DropInBlog ‑ SEO Friendly Blog
DropInBlog is the only app in this review that is a total blog solution in its own right and not just a layout builder on top of the in-built Shopify blog.
This makes it light and flexible. It is also SEO-friendly and has more features than Shopify’s native blog. It’s also easier and cheaper to implement than a WordPress blog because it requires no hosting.
With this blog app for Shopify, it’s easy to insert products into your blog posts, making content shoppable while also keeping it visible in the search engines.
Interestingly, the app also integrates well with other ecommerce platforms like BigCommerce and Big Cartel so if you ever migrate from Shopify in the future, it’s easy to bring your blog with you.
