I led the DiveShop360 Storefront Website team for 8 years and built out 95% of the Storefront websites out there today. Here's what I saw quietly kill store performance over and over again, even on shops that looked fine on the surface.
Duplicate content. Course descriptions copied straight from PADI, SSI, SDI, or NAUI. Product descriptions copy-pasted from manufacturers. That same wording is sitting on hundreds of other dive shop sites too, and Google doesn't rank duplicate content, it buries it.
No content or meta optimization. No meta titles, no meta descriptions, no target keywords, no alt text on images. Pages built to look good, not to be found.
No schema. This one's invisible unless you know where to look, and doing it right on DiveShop360 Storefront takes insider knowledge, not a generic SEO checklist. Without it, Google has no idea your hours, classes, or reviews even exist.
No blog. No fresh content for Google to crawl, no place for that schema to attach to, and no reason for a diver planning a trip to land on your site instead of a competitor's.
No sitemap, no llms.txt. A sitemap is the map you hand Google so it can find every page. llms.txt is the newer version, it's what helps AI tools like ChatGPT recommend your shop when someone asks where to get certified nearby. Most sites, including a lot of good-looking ones, still don't have either.
None of this is about redesigning your site. It's about fixing what's already broken underneath it.
I know because I helped build the thing.
DM me "AUDIT" and I'll tell you what your site's missing.
