I know this is a weird place to ask, but I figured why not. Sometimes you find what you're looking for in the most unlikely of places.
So I've been building a few websites as of late with Wix (http://www.wix.com) including the website for my side business ImagiWorks (http://www.imagiworks.com.au). I've also built the website of my family business (and my place of full time employment) over here: http://www.visionone.com.au.
Particularly with the Vision One site, we had it originally built with an developer out here who used XCart for our online e-commerce side of things. This seemed to generate "clean URLs" and boosted our search engine ranking to the top of nearly all product listings.
I've gone with Ecwid for the new Wix site and while I've liked the control and ability to adjust certain elements with Ecwid, their SEO is horrible. URLs end up like this: http://www.visionone.com.au/#!av-au...cjiz/!/~/product/category=8725081&id=39429381 - When they should look like this: http://www.visionone.com.au/#!av-audio-visual-melbourne/product/samsung-ed-c-series-led.
Basically, our SEO is all over the place now. We're not ranking anywhere near where we were and as a result, we're dropped off in our web and phone leads. Obviously this is hardly the result we want.
Are there any IT/Web/SEO people on the board that can help me out with this one? Seems like there's either some super tricks to elevate SEO, or I need to leave Ecwid totally for another third party product (as Wix's built-in shopping page is rather poor, BUT does work with clean URLs). Does anyone else run an online website? Or is involved with getting their business online? How do you find your SEO? Are you ranking highly? And if so, what are you doing to achieve this?
Thanks to anyone that can help with this issue!
