SEO Advice for New Online Store w/ New Brands

I’m working on a relatively new Shopify store selling children’s toys. All the lines of toys under each brand are all manufactured and sold by the same entity. >> That means there is basically zero visibility or demand for these brands since they’re all very new.

I keep an eye on onsite SEO basics and attend to issues that arise in GSC & Ahrefs, but I don’t think we have enough traffic for that to matter.

We’re beginning SEO efforts NOW by purchasing 8 curated links for month-1 to support “online toy store,” leading to the homepage. I expect to review what the vendor provides in a couple weeks.

We have a modest blog that our CEO is NOT interested in writing more content for, but I continue to tinker with AI content generation and optimization tools with the posts we have. We ranked ~60 for “best toys for Christmas” for a holiday post I did last year that I kept revising, which has now been lost completely. I’m not a pro SEO, so it takes me a lot of time to attempt optimization for a single blog post.

The main challenge here is that I can’t glom onto the products for related terms because they are unknown to the public. That leaves me with very competitive generic terms, like “online toy store,” so I’m setting my sights on that to start, beginning to build links as mentioned above.

Organic traffic hovers between 340-400 visits/mo. now. Ahrefs puts our domain rating at 30.

Let me know if anyone has suggestions for significant organic rank improvement, using my intermediate-ish SEO experience. If there’s something more extreme/elaborate that would be a better use of time, please share. Everything ramps up in Q4.

Sorry I don't have a more direct question, but there are so many moving parts, I'm just not sure where to focus my energy. Thanks in advance.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
