Section 7  ·  Murano SEO project

0 of 13 complete

The strongest opportunity on the site and the only one already proven by data. All 96 Murano products have been analysed and every page is specified to the field in the Murano build pack. Two changes to the plan came out of that analysis: there are zero Murano floor lamps and only two table lamps, while wall sconces (35 products) were missing from the plan entirely. Building is blocked on Shopify access.
