Abstract

The central objective of this study was the formulation of digital strategies aimed at enhancing competitive advantages in e-commerce for service sector companies in Panama, within the framework of post-COVID-19 technological adaptation. The research, quantitative in nature with a descriptive-correlational design, was based on data collected through a survey (validated questionnaire, Cronbach's Alpha=0.8) administered to a random sample of 330 service companies. The main results showed a high valuation of digital tools and established a positive and statistically significant correlation (p < 0.0001) between the effective adoption of digital marketing and e-commerce, and the perception of increased competitive advantages. The substantive content of this article lies in the structured and well-founded presentation of a set of specific strategies derived from these findings. These strategies encompass the optimization of web presence and user experience (UX), search engine positioning (SEO/SEM), inbound marketing, customer loyalty (CRM), and the advanced use of e-commerce platforms, with the aim of offering an applicable framework for strengthening the competitive position of the sector.
