SEO for moving from marketplaces to your own online store
Sellers who built sales on Shopee or Lazada often want their own Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento store to cut fees and own customer data. Unlike marketplaces, your own store gets no built-in traffic, so search has to be built from zero.
- Structure: category and product URLs, filters that do not create duplicate pages, and clean schema for price and stock.
- Content: unique product descriptions rather than copied marketplace listings.
- Demand: target search terms people use in Malaysia, including Bahasa Malaysia and mixed-language queries.
Expect a slow first quarter while pages get indexed.
What it costs
Cost varies with the number of products, platform, and how much copywriting is needed. Agencies often split it into a setup phase and a monthly retainer.
