Email Marketing & Automation

Automated Email Campaigns & Customer Retention

Fixed Shopify’s default H2 issue, where the platform automatically assigns “Add to Cart” as an H2, disrupting SEO hierarchy and readability.
Reconfigured Shopify’s default heading structure by modifying the code to allow full control over H1, H2, and H3 tags. For instance, Shopify automatically sets collection banners as H3, but this was manually adjusted to H1 for better SEO impact and accessibility. These modifications were applied across the entire site, eliminating Shopify’s rigid structure and providing greater flexibility in page design.
Integrated third-party apps to enhance site speed, customer engagement, and conversion rates.
Added Product Metafields to dynamically pull on-page descriptions, ensuring more detailed and accurate product information.
Implemented a custom-coded collapsible row section, which only appears when relevant fields contain information. This allows for a fully customizable product description area, giving merchants greater control over content presentation.

Enhanced the overall user experience, making product pages more dynamic, structured, and SEO-friendly, while ensuring faster load times and better usability for customers.These technical enhancements resulted in a more flexible, high-performing Shopify store, ensuring better search engine indexing, improved page structure, and enhanced user experience, ultimately driving higher engagement and conversions.
