---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
https://mahetri.in/ | Text, images | Transactional, Commercial | Homepage | 132 | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
https://mahetri.in/collections/leather-bags-for-men | Text, Product images, Products | Transactional, Commercial | Category | 179 | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |

Nappa Dori leads in brand storytelling but lacks depth in technical SEO. Mahetri has simpler content but misses blog/Social SEO opportunities. ShopKalakriti can dominate by combining:
- Transactional pages (optimised product descriptions)
- Informational hubs (blog + video content)
- Social proof (Pinterest + Meta engagement).
