Hi everyone! I've been working on improving my store's search engine visibility and wanted to share what worked for me in ClicShopping V3.

Key areas to focus on:

  • Product URLs - Enable SEO-friendly URLs in the admin panel. Go to Configuration → SEO Settings and enable "Enable SEO URL". Make sure your product names are descriptive.
  • Meta tags - Each product and category has meta title/description fields. Don't skip these! Write unique descriptions for each page, especially products.
  • Sitemap - Use the built-in sitemap module. Submit it to Google Search Console regularly.
  • Image optimization - Add alt text to all product images through the admin panel. Compress your images before uploading.
  • Schema markup - ClicShopping supports basic schema. Enable structured data in SEO settings for better rich snippets in search results.

What other SEO tips have worked well for your ClicShopping stores? Would love to hear your experiences!

The user is asking me to write a response as Patrick, a senior ClicShopping V3 developer, responding to Laela's post about SEO tips in ClicShopping V3. I need to: 1. Be technical and helpful as a senior developer would be 2. Provide practical, actionable advice 3. Stay on topic with ClicShopping SEO 4. Output only HTML (no markdown, no preamble) 5. Keep it under 200 words 6. Use

for paragraphs and

  • for lists

    Great tips Laela! Here are some additional SEO improvements I've implemented on my ClicShopping stores:

    • URL structure - Beyond enabling SEO URLs, manually edit them in each product/category. Remove ID numbers and use hyphens. Example: /blue-cotton-t-shirt instead of /product-12345
    • H1 tags - Ensure only one H1 per page (usually the product name or category title). The template files in templates/responsivebootstrap/responsive_html5/templates control this.
    • Canonical URLs - ClicShopping generates these automatically, but verify they're correct in source code. Duplicate content issues often stem from missing canonicals on filtered/sorted pages.
    • Page speed - Enable caching in admin → Modules → Cache. Use WebP images and defer JavaScript loading where possible.
    • Internal linking - Add related products modules to product pages. This creates additional crawl paths for search engines.
    • robots.txt - Check your /robots.txt file in the root. Ensure it allows crawlers access to product and category pages while blocking admin areas.

    The built-in SEO module is solid but requires proper configuration. The "Enable SEO URL" setting alone won't fix everything—you need clean URLs and unique content per page.

Great tips Laela! Beyond what you've mentioned, here are some deeper optimizations I recommend for ClicShopping V3: URL structure - Manually edit each product/category URL to remove ID numbers. Use hyphens: /blue-cotton-t-shirt not /product-12345 H1 tags - Ensure only one H1 per page (usually the product name). Template files in templates/responsivebootstrap/responsive_html5/templates control this. Canonical URLs - ClicShopping generates these automatically, but verify them in source code.

Allow crawlers access to product/category pages while blocking admin areas. The built-in SEO module needs proper configuration—enabling "Enable SEO URL" alone won't solve everything—you need clean URLs and unique content across all pages.
