Hey you, shopkeeper! Have you ever thought about doing a VTEX WordPress integration? Did you know that with this combination of platforms it is possible to work with Content Marketing and generate more visitors and more sales in your e-commerce through a blog? So it is!

VTEX has an integration app with which virtual stores created with the VTEX IO platform can merge with a blog made in WordPress. This blog, in turn, can have a home page, categories, posts and a search tool with the header, footer and store style.

In this way, when creating content for the blog, you gain more organic relevance on Google and attract more audience to your online store. Plus, you can create blog content and link it all to your sales pages, which makes it even easier for your audience to find the products you sell.

As you can see, having a blog integrated into your online store is a real machine to turn Internet users into visitors. And soon after, when led to your sales pages, those visitors can be turned into customers and customers.

Furthermore, VTEX IO can be used by certified VTEX partners such as the e-Plus agency , for example, which is a creative and performance agency for online stores. The e-Plus agency is located in São Paulo, but serves clients throughout Brazil and abroad.
