Hi Koko, welcome to the Shopify Community.

A great way to make your store more visible is by utilizing search engine optimization (SEO). Doing so will allow customers to find you when conducting internet searches.

Additionally, running ads on social media platforms can be extremely helpful in boosting visibility and drawing attention to your store. By carefully targeting those likely interested in what you offer, such as those living in a certain location or with specific interests, you can increase the chances of customers discovering your website.

You should also consider creating blog content related to the products being sold and submit guest blogs or comment on forums related to selling. This way, potential customers are more likely to come across your information and follow up for more details about where you’re selling your products or services.

Ultimately, a combination of SEO strategies, targeted advertising campaigns and careful content curation can go a long way toward helping customers find your online store.

And yes, you’ll get an email notification when someone makes an order on your store. You can also check your store analytics inside Shopify admin dashboard to check how potential customers are browsing your store and if conversion is low, where are they dropping off.

Hi there @Koko5 !

That’s a great question that is on the minds of many new merchants.

I can see you’ve already had some input here too from @Junaid-Ahmed , that’s great to see!

Ultimately it will be the responsibility of each merchant to determine how and where to market their stores, but we do provide you with the tools and resources you need to learn how to do so for yourself.

Check out our help doc on marketing and promotions here to see some of the tools and integrations available to grow your Shopify store.

There are articles on how to drive website traffic and how to get your first sales here on our ecommerce blog.

In particular, I’d advise you to develop a marketing plan for your business as this can really help to organise your thinking in this regard.

Could you tell me a bit about your business specifically and what you’re selling?

Would you have an existing community or following, online or offline?
