Brands!?!?!?

Hello,

I am a reseller. So, I buy branded goods from manufacturers and resell them from my shopify store. Here is my problem:

When I am working on SEO, etc., programs are flagging my items telling me that I need to add the brand name in for each of my items. Although, when I set items up in Shopify, there is NO FIELD called “Brand”.

There is a UPC field. There is a description field. There is a vendor name field. You get me…

But why is there not a “Brand” field???

Thank you so much in advance.

Hi @Buckleap

While Shopify doesn’t have a specific “Brand” field, you can effectively represent brand information in a few ways:

1- Product Title:

  • Include the brand name directly in the product title. For example, “Nike Air Force 1”.

2- Product Description:

  • Mention the brand name in the product description. This can be helpful for SEO and providing additional product information.

3 - Vendor:

  • Use the “Vendor” field to specify the brand name. This can be useful for filtering and organizing products by brand.

4- Custom Product Properties:

  • If you need more granular control over brand information, you can use Shopify’s custom product properties feature to create a “Brand” property. However, this might require some technical knowledge or the use of a third-party app.

SEO Considerations:

To ensure your products are properly indexed by search engines, consider these SEO best practices:

  • Unique Product Titles: Use unique and descriptive product titles that include relevant keywords.
  • Detailed Product Descriptions: Write informative product descriptions that include keywords related to the brand and product features.
  • Optimize Images: Use high-quality images with descriptive file names and alt text.
  • Use Schema Markup: Implement schema markup to provide additional context to search engines about your products, including brand information.

If you have other questions, I am willing to answer them more.

Best regards,
