Introducing Bizthom Blog: a shoppable blog built into your online store

People don't only search for products. They search for answers to problems: "how to stop my wig from shedding", "what to pray for before a job interview", "best skincare for dark spots in humid weather". Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews answer those questions with pages that explain things well.

The seller who teaches gets found, and the seller who gets found sells.

Today we're launching Bizthom Blog, so every Bizthom online store can be that seller. Write helpful posts, put your products right inside them, and turn searches into sales, with no plugins, apps or add-ons.

Bizthom Blog in 44 seconds

Get found on Google and in AI answers

Every post is built for search from day one: clean, readable pages with the details search engines need to understand them. When someone asks Google or an AI assistant a question your post answers, your store has a chance to be the answer. And the product is right there on the page.

See which blog posts bring sales

Most blogs stop at page views. In Insights › Traffic › Blog, you see each post's readers, how long they read, what brought them, and the orders and revenue that followed. You'll know which topics sell, so you can write more of them.

Grow your contact list

Every reader who subscribes becomes a contact in Bizthom, and so does every shopper who signs in to comment. Your blog quietly builds the list you send your next campaign to: a new arrival, a restock or a weekend offer, straight to people who already care about what you sell.

Shoppers can comment, and you reply as your store. They get an email when you do.

What is a shoppable blog?

A blog where readers can buy the products in a post straight from the page, without searching for them.

Does a blog help my store show up on Google and in AI answers?
