Hello Everyone,
I'm looking for honest and constructive feedback on my store. It just went live few minutes ago and I'm still working on advertising... Please share the good, the bad and the ugly truth about my site.
Thank you for any replies and feedback in advance.

Hey @Heightlength,
A big congratulations on the launch of your store! I've taken a look through and have some feedback for you.
SEO
One very important piece of selling is getting the right kind of traffic to your store, your target audience (high traffic is not a good thing if it is the wrong kind of traffic). Good SEO will help you reach your intended audience organically. By default, Shopify will pull your product titles and descriptions and use that as your SEO (that is what is happening in your case). You don't want to leave your SEO to default, you want to make sure you include the same words that a person trying to find your product would search in Google. We created a video walking you through how to do your SEO that you can watch here:
REVIEWS
I would highly recommend that you encourage your customers to leave a review on the products they purchase. Positive reviews are very valuable, they add a lot of trust to your store. We did a video showing a free review app you can use and how to set it up:
SALES CHANNELS
I’d recommend utilizing Shopify’s sales channels for your social media pages. This is going to allow you to tag products that you post on your social media and then have that tag lead to your store. Here is how to implement it for Facebook and Instagram.
CURRENCY CONVERTER
I’d recommend adding in a currency converter. Here is a video we did showing some free currency converter app options:
PRODUCTS
As you know, clothing can be purchased offline in hundreds retail stores as well as online through thousands and thousands of online stores. When a person is searching for a pair of yoga pants or biker shorts in Google, big companies with massive marketing budgets are who is showing up in search results and who you are competing with for customers (ie. Amazon, Old Navy, Aerie, Lululemon etc.).
Now, a person can complete IF they give people a reason to purchase from them vs. the other guys. An example of this might be someone who sells locally, their "reason" as to why you should purchase from them vs the other guy is because they are local and a lot of people are passionate about shopping local. In addition to this, they can also get products to their customers faster and can offer incentives such as free local delivery.
I would think about all your "whys" and what sets you apart and use that in your marketing and in the text in your store.
SHIPPING
The shipping cost is a little high, I would either up the product cost to absorb some of that cost or look at ways to lower your shipping costs.
I will leave it at that for now but if you would like to talk to us 1-1, we offer sessions where we take a look at your store, identify the greatest issues holding you back, then provide solutions and advice. You can email us at ecomgeeksco@gmail.com for more information.
We hope our response was helpful, if it was, let us know by giving us a thumbs up and/or marking it as a solution!
Best of luck!

Hi @Heightlength,
Looks beautiful, you need to add:
1. Testimonials Sections to homepage
2. Import Some product reviews
3. Popup Newsletter
4. Static tabs under each product (Like Size chart) as it's a clothing shop it will be useful for buyers.
Overall it's a really nice shop.
Best of luck with your business.
thank you,

Thank you EcomGeeks for your feedback. I will definitely review and update accordingly. If you don't mind me asking why did you post the home page content in your comment? Do you have any specific feedback about the entire home page or some part of the home page so that I focus my update on? I'm just trying to understand the content of your post as this is my first here. Thanks again.
