If you run a small artisan brand and your beautiful website is invisible on Google, you are not alone. Thousands of small business owners in New York and across the United States build stunning sites and then wonder why nobody finds them. The problem is almost never the product. It is the technical foundation underneath the site.
That is exactly the situation Poprus faced. Poprus is a New York-based artisan popcorn company that hand-pops small-batch popcorn in bold flavors like Butter, Jalapeño, Salt and Pepper, Classic, and their one-of-a-kind Shawarma blend. Every jar is sealed fresh, made from non-GMO kernels, and crafted with the care of a true food artisan. Their Wix Harmony website looked great. But without a proper technical SEO setup, it was not reaching the customers it deserved to reach.
Slaterock Automation stepped in with a complete technical SEO setup for just $499, and this post walks through exactly what was done, why it matters, and what small business owners can learn from it.

Who Is Poprus?
Poprus is an artisan small-batch popcorn brand based in New York. The brand is built around one idea: great popcorn is not made in a factory. It is made with intention.
Every Poprus jar starts with whole-kernel, non-GMO corn that is hand-popped in small batches, seasoned with patience, and sealed jar-fresh so it arrives at peak crunch. Their flavor lineup includes classic Butter, sharp Salt and Pepper, a simple house Classic, bold Jalapeño, and their signature Shawarma blend, which draws on Middle Eastern spice traditions to deliver something genuinely unlike anything else on the snack shelf.
Beyond direct sales, Poprus caters to custom label orders for weddings, Mishloach Manos, Upsherin favors, corporate gifts, and Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Customers can order online, via WhatsApp, or through their website at poprus.com.
Their Wix Harmony site told their story beautifully. But telling a story and being found by search engines are two different challenges.
What Is a Technical SEO Setup and Why Does It Matter?
A technical SEO setup is the process of optimizing a website's infrastructure so search engines like Google and Bing can crawl, understand, and rank its pages. It is the foundation on which all other digital marketing sits.
According to Google Search Central, helping Google find and understand your content is one of the most important steps a website owner can take to improve visibility in search results. Without it, even well-written content and beautiful design cannot reach their potential.
For small artisan brands like Poprus, technical SEO is especially critical because they are competing against large national snack brands with massive domain authority. The only way to carve out visibility is to make sure Google can find and trust every page on your site.
What Slaterock Automation Did for Poprus
Slaterock Automation is a Tampa and New York-based digital marketing agency and certified Wix Partner. The team specializes in SEO services, web development, Google Ads, and business automation for small and medium-sized businesses throughout the United States.
For the Poprus project, the team conducted a complete technical SEO setup on the brand's Wix Harmony website. Here is what that process looked like from start to finish.
Before touching a single page, Slaterock ran thorough keyword research using two industry-standard tools: Semrush and Google Keyword Planner. The goal was to identify the terms actual buyers use when searching for artisan popcorn, gourmet snacks, and unique gift food items online.
This research shaped every on-page decision that followed. Without knowing what terms your customers actually search for, you cannot optimize your content to meet them.
Step 2: Site Audit
The team conducted a detailed site audit using both manual review and AI-assisted methods. The audit identified gaps in the existing structure, missing SEO elements, and areas where the site copy was not communicating clearly enough for both users and search engines.
This step mirrors the approach Slaterock uses for technical SEO audits for Tampa and other regional businesses, applied here to a Wix Harmony e-commerce site in the food and gifting space.
On-Page SEO Optimizations Completed
On-page SEO is where keyword research meets the actual content of your site. Slaterock optimized every major on-page element across the Poprus website.
SEO Titles and Meta Descriptions
Every page received a custom SEO title and meta description crafted to include the target keyword, communicate value to the reader, and stay within recommended character limits. These are the first things a potential customer sees in a Google search result, and they directly influence click-through rates.
H1 and Header Structure
Each page was reviewed and corrected to ensure one clear H1 heading per page, with properly nested H2 and H3 subheadings that guide both readers and search engines through the content logically.
Schema Markup
Schema markup is structured data code that helps search engines understand the type of content on a page. Slaterock added the appropriate schema to the Poprus site to increase its eligibility for rich results in Google Search, which can significantly boost visibility for product and business pages.
You can learn more about how schema works for local and small business sites in Slaterock's schema markup guide.
Alt Image Text Optimization
Every image on the site received SEO-optimized alt text. Alt text serves two purposes: it tells search engines what an image shows, and it improves accessibility for users who rely on screen readers. Both matter for rankings and user experience.
Page Copywriting Improvements
Beyond the technical elements, the team improved page copy to better reflect how real buyers talk about artisan popcorn, gourmet gifts, and small-batch food products. Clear, benefit-focused language helps both conversion rates and keyword relevance.
What Was Added: New Pages
Two new pages were added to strengthen the site's content structure and trust signals:
Our Story page: Giving Poprus a dedicated narrative page helps search engines understand the brand and helps buyers connect emotionally before they purchase.
FAQ page: A FAQ page captures long-tail search queries and is structured to appear in Google's featured snippet results, increasing visibility without requiring additional ad spend.
Indexing, Schema, and the Wix SEO Checklist
Getting a site live is not the same as getting it indexed. Slaterock submitted the Poprus website directly to both Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools for indexing. This tells both search engines the site exists and is ready to be crawled, which accelerates the time to first visibility in search results.
The team also completed the full Wix SEO checklist, which covers everything from connecting the domain properly to verifying the sitemap and enabling social sharing metadata. For Wix Harmony sites in particular, completing this checklist ensures no default platform settings are interfering with indexing.
