The Challenge
Upon conducting our initial SEO audit, we identified several key challenges that were preventing our client’s organic search performance.
Despite being a well-established business, the website needed to improve its ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs) for product-related keywords. This was particularly evident for high-value “brick slips” related terms where competitors consistently outperformed. While the site was attracting some organic traffic, the conversion rate from these visitors was lower than desired. This indicated a disconnect between user intent and the on-site experience provided.
The Solution
We implemented an SEO strategy that included conducting a thorough SEO auditand executing a follow-up project based on audit findings.
Inefficient information architecture The existing site architecture was not organised to effectively showcase the full range of products. This made navigating and understanding the site’s content hierarchy difficult for users and search engines. Content gaps and cannibalisation Our audit revealed significant content gaps for essential product categories and informational queries. Additionally, we identified keyword cannibalisation instances where multiple pages were competing for the same search terms, reducing the site’s overall SEO performance. Technical SEO Issues As with most e-commerce sites, there will be many technical issues, but we prioritised a few critical technical issues that were impacting the site’s performance, including: Implementation of structured data (product schema) Fixing Shopify internal product links Issues with crawlability and indexation of crucial pages These challenges collectively contributed to lost opportunities in organic search performance, restricting the possibility of organic revenue growth. Our goal was to address these challenges and implement a strategic plan into action to deliver immediate, verifiable results.
The Results
SEO-related revenue grew immediately from £7,000 to £10,000 with a 61% increase in transactions from organic search as well as 38% increase in first-time purchasers.
