SEO Issues with Surecart

    I really like SureCart but I’ve found a couple of limitations that are giving me a hard time improving the SEO, and I’m losing traffic because of this. I thought that installing an SEO plugin would fix the problems but it didn’t. Here some of the issues I’m having:

    1- Rank Math is not using the product meta description provided by SureCart. Instead, it is displaying random content from the product page (ex. “fast shipping”).

    2- I don’t know how, but all product canonicals changed from storename.com/product/product-name to storename.com/?sc_product=product-name. I believe that is the reason why Google Console is showing “None” for “User-declared canonical”.

    3- Product sitemap is not updating. I tried flushing the cache, setting RM sitemap caching to false… and nothing works. And this is creating issue with Google console.

    4- Product images are not being listed on the product sitemap, which is affecting products visibility.

    5- When I change a product slug/link RM or SC automatically creates a redirect but I cant find where those redirects are located.

    I contacted Rank Math [awesome] support about the issue and here is what they explained:

    “SureCart doesn’t save products and their data in your site’s database. The products are saved on their server, that’s why it isn’t possible for our plugin to add the correct meta tags or generate the sitemap. You will have to get in touch with their support and ask them if they have a solution for integration with SEO plugins.”

    Hello @webifymedia

    I appreciate your interest in SureCart.

    1. Regarding SEO

    When it comes to SEO (Search Engine Optimization), SureCart offers a feature called “Search Engine Listing” which can help improve the visibility of your products in search engine results. Here’s how it works:

    • When you create a product in SureCart, there’s a section called “Search Engine Listing” where you can write a Page Title and Meta Description for your product.
    • These details are what people see when your product appears in search engine results.
    • By writing clear and catchy Page Titles and Meta Descriptions, you can make your product more appealing in search results, increasing the likelihood that people will click on it.
