All hail the SEO overlord

Here at tshirtme.co.uk we love band tee shirts. And crisps. But mainly t-shirts. Or tees. Or band merch. Or merchandise, Or licensed band tees, or licenced merch, every item with a long rich keyword-loaded description, metadescription, focus words, social share, mark-up....

You see every bugger sells tee shirts, apparently. Put 'band t-shirt' into a search engine and you get hundreds of hits, from the big ones like HM-how-much-for- a- shirt-V to AI generated 'sites' offering you printed tees allegedly from your home town, that are actually drop-shippers based in the far East. Add in a band you really like, and you get even more options, including Etsy and eBay and even Debenhams and Superdrug.... I mean since when did a chemist sell Joy Division tees (they really do this...)

Anyway, we sell tees and unlike Primark, are ethical and really quite pleasant. The biggest barrier for small businesses is the SEO god, who demands service, fealty, and constant validation. Like a toddler, or a libdem at election time. We're doing our best here at tshirtme.co.uk to please the all-powerful gatekeeper, so we are adding info behind our product pages that make it more SEO friendly and more likely to feature in searches (including AI searches.... if SEO is the Gatekeeper, AI is Zuul....)

(actual pic of Tim at 2am, when realising he's just erased the wrong batch of files and has to start the whole SEO-optimising process again...)

What you can do to help is (a) browse our stock - obviously, the more you look at our stuff, the better G**gle thinks we are doing - but also (b) search for our site using your chosen search engine and follow the links. Type 'band t-shirts Devon', scroll down to tshirtme.co.uk and follow the link. You might well see links to individual items as well - follow them too. Every active search that results in a user landing on our site boosts the SEO rankings, which improves the chances of the best t-shirt shop in Devon appearing higher up the search results, which means more business and more sales, which means Nevs is happy and can buy more crisps. And t-shirts.

It works, see? Help us stay visible.... and remember that we don't make t-shirts for pr**ks.
