Launched my pet e-commerce store 2 months ago. 28 blog posts, Pinterest every day, Reddit every day... still only 4–5 visits/day. What would you do next?

I'm building a small pet accessories e-commerce store as a solo founder and I'm trying to figure out what I should focus on next.

The store has been live for about 2 months.

So far I've:

  • Published 28 blog posts
  • Been adding new content every week
  • Started Pinterest and post regularly
  • Been active on Reddit and built around 350 karma in about 2 weeks
  • Optimized article titles, meta descriptions and internal links
  • Submitted pages through Google Search Console

The good news is that Google has started showing impressions and most of my visitors are coming from the US, which is my target market.

The bad news is that traffic is still extremely low (around 4–5 visits per day).

What I haven't done yet:

  • Backlink outreach
  • Guest posting
  • Paid ads
  • YouTube
  • TikTok

I'm trying to understand whether this is simply a patience game with SEO, or whether there's something obvious I'm missing.

If you were in my position, what would you focus on during the next 30–60 days?

I'd really appreciate honest feedback from people who have grown small e-commerce businesses.
