Thanks man... Yeah, I was trying to make it more practical to use. Not sure how good it is though, haha.

You are welcome!

Yeah, I think every startup should go through one stage where they do cold-calling. You learn a LOT.

Yep, totally agree. The more you plan for the launch, the better results you're going to get.

90% of the results are determined by what you do MONTHS before you actually launch.

Exactly. I think a lot of people kind of rush into it and only after the launch fails realize that they needed so much more prepration.

No problem man. I'd say about a month. Struggled a bit with formatting it tbh :D

On: Getting all the SEO settings right in Magento 2

[noelceta]

Nice read, thanks! Was planning on giving Magento a try.

Really wonder what's going to happen to the Magento platform? Do you think Adobe's going to merge it with the product suite at some point?

[stevenvanvessum → noelceta]

I think that's what Adobe will do yeah in, say 4-5 years from now.

Already, they're actively pushing customers to their Cloud solution which is a big step away from a self-hosted environment.

Yep, a good product / service and happy customers can take you a looooong way. If your product sucks, no traffic in the world is going to make it work.

But that doesn't mean that SEO is useless. We might be biased, but there are a ton of benefits - traffic, leads, brand awareness, etc.

Agreed! For the most part, anyway. If you can create content that 1) can go viral or get a ton of shares, and 2) at the same time, be created with a specific keyword in mind, you'll get amazing results real fast.

Unfortunately, that's not really something you can do for a lot of industries or niches. But when it does work, it works!

yeah, haha. It's super meta - we're trying to get this article to rank on "SEO case study." It will probably take a while since the domain is pretty new, but we'll get there.

As for which keywords to focus on, our rule of thumb is, find one of your competitors that's winning with their SEO, and borrow their ideas. In most industries, if you combine the keywords from your top 3-5 competitors, your keyword strategy is gonna be pretty comprehensive. As for the "how," just run your competitor's website through SEMrush or Ahrefs, and voila!
