For more than 15 years, I have been selling handcrafted wooden displays and home decor online. Unfortunately, some of my products are frequently miscategorized, leading search engines to limit my ability to sell my brand on their platforms. Ironically, they still feature my items across their sites. How can I make sure my brand is accurately recognized for what it truly represents?
I truly appreciate your help. I believe that reorganizing the “keywords” in a different way will guide me in the right direction. I might consider seeking out a professional who specializes in that area.
