Hi @Sarmoyta, that's a great question! 

There are many ways to increase the traffic into your store and I'd love to share some with you. 

When it comes to apps there are a lot you can use. Check out this great list of the top Shopify apps to increase traffic. Some of the apps have free plans available, and some don't. I suggest checking the reviews and taking advantage of the free trials. You can also check out this Shopify Help Doc about marketing and promotions, which can also increase your website traffic. 

I'm not sure if you're using any other resources to bring in more traffic into your store but if you're not utilizing social media then you're missing out. The best platform I use for free traffic is TikTok. It does take some time to grow your account, but if you remain consistent in posting and post interesting and engaging content, people will visit your website. Please feel free to share your URL so I can take a look at your products and give you some social media marketing ideas.

Hello @Sarmoyta ,

To boost traffic to your Shopify store without incurring additional costs, you can leverage several free and smart apps designed for traffic generation and marketing. There are so many apps like that in the market and here are some recommendations:

• SEO Booster ‑ SEO Marketing: SEO is crucial for driving organic traffic. This app helps optimize your store for search engines, improving visibility and potentially increasing traffic.
• Hootsuite or Buffer (Social Media Management): While these are not Shopify-specific apps, they offer free plans and are great for managing and scheduling social media content. Regular, well-planned posts on social media can drive traffic to your store.
• Mailchimp for Shopify: Email marketing is a powerful tool for driving traffic. Mailchimp offers a free plan that integrates with Shopify, allowing you to send targeted campaigns, newsletters, and automated messages.
• Kit: Kit helps automate your Facebook and Instagram ads, email marketing, and social posts. It acts like a virtual employee, recommending marketing activities based on your store's performance.
• Plug-in SEO: This app checks your store for SEO issues that can affect your traffic and provides simple solutions for fixing them.
• Google Analytics: While not a Shopify app, integrating Google Analytics is free and provides valuable insights into your traffic sources and user behavior, which can inform your traffic-boosting strategies.

Several of these applications offer free plans, while others may not. I recommend exploring the user reviews and making use of any available free trial periods to find the best fit for your needs. Please remember that while these apps can help increase traffic, their effectiveness will largely depend on your active management and marketing strategies. Consistently analyzing performance and tweaking your approach based on data is key to driving and maintaining high traffic levels to your Shopify store.

Additionally, social media is also a great way to drive traffic to your store, it's really an avenue worth considering. TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest are excellent platforms for generating free traffic. Building a following there requires time and commitment to regularly posting content that captivates and engages viewers. If you maintain this consistency with intriguing and interactive posts, it can effectively direct people to your website.
