The challenge
The website needed stronger organic visibility across both e-commerce searches and competitive local markets. A large catalogue also created technical and performance challenges that limited growth.
The work
- Improved technical and Shopify on-page SEO across commercial pages.
- Fixed Core Web Vitals issues affecting more than 5,000 pages.
- Optimised local targeting, citations, and review signals.
- Built more than 75 high-authority backlinks through guest posts and resource pages.
The result
- 200% growth in organic traffic
- 25+ local business keywords ranked in the top three
- Largest Contentful Paint improved by 2.3 seconds
- Domain authority increased by 18 points
The programme combined technical foundations with content relevance and authority rather than treating each area as a separate campaign.
