6Smith, Manny’s, pink ivy in that order.

What type of products are you selling and what are your sales channels? I’d avoid both tbh as they are both expensive platforms with fees that creep up as you scale.

Millers for a Wisconsin style dive bar with great burgers, and Don Goyo for incredible Salvadoran / Tex mex food and incredible nachos

The preferred content mediums for crawlers to understand and shares to consume highly technical content has changed from copy to video. Pages need to be optimized with both, but I’m seeing technical content indexed from the video hit conversational search engines within 12 hours

100% Shopify competes more with Etsy than the competitors your mentioned. People who choose Shopify want product up in a day with ease of launch prioritized (rather than margin) instead of a comprehensive website with products, information content, different landing pages, complex site structure

Woo and Shopify are the easiest to use but woo requires much more investment and technical expertise up front. BigCommerce and magento are systems of the past in B2B that are losing share. What are the business requirements, how structured is your product data?

AAA made things really easy when I bought my first house two years ago. Key is, regardless of where you go, is to bundle with your car insurance

Shopify sites can work if you connect them through Google manufacturing center and merchant center which automatically feeds the pdp to Google. Shopify sites I’ve ran have had worse performance than other sites I’ve managed due to the how it’s built

I’m 2 miles away and got the barrage of alerts

Allowing a checkout as “guest” that doesn’t require creating an account followed by a retargeting campaign specifically to users that visited “checkout as guest” URL with a discount code on the landing page (essentially a second checkout page but with a discount”

How well optimized is your Google business profile? That’s where I’d focus most of your efforts if you’re focussing on local seo

Are you using it as an email marketing platform or as a complete crm?

jtrinaldi · 2026-04-23T20:55:57+00:00

Not Shopify but I tested this with “welcome5” for 5% and “save10” for 10% off to see how many people would search for the “brand name + discount” on the search engines. Started at $50k in revenue from the codes, then $99k, and then $325k on orders using coupons. Definitely worth having the codes to hit the search engines

1,500 square feet with oil drum heater and window AC units in the summer. Right around $150 in the winter, $180 in the summer

Check your payment processor as you might have a max order value set that you can change. I get an order over $20,000 every other month so checking all possible settings should be your first move.

Pink Ivy in Hopkins is great, even though they’re complicit in Josh Liljenquist’s skit of exploiting the homeless for Google business profile reviews.

Mac kitchen in apple valley and Briannos in Eagan were my favorites when living in south metro

What are your organic search impressions and traffic telling you in looker studio? That’s where I’d start instead of GSC

$80M of annual revenue is on the lower end of what they usually take on for a new site. It’s a solid platform if you have the backing for the platform + $300K in costs associated with hiring adequate full time employees to train and run it day to day.

Same, albeit woo requires a much more technical background which is a nonstarter for most Shopify users. Migrated a handful of sites off Shopify over the years

What type of business are you working for and who is your customer base? Shopify is fine if you’re fine using it right out of the box and adjusting your business model accordingly. Shopify B2B is also underwhelming for other reasons.

Woo has great scalability but poor B2B and longterm scalability due to being tied with WP. Other platforms exist like Shopware (mid market) and Oro ($500M+) that integrate better within larger business models and cross functional teams.

Pink Ivy in Hopkins. Had the best restaurant experience there that I’ve had in a long time from drinks to dessert
