Hey All,
First of I want to thank everyone in this thread. The number of shop owners and designs we’re seeing here in this thread is incredible, and soooo many of these products are brilliant. This thread is a testament to how awesome our community is.
As we’ve been going through we’ve been finding some amazing products, but unfortunately for one reason or another some don’t meet the full criteria of what we need in order to be in the gift guide.
I want to give a few shoutouts as examples of great products that meet our requirements or could use a quick adjustment to be even better. We don’t have the resources to go to every single shop and give feedback on what you could do to improve, but I hope these examples help so that everyone can take another look at the products they suggested and revise.
These are 3 products worthy of the Gift Guide, but I included some suggestions to improve SEO and thus improve our ability to work them in. Please note, none of this means guaranteed placement, but every improvement counts.
Microscope pendant by
@CorellaStudios
Photography is great
- Great, clear photo, close up of product in view.
- More photos on page are good.
Suggestions to improve SEO
- Make the description longer, around 7 sentences (1 or 2 paragraphs is good) This is always an opportunity to introduce the product and yourself.
- Use the same terms as in your title, change mini-microscope to to mini microscope pendant
- Describe the materials it could be in, what materials you recommend and why
- Add links to other similar products your shoppers could be interested in
- The sketchfab link could link back to your shop for better SEO value
- Reiterate keywords in tags-- in title its a pendant, in tags its necklace so add pendant.
- Add more tags to help shoppers find it, jewelry, science etc
Heros by
@garethnicholas
Photography is great
- Beautifully painted miniatures, clear close up view of set
- Shows the full set on product page
Suggestions to improve SEO
- Could include more keywords in the title Heros -- “fantasy RPG Heros miniatures set”
- Make the description longer, around 7 sentences (1 or 2 paragraphs is good) This is always an opportunity to introduce the product and yourself.
- Reiterate keywords from title in description
- Its a set, talk about that. “Set” is a good keyword for shoppers
- You talk a little about materials, thats good, could go more in depth
- Talk about what games this is for, compatable with (Dungeons and Dragons has lots of SEO value
- Tagging should reflect these again “RPG miniatures fantasy set, dungeons and dragons etc
- Add links to other related sets for shoppers to browse and purchase
- Link to tutorial on painting is great, could briefly give TLDR in description
- Add other social links to shop
Gears delirium by
@fpa76
Photography is great
- BEAUTIFUL product, and clear, bright simple photo to show it off
- Shows off how nice Shapeways materials are
- Default image set correctly
Suggestions to improve SEO
- Name should be more descriptive. Delirum is a cool artistic title but not a strong SEO keyword. Add more like “Gears delirium, D6 gaming die” have most specific words
- Make the description longer, around 7 sentences (1 or 2 paragraphs is good) This is always an opportunity to introduce the product and yourself.
- Reiterate keywords from title in description
- Talking about materials is good, expand on why you suggest the materials
- Refer to it as both 5 sided die and D6 for more keywords
- Add links to other related sets for shoppers to browse and purchase
- Tagging should reflect these again “RPG dice, die, d6, 6 sided die steampunk, dungeons and dragons" etc
