Announcing: A New Website to Foster Ecommerce Discovery
Hi /r/EcommerceSEO shop owners, your moderator here.
One thing that has become apparent during the pandemic is that Google, Facebook, and Instagram are not adequate dicovery vectors for consumers to find new ecommerce shops they might like. While each has their own unique value, consumers need something more, a guide of shops that may be worth their time.
To help faciliate this I've created Magellan Commerce, a blog built to curate stories from ecommerce entrepreneurs about their stores, their goals, and the products they sell.
A few months back I began asking friends and family if they would like a website like this, and most said yes. As of right now we have a little over 200 people already signed up to an email list to get notified when we talk about a new ecommerce store. I am putting my own money into growing this email newsletter over the following months in hopes of helping get small online retailers more visibility as they battle giants like Amazon and Walmart, platforms like Facebook and Google, and a global pandemic.
HOW IT WORKS
An ecommerce shop has to be nominated by someone who fills out the Nomination Form. Yes, at this time we are allowing you to nominate your own store.
Editors of the site (myself included) will review the nominations to ensure they likely meet our criteria for publication.
We will contact or attempt to reach the owner of a nominated and approved ecommerce store and send them a form to fill out with interview questions, provide links to graphics we can use, and give room to tell the story of their shop.
Once we publish the profile of a store we will push it out to our email subscribers and work to drive visitors to the website.

FAQs
Q: Is this a free service?
A: Yes - 100% free of charge and always will be.
Q: Will this increase my sales?
A: Our hope is that over time profiling sites on Magellan Commerce helps increase sales. We'll do our best to keep telling people about your store as we grow.
Q: Why are you doing this?
A: This year has shown just how dominant Amazon is in the Ecommerce marketplace and instead of helping small retailers most platforms have made it harder to reach their audience (Facebook, Google, Instagram, TikTok, etc...) and instead are seeking to profit themselves by competing with Amazon directly. Magellan Commerce is purpose-built to help drive discovery without the need for getting visibility in those platforms and without needing to rank first in a Google or Bing search.
Q: Will you promote the stores in this subreddit?
A: No - This subreddit is about SEO, though we may build a discovery subreddit as we progress.
Q: Will this help my store's SEO?
A: No idea. That's not the intention though. We do include editorially selected links in our profiles without using any restrictive attributes. If a store feels fishy or doesn't match our guidelines it will not have a profile published. We will depublish profiles for any shops we find no longer following our guidelines in the future.
Q: Can I pay to have my affiliate store listed?
A: No. We do not accept payment or sponsored posts at this time. If we do accept those in the future they will not gain editorially selected links and they will be clearly labeled. However, for now, that is not a consideration and there are no plans to do this at all.

Finding influencers for your brand in the customer list, has anyone tried this ?
We've got around 15,000 customers and I only just realized some of them might already be creators in our niche, which is pretty exciting. Finding influencers for your brand among people who already buy from makes sense, I just have no idea how you do it without manually searching thousands of names.
Has anyone tried customer-list matching, and did it turn up people you'd actually want to work with?

How do you enrich your product catalog data for ecommerce?
Hi everyone,
I work in the commerce industry and we are struggling so hard with catalogs we receive from our suppliers.
Or the data quality is really poor or the multi format catalogs (PDF, CSV, Excel,etc.) from each suppliers with their own headers, structure and sometimes metrics make it really on our side to structure.
I’m currently working on an home made product data enrichment solution but would be interested in any tool or solutions or even workflows people use to stop wasting so much time on this.
Thanks!

A Shopify store with 50 products showed up as 422 pages in our audit. Here’s why, and what we changed.

The hardest part of blogging with a large catalog isn't the writing, it's picking the products and photos
I've been looking at how stores with large catalog handle their blogs. With over 100 products and five photos each, that's over 500 images to choose from for every post. The part that's most tedious, is picking the products and images.
So, a couple of weeks ago I asked how store owners with large catalogs handle product blog posts and got great feedback.
Here are some takeaways:
- The writing isn't the slow part. Everything around the products is. (if the intent is to scale). For every post you have to pick a couple of products that actually fit the topic, and the right photo of each.
- Then the links within the content: the product links, collection links, your brand link, and each photo linked to its product.
- Then the images themselves: alt text, an image title, each photo placed next to the paragraph that talks about it, and not the same photo you used in the last three posts.
That's the work that gets skipped when the week gets busy, and it's usually where the quality drops.
What helped some store owners to an extent:
- Start from a shopper question, not a product. A question around a category or collection narrows hundreds of products down to a few dozen real questions.
- Pick by sales data when you have it
- Link the collection, so the post still works when an item sells out.
The part that still doesn't get easier is picking the products unless we hire a developer.
After burning through my time and energy handling this for my stores, I am building a tool that handles this pain to automate this fully to a point where the whole process is done in less than a min. It's not perfect yet and I am still learning and optimizing for best outcomes.
If you run a store with a large catalog, how big of a pain is this to you? And how do you get around it?

I analyzed the technical backend of multiple WooCommerce & Shopify stores. Here are the 3 silent issues killing their conversion rates.
Most store owners spend heavy ad budgets driving traffic to their site, only to see high bounce rates and low conversion rates. They usually assume it's a design or copywriting issue, but in most cases, the leak is purely technical.
After running deep technical audits on several stores, I kept seeing the exact same three hidden bottlenecks:
1. Slow TTFB (Time to First Byte) A lot of stores look fast once loaded, but the initial server response takes 3+ seconds. On mobile devices, this causes users to bounce before the page even renders. Usually, this is caused by database bloat, unoptimized transients, or cheap shared hosting.
2. Broken JSON-LD Schema Markup Without proper Schema data, search engines and Google Shopping cannot read product prices, stock availability, or reviews correctly. This leads to rejected product feeds or low visibility on shopping ads.
3. High JS Friction on Mobile Checkouts Non-critical tracking scripts (pixels, heatmaps, pop-ups) loading on the checkout page often block the main thread. On mobile, this makes the "Place Order" button unresponsive for several seconds, leading to immediate cart abandonment.
Stop guessing and installing more plugins to fix speed or conversion issues. Look under the hood of your store first.
Happy to answer any technical questions in the comments if you're dealing with feed errors or slow load times!
