Find My Store
Feb 26th, 2011, 10:45am
 
Hi all. How might a customer find my particular store when she is on the GCU home page? To search "Valley Visions" brings up my cards but not my store.
Forgive me if it is obvious and I just missed it. Bob.

Bob,  
When you do a search from the home page, you'll only bring up cards that you have your name in the keywords or title somewhere.  The search will not take you to an artist's store.  
 We just had the discussion on whether to use your store name in the keywords and came to the conclusion that it's not a good idea if you use common terms in your store name like "valley" or "visions" as you have in your name.  If you have cards with 'visions' or 'valley' as the theme, then you're OK!
Someone could find you from the home page by doing an artist search either for your name or your store name.  
Best,  Randy

Hi Bob,
 
As with any other website, you have your own URL.
 
Give that out to bring people to your store's home page.
 
Yours is this:
 
http://artist.greetingcarduniverse.com/valleyvisionscardstore
 
If I were you, if the name of your business is Valley Visions, then I would correct my URL to be just that.  The simpler the easier for people to remember and type in.  You can fix your URL so that it is:
 
http://artist.greetingcarduniverse.com/ValleyVisions

I thought you couldn't use your store name in the keywords...
