● Compelling Product Descriptions: Enhanced content by rewriting product descriptions, focusing on SEO-driven keywords while maintaining the brand’s refined voice, ensuring higher engagement and visibility.

3. Analytics & Performance Tracking:

● Integrating Data Insights: Set up Google Analytics and Google Search Console for tracking user behavior, providing actionable insights to continuously improve the website’s performance and SEO strategy.
