1. You don’t need a CS magician🧙. You need a dedicated Muggle👨
These alone puts you ahead of a lot of websites from a meta-level perspective:
- Name your files properly
- Make your website engaging: story, video and photo
- Build clean and logical navigation structure
- Upload your media to the “media” then insert, avoid multiple uploading
Coding may mess up your little shop:
- Some CS magicians don’t clean up their battlefield
e.g. implemented tag-based content fetching, but left behind a pile of draft pages - Small merchants don’t have massive inventories that makes bulk edit a must
- Small business usually has high turnover rate, but the CS magicians may use different kind of spell– they don’t understand each other’s language
2. SEO technology will be obsolete before it matures
The fact is that the traffic of Google search is gradually transferred to ChatGPT. So SEO gonna be a history.
But we still rely on manual editing, bro 😞
- Generating meta data in bulk is extremely difficult in practice. Product content usually carries a narrative, which requires involvement from language models. Even then, AI-generated summaries often suffer from inaccurate tone or missing key points.
- And, If I want to generate meta title in bulk for different types of pic, like front view, side view, moodboard. the plugin will be expensive for small business.
In the end, SEO still relies heavily on manual work — a tedious, low-return, yet unavoidable “SCREWDRIVER JOB.”
