Subject: How to make SEO less of a mystery

You spend hours on your social media accounts: editing photos, writing captions and optimizing for sales. Social media is a very effective selling tool for many online niches.

But there’s another strategy that is even better: SEO. It’s a little more complicated than posting to Facebook or Instagram, but most shoppers use online search when they’re ready to buy.
