Hey @Jason133 .
Thanks for reaching out.
I appreciate that you have provided your online store URL for us to explore! Looking into your store, I noticed that you have not added any images to the section with text overlay on the homepage. You can add images to the section using the Theme Editor or you can remove the section entirely if you would like.
I did see that you are using the announcement bar to welcome your visitors to the online store, what do you think about making a discount code or free shipping offer and including it in the announcement bar? It would be a great way to create a buyer incentive.
You can add your social media business links to the footer of the online store if you have them created. To add social media links to the online store, you will need to navigate to the theme settings and add your social media links. Adding these links to your online store will display business legitimacy and provide a sense of security knowing they can contact you from different platforms.
Let me know what you think and if you have any questions.
great store this!
because the home page will need a lot of work, you can always finish it when you get the first 20 reviews
if you wanna start selling right away send all traffic to your /collections/all page https://ironthreads-au.com/collections/all
a simple and amazing collage ad you can run to the above page and start selling right away could be something like…
iron threads is not for everyone
we make great clothing for men and women “made of iron”
so if you’re a tough human being who’s winning day in and out
here’s your clothing while you do it
CTA: shop the latest iron threads collection
Button Text: Shop Now
keep up the great work, wear iron threads and stay strong like iron

Hey @Jason133 .
Thanks for the quick response.
It may be called an image with text overlay or image banner and you can add or remove the section by navigating the Theme Editor.
With that being said, I took a quick screenshot of the section that I am referring to:
Let me know if you have any questions.
Hello @Jason133 ,
Greetings from flareAI app helping Shopify merchants get $6Million+ in sales from Google Search, on autopilot! I am Gina, and I am here to help.
Having taken a close look at your store, I believe that below suggestions could help drive sales.
- Add product reviews as most of the customers read the review before purchasing the product. Even sometimes by reading reviews, customers may look to understand whether your product will suit their particular situation and make the decision to purchase the product.
- Make the banner below the header section more attractive so that it helps the right visitors dive deeper into your website while also weeding out the people who won’t find value in what you offer.
- You can add testimonials on the home page to make the store look more professional. Testimonials allow your satisfied customers to step forward and address the questions and objections that fill the minds of your prospective buyers for you.
- Add social media for the store to increase the traffic. Social media icons in the footer of your Shopify store can increase the visibility of your social media profiles, making it easier for customers to find and follow you on different platforms.
- Add sticky header
Adding sticky header allow users to quickly access the navigation, search, and utility-navigation elements without scrolling up to the top of the page. They increase the discoverability of the elements in the header and the chance that users will take advantage of them. - Add Blogging in the store
Blogging is an amazing way to drive traffic to your website and increase your SEO. The more your blog, the more content the search engines have to crawl and index. This means they can easily recognize that your site is a resource of information for people to access. - Remove Powered by Shopify from the footer and add your own branding to your store footer.
- Developing an optimal SEO product title and URL can assist search engines in accurately identifying your products and increasing traffic to your online store. Hence, strive to create distinctive and precise product titles and URLs.
-
Display the store’s contact info like phone number, and office address on the Contact Us page.
-
Add more payment options other than PayPal which will be convenient for the customer to purchase products.
Let me know if you require any further guidance.
Gina
