Hi my name's Ian and I've just started an online shop selling phones
Hey there @iandonovan710,
Congratulations on setting up your Square Online site!
If you're looking for ways to boost the number of site visits and website traffic on your page, we recommend taking a look at the SEO Settings for Square Online Websites Support Article. This includes a few recommendations for spreading the word about your site, which I've pasted below for your reference:
1) Spread the word: Tell your customers, family and friends about your site.
2) Optimise for search engines: Make sure people can find your website or items when they search online by following our Ultimate SEO Guide.
3) Update regularly: Keep your website content fresh with blog-style Stories to give visitors a reason to come back.
4) Use your social networks: Post your site to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, LinkedIn or other social networks whenever you update your content.
5) Promote your site: Add a link to your email signature, and include a link to your site when you post to forums or comment on articles.
6) Start an email newsletter: Use newsletter sign-up pop-ups on your site as a tool to bring visitors back to your website and continue email promotions with email marketing.
7) Get reciprocal links: Swap links with other websites that have a similar audience to drive free, qualified traffic. Connect with other sellers that also use Square Online via the Seller Community.
If you have recently published your site, keep in mind that it may take between 24-48 hours (after publishing for the first time) before the Secure Socket Layer (SSL Certificate) is configured. Once this is fully configured, customers will be able to securely transact on your site.
I hope this helps to answer your question, however, don't hesitate to let us know if anything else comes up.
