Hi @EverydayVill4in,

This is Victor from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App

I'd like to suggest some ideas on how to get more traffic so you can try: 

1. Optimize SEO 

Optimizing your Shopify store in terms of SEO will allow your website to rank higher in search results pages, which allows more potential customers to see and click on your website.

1. Implement relevant keywords into the content of your online store.
2. Write blog posts with topics that are relevant to your products and industry, then link these blog posts to relevant product pages. 
3. Encourage other credible websites to link back to your online store. 
4. Utilize Shopify’s built-in SEO features to better optimize your content. 
5. As suggested by Shopify, “add your sitemap.xml to Google Search Console, so that your online store website can be easily crawled and indexed.”

2. Recreate your Shopify store on Facebook 

1.96 billion users worldwide surf around on Facebook feeds every day, so it's such a golden chance for us to target customers on Facebook and improve sales.

You can connect your Shopify store to Facebook or even Instagram with the help of this guide https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-sales-channels/facebook-instagram-by-meta/setup

3. Amp Up Your Email Marketing 

Email marketing is one of the most effective channels for encouraging more sales and improving customer retention. Also, email is an effective eCommerce marketing channel as it offers many occasions to contact your customers. You might consider welcome email or promotional email to begin with.

4. Launch a blog section

Let's create content pieces on the topics that appeal to your target audience. Include strong call-to-actions in each content piece to direct visitors back to your products. Don’t over-promote your products, though. Educating and nurturing your to-be customers should be your primary objectives for content creation.

Hope my answer helps.

Best regards,
