There are many, many components that go into ranking higher in search results. Without doing an analysis of both your site and your ranking competitors, it's hard to say what you can do.
Generally, there are two kinds of SEO: on-page and off-page. You can further break on-page into technical SEO and content, especially keywords. The examples you give are mostly technical, but a superbly architected site alone isn't going to get you ranked in the top pages nationally or globally unless you operate in a very small niche or your competitors have terrible SEO.
For example, one of the key components is "authoritativeness." Google measures that with backlinks, which is a key component of off-page SEO.
The best advice I can give in a short space like this is to see what your high ranking competitors are doing. It would be easy to say "and do what they do," but that's only true to a point. If they have lots of keyword-optimized high-value content, you probably want to have that as well. But if they're very entrenched with certain keywords, for example, you'll want to find a point of difference. Copying theirs won't necessarily yield anything.
If you haven't already, check out Semrush or Ahrefs. They're leaders in the field and have some good introductory videos on the types of SEO and keyword analysis. They're trying to get you to buy their services, of course, but they're not wrong in what they say.
Thank you for your suggestions, I will check them out 🙂

Hello,
I've been working on my SEO the last couple of months. I've been working with Google Console and also running speed tests, as well as trying to read as many SEO tips as I can. My website still doesn't seem to do well in Google rankings despite all the efforts I'm making to my site. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong?
For example, my shop products don't seem to show up in keyword searches on Google even though I have lots of specific product tags for each product and most of them have an SEO title and description also. Are product tags even SEO-related, or am I confusing them with a hashtag (like how one would use to discover things on social media)?
Would really love some advice on this, as I feel like I'm never making any progress, and in the meantime my site doesn't seem to rank any higher, or at all, in Google searches. My website is here.
Many thanks in advance,
Rachel -

I think this is looking lovely, so clean and easy to navigate!
The only thing I can suggest is to add Terms & Conditions and things like Returns Policies and Shipping Policies for your shop. It helps your store to appear more professional and trustworthy!
It looks like you are UK-based so you also need to be aware of GDPR and display things like a Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy.
I hope that's all clear — let me know if you have any questions!

Studio FoundedThanks so much for your feedback! 🙂
I'm based in Ireland, but I do have the Privacy Policy in my Shop FAQ section which has all my shipping policies listed. Maybe it's not too clear? I have it currently in my 'shop' dropdown menu, but it may be better in my footer perhaps?

Not too much to say really, you have lovely illustrations and great photos to showcase them as well as your studio. Overall you've used these assets really nicely and your website simply does the job it is intended to do: show off your work and products.
The only thing I would want to streamline is the navigation, just to simplify slightly and make the experience a bit easier. I might suggest having the wholesale link just in the footer, and rearranging the about dropdown to make it clearer as to what you get from the pages, ideally it could be: About Me | My Shop Story | Contact Me (even if Contact Me is just an anchor link to the bottom of the About page).
Thanks so much, that's great feedback! Really appreciate it 🙂

Hi everyone, would love some feedback on my website which is a mix of my webshop and portfolio. I recently redesigned a few things and I'm hoping that it's working well for others to use. Thanks in advance! 🙂
