Features
Design and Themes
The service offers a wide range of templates when compared with some others in the industry. All templates are free with each package. Each section of the page can be dragged and dropped to customize the website as you wish.
Apps and addons
Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Messenger Live Chat can all be added.
Language options
The provider only offers language translation on its two most expensive package options, making it a much less appealing product, as customers who don’t speak English are unlikely to use the site.
Marketing
Social integration and sales channels
In addition to the Zyro platform, products can be listed and sold through Amazon, Facebook, and Instagram.
SEO Tools
The company understands the importance of appearing on the first page of Google listings. It provides inbuilt SEO tools to raise website ranks on search engines.
Reporting tools
- Google Tag Manager - Track and analyze your visitors’ actions
Email marketing
Zyro doesn’t offer options for email marketing. Instead, it focuses on automated, personalized ads through Facebook and Google Shopping to target audiences likely to have an interest in certain products.
Importing and exporting products
It’s possible to transfer a previous website over to Zyro, using its Website Importer. Simply paste the URL into the search bar and everything will be imported, including text and images. No guidance is available on the ease of exporting data.
