BigCommerce SEO Helper Extension

One of the first SEO tasks for an eCommerce store owner is to optimise their title tags and meta descriptions so that they make their pages stand out in the search results.

This extension adds a Google Search Result Preview to the SEO sections in the BigCommerce admin interface so that you can instantly see what your edits will look like.

It also adds product IDs to the products table.

In the future, I will be adding more SEO features to this extension and the BigCommerce admin interface.
