Heading to her journey

SearchPie’s Ascent: From SEOBooster to #1 SEO App

Lea’s path in e-commerce began with initial days of Secomapp – the very first Shopify solution provider in Vietnam in 2014; highlighted with SearchPie (formerly known as SEO Booster), a Shopify plug-in that reached #1 SEO app only a few months after launching on the App Store, then holding Top positions non-stop since 2019. The app soon became among the featured apps with “Built for Shopify” badge, a mark of quality and reliability.

Driven by a customer-centric innovation philosophy, Lea has focused R&D on delivering constant values to SearchPie’s users. This led to the app becoming the first in its category to provide 24/7 live chat support and personalized services like Speed Optimization, Local SEO, Google Shopping…, thereby raising the platform’s standard for customer care and app product quality.

PieLab: The Conversion Duo of SearchPie & DECO

Her commitment to merchant success culminated next in DECO – a popular Shopify toolkit designed to attract clicks and drive higher conversion rates with strategic product icons like labels, badges and banners. The efforts ultimately led to PieLab: The Dynamic Duo – a 5-star comprehensive solution that combines the traffic-driving power of “Search” with the conversion-boosting potential of “Labels.”
