We’re a small product-based ecommerce business, just the founder and me for now, so no SEO expert on board atm.

How do I lead the SEO of our website and on other platforms like Amazon Ads?

Can you give me a checklist of what to get done first to begin, and where to go from there?

Good thing Shopify has an SEO Checklist :slightly_smiling_face: https://www.shopify.com/blog/seo-checklist-online-store

I don’t know anything about Amazon Ads, unfortunately.

Good luck!
