This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.

SEO optimization features require Website Integration version 0.4.3 or later.

Adding the Website Integration comes with improvements to your site's SEO out of the box. These improvements focus on enabling your users to search for sub-pages of a Website Integration. This search specificity will increase the breadth of search terms that will find content on your site. It also increases the chances that your site is the most relevant to the user's search terms.

Our improvements also increase the number of pages detected by search engine crawlers on your site, thereby improving your page's overall SEO. You can create different groupings (pages) of your inventory items based on their tags (e.g., you can create a "lounge" page and a "weddings" page). Having a high number of internal pages increases the relevance of your pages to a wider variety of search terms. It will also indicate your page is “higher value” to search engine crawlers, making it much more likely to appear in search engine results.

The Website Integration will treat each category and group of a standard <gspro-item-gallery> as a unique page, contributing to the benefits described above.

You can also allow different filtering settings when people use the search bar within the Website Integration—they can search for the attributes you assign to your items, such as color and size. This is beneficial for SEO because you are more likely to appear in search results when someone searches "gold chiavari chairs", as your Website Integration contains those keywords.

We even create unique structured data for each item detail page that a user clicks on. Putting this unique item slug in metadata allows users to search for specific items and improves your site's SEO as a whole.

We are also making use of Rich Results. You may have noticed Rich Results in your own searching, for e.g., movies or recipes. Rich results, with their enhanced visibility features, should make your site much more noticeable on search engine results.

Please note that it can sometimes take many weeks for SEO changes to be reflected in search engine results.
