  2. 2Show, don't just tell. Real parents using your products in everyday life converts better than studio shots.

  5. 5Optimize for comparison searches. Parents actively compare products on sites like BabyGearLab and Lucie's List.
  6. 6Technical SEO for e-commerce is crucial: fast loading, clear product schema, and mobile-first experience.
  7. 7Expect initial traction in 4 to 6 months, with full compounding results within 10 to 14 months.
