It's no secret that the global pandemic has dramatically changed the world. People are now more cautious about getting together, going to public places, and even shopping.

It's not easy to get website traffic. Both paid ads and organic search engine marketing need to be fully optimized. Search engine optimization is the more crucial of the two, with a much higher potential return on investment.

Some businesses make their mark with only a few products. But online stores come in all sizes.

Some online stores have thousands of products. Others have hundreds of thousands. Some of these businesses grew their catalogs slowly. Others started out in an industry that's already known for large catalogs.

Your business could be in any of these situations. Maybe you're still growing, but you plan to add more products with time. Or maybe you already have a large catalog.
