Reserve the necessary space for dynamically loaded elements before they appear to avoid layout shifts.<\/p>\n

                            Other Technical SEO Factors<\/h2>\n
                            In addition to the points already mentioned, there are other technical backend configurations that are essential for search engine optimization.<\/p>\n
                            Optimized Robots.Txt for Shopware 6<\/h3>\n
                            The robots.txt<\/code> is a text file that gives search engine crawlers instructions on which areas of your website they may or may not visit.<\/p>\n

                            XML Sitemap Optimization<\/h3>\n
                            Shopware 6 automatically generates a structured XML sitemap<\/strong>, which is available under the URL \/sitemap.xml<\/code>. The sitemap configuration can be adjusted via Settings > Shop > Sitemap<\/em>. <\/p>\n

                                  Shopware already offers extensive native SEO functions that are sufficient for most use cases. The basic equipment includes SEO URL configuration, meta-data management, automatic sitemap generation, and basic structured data.

The analysis of competitors also led to the identification of content gaps, which were closed by new blog posts in the shop. The result: 34% more organic traffic within three months.    <\/p>\n
