How To Optimize Product Pages in WooCommerce for SEO October 13, 2023at 21:28 pm By: James Byrne After Dark Grafx SEO – How To Rank Product Pages in WooCommerce Have you ever wondered why your product pages are not getting listed in the search engines from your WooCommerce website? In this video I’m going to show you how to optimize your Woocommerce product pages so that they are able to get listed on Google and other search engines utilizing the correct white hat search engine optimization techniques. By following this SEO (search engine optimiztion) guideline on how to optimize product pages for your shopping cart you will be able to easily get your products listed with Google. This video does not cover Google Merchant Center, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, WooCommerce Setup, Rank Math SEO Plugin or the YOAST SEO Plugin, rather, we will be covering how to utilize the Rank Math SEO Plugin to help optimize your WooCommerce Product Pages to rank higher in the search engines. There are many factors that go into optimizing your website for SEO to get listed in the search engines that include but not limited to; setting up Google Analytics or Other analytics tool to track performance, Google or Other Search Console or Webmaster Tools to find and fix errors, find keyword queries and other as well as Keyword research performed by Google Ads Keyword Search Tool or utilizing another service like WEBCEO, SEMRush, Ahrefs or other services. Couple this with ON PAGE SEO and OFF PAGE SEO as well as PPC (pay per click advertising including retargeting) and a strong social media marketing strategy will put you ahead of your competition and help you reap the benefits that this type of marketing medium offers. If you install Rank Math SEO Plugin, All In One SEO Plugin, or YOAST SEO Plugin on your WordPress website, they will come with the option to automatically create a sitemap.xml file that will need to be submitted to Google and other engines so that they pick up and “index” (get your site listed). If you sign up for Google Search Console (ie: https://search.google.com/search-console/) you will be able to remit your sitemap directly to Google for indexing. Note: you will need to verify your website with Google Search Console first. Once your website is verified with Google Search console, head over to SITEMAPS on the left, then paste in your sitemap.xml file. Some of the plugins above have different file names for the sitemap.xml file. Some are index_sitemap.xml, sitemap.xml, etc. so see the plugins settings and then test the url directly by pasting it into the browser to see what comes up. It it is showing sitemap.xml, type in https://YOUR-WEBSITE-HERE.com/sitemap.xml and you should see whatever is in the sitemap. In some cases, there are other files within the sitemap that should also be remitted.

Thank you for choosing After Dark Grafx to design and custom develop an eCommerce solution built into WooCommerce for your business success. Coast 2 Coast Lighting Co was in need of a new online brand identity and decided that it was time to move away from their current platform. They were interested in Migrating from Miva Merchant to WooCommerce. At first, they did not know which platform to choose for the migration. There are many platforms to choose from including but not limited to; Shopify, BigCommerce, X-Cart and more. After several discussions and consultations on the needed functionality of their new site and what their old website was lacking, we chose WordPress/WooCommerce for this implementation. WooCommerce allowed for easy migration of data from Miva to WooCommerce to include products, customers, previous orders and other pertinent data. And flexible enough to implement custom code to perform tasks that the prior system was either to costly or unable to do. With the addition of some free and paid plugins along with the excellent web development skills of After Dark Grafx, we were able to achieve all of their requests and then some. It is important not to attempt a Migration away from Miva merchant to other platforms before speaking to a professional WooCommerce Expert who is also a Miva Expert, Shopify Expert, Big Commerce Expert, Payment Processing Expert and has your ultimate goal in mind. Like AfterDarkGrafx.com. There are many pros and cons to each eCommerce platform so it is best to use the one that is best suited for your business needs. Some questions you may ask a designer/developer before migrating eCommerce platforms: a) Will you be able to easily update the products, categories, images b) Wi ll you be able to update the actual pages of the website c) Will your data migrate over and will you lose any data d) Will your customers be able to login to the new platform? If so, what is the process? e) Wil l the new eCommerce platform hook into my current BOOKS program, CRM Program or other software you may have used with the previous vendor. f) Will my payment processor work with the new platform? If not, do they offer their own processing? g) What other payment types can I add? (ie: Paypal, Stripe, Authorize Net, Apple Pay and more.) h) How much downtime will I have for my website? i) What about email?

Worldwide Performance Parts – New Design & Migration from Magento 1.9 to WooCommerce April 14, 2021at 22:38 pm By: James Byrne After Dark Grafx After Dark Grafx announces the re-launch of Store.WorldwidePerformance1.com – Off Road Performance Parts. Thank you for choosing After Dark Grafx to design and develop a new eCommerce website for you. Worldwide Performance Parts contacted After Dark Grafx over 10 years ago to develop a new website for their business. We initially created a new eCommerce website for them using Magento 1.x at that time and migrated data from Miva Merchant to Magento. Magento was the perfect solution for what this client wanted to do. Unfortunately, migrating from Magento 1.9 to Magento 2.x is not an easy task. The developers of Magento fell short when it came to transitioning from their base platform into a newly recoded v2 platform without offering an easy to use migration utility to maintain their clients. Hence, the new website. This client needed hundreds of options for products for their needs and Shopify and other solutions were not going to work out. We ended up designing and developing their new eCommerce wesbite in WordPress with WooCommerce as the shopping cart. We were able to export Magento data, images, etc. and import them into WooCommerce with the help of 3 plugins. This was the largest hurdle but these plugins enabled us to easily port over all of their data from Magento 1.9x. If you need to Migrate from Magento to WooCommerce and need some help, please contact us. After completing this website, we created several videos to help this client understand WooCommerce Ordering Process as well as How To Edit a Website with Elementor (WYSIWYG) editor. “After Dark Grafx built another website for us.
