The Top 7 Shopify Apps To Grow Your Business in 2021

E-commerce has seen an immense boost within the last year and a half. Numerous merchants have turned to an e-commerce giant Shopify to build their online presence and keep up with the market demand. Just a month after the pandemic peaked in March 2020, the number of new stores in Shopify grew by 62%.

One of the reasons Shopify has become a preferred e-commerce platform is that it offers many opportunities (plug-ins and apps) for beginners and professionals alike to enhance and promote their online stores.

With thousands of apps to choose from, it’s possible to get started with a dropshipping business, add customer reviews, improve marketing strategies, boost customer support, add AI chatbot software, and much more.

We have highlighted 7 of the best Shopify apps based on their reviews, ratings and potential that merchants can add to their store – both for advancing their workflow and also boosting their overall customer experience.

Creating an effective PPC campaign is not an easy task, no matter how many times you have done so. From keyword research to product ads and landing page creation, creating a successful PPC campaign is time-consuming and entails a lot of hard work.

Thankfully, Google has come up with several impressive PPC tools that have reduced the amount of time and work that you initially had to put into creating such campaigns. So, if you are an advertiser who has to deal with PPC campaigns of your company or your clients, then this article is for you!

With the potential to generate $40 for every $1 spent, a number that far outweighs its nearest rivals, it’s no surprise that a well-stocked, carefully-curated email list is the ultimate prize for ecommerce marketers everywhere.

But while we all want an endless source of targeted and highly engaged email subscribers, a lucrative goose that lays golden eggs of revenue, actually building a great email list is much easier said than done.

In this article, we’ll discuss some email list-building best practices, learn what you should avoid during the process, and present some useful, easy-to-implement tactics for getting your list off the ground and crafting it into the revenue-driving machine that it promises to be.

But first, let’s cover a few basics.

In the last decade, eCommerce has reshaped the modern marketing scene. Shopping online has become the new normal for the digital native consumer and Ad-targeting is quickly shifting from our shop windows to our social media pages in an attempt to grasp a new digitally connected demographic.

After Covid-19 shut the doors of many leading brick and mortar retailers in 2020, the number of e-commerce based retailers have only increased, shifting from just 19% in February 2020 to over 35% in just a year.

As trends continue to shift post-pandemic, the return of in-store consumer traffic will majorly depend on the ever-changing growth and development of the eCommerce market and how business leaders handle the demand to create strong direct-to-consumer connections going forward.

As the competitiveness of eCommerce continues to ramp up, the obvious solution may be to join the growing digital train and create a personal CRM app, but before you hang the closed sign on the shop door, it’s time to evaluate the pros and cons of entering the online retail experience. As a side note, here is a list of personal CRM tools you could consider.

Google Search Ranking Drop Quadrant

“Sean, I can’t find my site ranking anymore in the Top 10 in Google for ‘florida luxury homes’. What happened to my search rankings suddenly? Why have my Google rankings fallen so dramatically!”

“Why has traffic to my site suddenly dropped? I can’t find my site anywhere on Google?! What’s happening?”

Ask anyone who’s worked in the field of SEO for more than a couple of years and it’s more likely than not that he/she would’ve got an email like this from a client. You could find yourself in the same boat at any time and you want to be best prepared for it!

The world of SEO is complex and always subject to change. Nowadays, it’s become a fine art and requires a balance of both technical and creative strategies.

Implementing Topical Mapping to Regain Lost Google Search Rankings

Implementing topical mapping in your SEO strategy is an excellent way to regain lost Google search rankings. Topical maps represent the interconnectedness and relevance of various topics, subtopics, and keywords within your website content. They help visualize the structure of your content and ensure it aligns with search engine expectations.

When applying the principles of the “Rank Drop Quadrant” to your SEO recovery efforts, topical mapping can offer significant assistance. A well-structured website with clear topical mapping helps search engine crawlers to better understand your site, which can enhance your search ranking.

If the quadrant analysis points to keyword issues, topical maps can also help identify which keywords are most relevant to your website’s main topic and subtopics. By examining how these keywords are linked and how relevant they are to your overall content, you can adjust your keyword usage to improve your website’s SEO.

In cases where content quality has been identified as the culprit behind your rankings drop, a topical authority map can highlight content gaps or redundancies. This gives you the opportunity to improve the quality of your content by adding more depth to your existing topics or by exploring new, relevant subtopics. Ultimately, the visualization and insights provided by topical mapping can guide your efforts to regain your lost Google search rankings.

Google updates its search algorithm multiple times in a year with possible incremental changes happening every day. As an example, way back in February 2012, they made 40 updates to their algorithm within a single month.

Here’s an infographic on the 9 Major Google Algorithm Updates Every SEO Webmaster Must Know.

So, you see, there’s a lot of scope for change, and as such, it stands to reason that there are always random fluctuations in the SERPs. It happens all the time: one day your rankings are sky-high, and a few days later, you drop a dozen or so positions and your revenue starts to plummet.

How should you price your SEO services?

Step 1: Pitch Better

If you do a Google Search for the perfect “SEO agency pitch” or “SEO proposal templates for clients“, you get over 3 million search results all claiming to have the magic formula for the ‘perfect pitch’. Being an ex-agency man myself, I can tell you that there’s no such thing. Successful pitches are done by agencies that don’t do one thing extraordinarily well, they do 10 things better than the competition. Here’s what I recommend.

To start with, here’s what a pitch typically looks like from both parties p.o.v.

SEO Agency Pitch

Even a fresh-faced intern can see the difference. I’ve seen agencies put in tremendous effort in developing the pitch. Collecting every scrap of information possible and spending agonizing hours on revision after revision only to lose the pitch in the end. So what’s going wrong? Is data not important?

We all do re-targeting in some way or the other. But are we doing it all wrong? Showing banners of your main product is fine but your users already visited your site and weren’t that interested at the time, what’s going to change their mind now? There might be a smarter way to look at re-targeting.

Sameer Panjwani covers a re-targeting tip that can help you look at re-targeting in another way.

When we launched Pay-As-You-Go back in September 2016, we were convinced that greater value was the need of the hour. Having spent over 11 years in this industry, we’ve tried and used nearly every tool set from every company there is. The one takeaway that we most commonly got was the lack of flexibility. That’s where Mondovo’s pay-as-you-go model came in. We gave our users the flexibility to pay for just the reports they needed when they needed them.

Post launch, for the most part, we were successful. Mondovo gained more traction in a few months than it did in the entire year or so preceding it. However, what became clear was the business model was not sustainable because revenues were not predictable.

We do still want to offer the same value proposition that we’ve offered thus far and yet do it in a manner that’s sustainable in the long-run. We can only continue to give you better data and tools if we’re growing ourselves. Hence the impending change of moving over to a subscription based model BUT based on the same pay-as-you-go concept.

So, if you’ve been a user of our tool, everything would work in the same way, with the sole difference being that there will be a minimum monthly fee.

We are still going to be the most affordable toolset available. Our pricing and feature set remain unmatched.
