Online Store - 10 Steps

Step 1 – Watch the Video Before Buying

Purchase your Hosting and Domain Included Package:

• Hosting: This is the service that keeps your online store running and accessible 24/7.

• Domain: It’s your company’s name on the internet (for example, www.yourcompany.com).

Start building! With hosting and a domain, you already have the foundation to start creating your virtual store.

The cost of the Hosting and Domain package represents the total cost to have your online store up and running.

Step 2 – Log In, Register, Add, and Set Up Your AI-Designed Website

Once you have your hosting and domain package, the next step is to log in or register on your hosting provider’s website.

• Access your control panel: Use your email address to sign in.

• Add your website: Follow the steps to link the domain you purchased to your hosting account.

• Design with artificial intelligence: Use the available AI tools to generate your online store’s design quickly and easily.

Once you have access to your panel, you’ll be able to create, modify, or delete your store’s content whenever you need.

Step 3 – Review the Design and Connect Your Existing Domain

Now that the AI has generated your online store’s design based on the information you provided, it’s time to review it.

• Adjust the design: If the first version doesn’t convince you, you can go back and refine the details you gave the AI. Repeat this process until you find a design that perfectly fits your business needs.

• Connect your domain: Once you’re satisfied with the design, connect your company’s name (your domain). In just a few minutes, your online store will be available to the public on the internet.

🎉 Your business will be ready to be discovered on the web!

Step 4 – To Create a Domain for the First Time or Change the Domain of Your Online Store

To find an available website name, you’ll use a domain search tool. This tool is the simplest and most common way to check if a specific name and extension (such as .com, .net, or .org) are available.

How to Find an Available Domain Name?

1. Choose a domain registrar:
   Go to the website of a domain registrar.

2. Use the search bar:
   Enter the domain name you want in the registrar’s search bar. The tool will check its availability in real time.

3. Review the results:

   • If it’s available, you can proceed to register it.
     DO NOT PAY – IT’S INCLUDED FOR FREE IN YOUR PACKAGE.
     The tool may also show you prices for different extensions.

   • If it’s not available, the tool will suggest alternative names, different extensions (like .net, .co, or .shop), or even let you know if the domain is for sale by its current owner.

Step 5 – Publish Your Store Online and Personalize It

You’re almost done! In this final step, it’s crucial to make sure your online store is PUBLISHED and visible on the internet.

Once you’ve confirmed that it’s live, it’s time to personalize it and fill it with your brand’s essence:

• Upload your products and services: Enter all your offerings with clear descriptions and accurate prices.

• Add your logo: Choose the image that will represent your business.

• Define your color palette: Select the colors that best reflect your brand’s personality.

• Add high-quality photos: Upload images that showcase your products or services in the best possible way.

🎉 With these steps, your store will be ready to start selling to its first customers!

Step 10 – SEO: Configure Your Pages and Products to Appear in Google Search

Each page and product must be optimized for SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This process, known as On-Page SEO, focuses on your website’s internal configuration so that search engines understand what each page is about.

Each product page is an opportunity to attract traffic. Make sure to include the following elements:

• Product Title (H1): The main title of the page — it should include your primary keyword.

• Meta Title (SEO Title): The title that appears in Google search results.

• Meta Description: A short, engaging description that summarizes what the page or product offers and encourages users to click.

Tips for Creating SEO-Optimized Titles

• Identify the main keywords for your products or services (e.g., “women’s athletic sneakers”).

• Include those keywords in the title of each page or product.

• Keep titles clear, concise, and attention-grabbing (maximum 60 characters).

• Use keyword variations to capture different search intents.

• Customize titles for each product and category, avoiding duplicates.

Step 10-2 – SEO: Register and Verify Your Online Store in Google Search Console

Once your online store is set up and optimized, the final step to ensure its visibility is to register and verify it in Google Search Console.

• URL Prefix: This option is more specific and only verifies the exact address you enter (e.g., https://www.your-store.com). It’s useful if you only want to monitor a specific section of your site.
