You could try our app, ClickFrom.AI. It pulls free traffic from AI chats (ChatGPT, Gemini, and more). Some users get results within a week. We send the traffic, you make the sale.
Use code SHUQIAN for an extra 30 free days.

Actually, one of the most effective ways to get free and long-term traffic to your Shopify store is by running a blog.
First of all it improves SEO, cause blog gives you a chance to rank well on Google for keywords which your potential customers may use while searching for something.
Additionally, when you write about something related to your products, you may attract targeted visitors. They are already interested in what you offer.
The default Shopify blog functionality is quite limited though.
I would use something more advanced, like Magefan’s blog app, which offers helpful features such as social sharing buttons functionality that can take your store’s visibility to the next level.

Consistent posting on socials with the right hashtags is a good start. You can then try writing some blogs on relevant topics which would in turn lead to people checking out your store.
Hi @ScentedAromas,
Great question! Here are some additional strategies to drive free traffic to your site:
Leverage User-Generated Content: Encourage your customers to share photos or reviews of your products on social media. You can create a branded hashtag to make it easier to find and promote this content.
Participate in Online Communities: Engage in forums and groups related to your niche. Share your expertise and provide value without being overly promotional. This builds credibility and can drive interested visitors to your site.
Utilize Quora or Reddit: Answer questions related to your products on platforms like Quora or relevant subreddits. Providing helpful answers can attract traffic back to your store.
Host Giveaways or Contests: Create a giveaway that requires participants to follow your social media accounts, share your posts, or visit your website for entry. This can significantly boost your visibility and engagement.
Optimize for Local SEO: If your business has a local aspect, optimize your site and profiles for local searches. This can attract traffic from nearby customers looking for what you offer.
Collaborate with Other Brands: Partner with complementary brands for cross-promotions. This could be through joint giveaways, social media takeovers, or guest blog posts.
Create Valuable Resources: Consider making downloadable resources (like e-books or guides) related to your products. Promote these on your social channels to attract visitors looking for helpful information.
If you share your website URL, I can provide more tailored advice!

Hi 
Trying to do allll the things.
Here’s my website: www.disch.ca
Let me know your thoughts 
Hi @Cherry1
Sorry if that was confusing. I was replying to your message saying ‘drop you URL for advice on SEO’
Hii @ScentedAromas , First, I recommend that you provide us with the URL of the store so that I can test and evaluate the issues existing regarding SEO or Speed issues. Till then, you can apply some common practices like focusing on achieving a higher SEO score, as the title tags should be correct with meta description is also needs to be well constructed and more. The second thing which is an important aspect for traffic is the store speed, as the low speed sites are not able to gain higher traffic, and by chance traffic came but it, it will not convert into buyers. Loading speed should be high to actually make a change. Additionally, to promote on social media, I would recommend using different platforms and target website development, web developer, SEO development, Digital Marketing, etc. kinds of posts or blogs.
As some replies from this thread mentioned it, you can do it by SEO. A lot of app offers this for free, like SearchPie: SEO, Speed & Schema
We do have a free plan for you to try out our app features and see if it suits you!

Hope this helps,

Hi @ScentedAromas,
I just checked out your site, and I really love the design and the products. They look great!
That’s why I think you could try a new approach with affiliate marketing — for example, using an app like UpPromote. You could work with some KOLs or even your existing customers to generate high-converting traffic. The best part is, there’s no real risk: unlike ads, you only pay affiliates when actual sales are recorded.
You can gain free large traffic from order lookup pages. Customers have a high expectation to know exactly where happen to their orders.
Here are a few highlights from the data that why you should not overlook the traffics from the order lookup pages:
- Half of consumers blame negative delivery experiences on poor communication.
- Yet one in three consumers weren’t able to track their most recent delivery, and only 28% were able to see the delivery truck location in real time.
- The overwhelming majority of consumers (80%) want to receive delivery status updates.
- Text is generally the preferred medium for delivery information (with 70% of consumers responding favorably to receiving text messages), but many consumers also appreciate emails and phone calls.

In this case, you can use Parcel Panel Order Tracking to customize your branded order lookup pages on your websites and promote your products or discounts when your customers look up their order status or check their shipping notifications. You can try it for a 30-day free trial if you need.
What’s more, the traffic from the Parcel Panel order lookup pages also belongs to your website domains.
Free options include SEO optimization, blogging, joining niche forums, email marketing, and engaging on socials. Collaborating with communities can also help. For managing privacy and consent while scaling, check out Ketch.
