Let’s talk about one of the most powerful (and often overlooked) tools for Showit template sellers: SEO. Yep, good old search engine optimization. And before you roll your eyes and think “that’s for bloggers,” hear me out—getting your templates to rank on Google can bring you consistent, high-intent traffic without dancing on Reels or chasing algorithm changes.
If you want people to find your site while they’re searching for exactly what you sell, SEO is the move 👇
What Makes SEO So Important for Template Shops?
Think about the way your ideal buyer searches. They’re typing things like:
- “Best Showit template for photographers”
- “Website template for life coaches”
- “How to start a website with Showit”
If your shop (or blog) shows up in those results? That’s free traffic from people who are already looking for what you offer.
Start With the Right Keywords
Keywords are the foundation of SEO. Focus on:
- Long-tail keywords (e.g. “Showit website template for wellness coaches”)
- Phrases that include your niche + platform
- Buyer intent (people searching with the goal to purchase)
You can use tools like Ubersuggest or Google’s autocomplete to find ideas. Once you’ve got a few solid keywords, sprinkle them naturally throughout your product pages, blog posts, headings, and image alt text.
Blog Like a Business Owner
Blogging is one of the easiest ways to boost your SEO. You don’t have to post every week—you just need a few keyword-rich posts that answer the questions your dream customer is already Googling.
Examples:
- “5 Things to Look for in a Showit Template”
- “How to Launch Your Coaching Website in a Weekend”
- “Why Showit Is the Best Website Platform for Creatives”
This kind of content helps you rank and builds trust.
Inside Superhero Academy, I teach exactly how to research keywords and write blog content that brings in traffic—and links directly to your templates.
Optimize Your Product Pages
Your template pages shouldn’t just look pretty—they should be optimized to rank.
Quick checklist:
- Add your main keyword to the page title and URL
- Use a unique meta description with benefits and keywords
- Include H1s and H2s that describe what the template is for
- Add alt text to all images
The easier you make it for Google to understand what your page is about, the more likely it is to rank.
Patience Pays Off
SEO isn’t instant—but it is powerful. It takes time for Google to crawl and index your site, but the long-term benefits are worth it. A single blog post or well-optimized page can bring in leads and sales for months or even years.
And unlike social media, where you constantly have to feed the content machine, SEO keeps working for you in the background 📈
