Ecommerce SEO Case Study
From 2,500 monthly visitors to 18,000 in 6 months
Project Overview
Our client, a mid-sized online fashion retailer, specializes in sustainable clothing for millennials. Despite a visually appealing website, their organic traffic remained low, limiting sales and brand visibility. The primary goal of this SEO project was to increase organic search visibility, improve keyword rankings for high-intent product pages, and drive measurable sales growth. By combining technical SEO, content optimization, and backlink acquisition, the strategy aimed to establish the brand as a trusted online destination for sustainable fashion.
From the Client
“We had a beautiful website, but very few visitors found us through search engines. Paid ads weren’t sustainable, and we wanted a long-term solution to grow sales organically. We needed a clear SEO strategy that could boost our traffic, help our products rank higher, and ultimately convert visitors into loyal customers.”
The Challenge
The client faced multiple SEO hurdles: organic traffic averaged just 2,500 monthly visitors, and most product pages ranked outside the top 50 in Google search. Technical issues, including slow page load times, missing meta descriptions, and weak internal linking, further hindered performance. Additionally, high competition in the sustainable fashion niche made it difficult to rank for commercial-intent keywords, limiting visibility for their target audience. Without a structured SEO strategy, the client’s online growth remained stagnant.
The Results
Organic Traffic: Increased from 2,500 to 18,000 monthly visitors (+620%)
Keyword Rankings: 45 keywords moved to top 10 positions, including 12 high-intent product keywords
Leads from Organic Traffic: 210 monthly leads from organic search (previously 25)
Domain Authority: Improved from 18 to 32
High-Quality Backlinks: 28 new backlinks from authoritative fashion and lifestyle blogs
The Solution
We conducted a comprehensive technical SEO audit, fixing site speed issues, optimizing meta tags, improving mobile responsiveness, and enhancing internal linking to ensure Google could crawl and index product pages efficiently.
Content optimization focused on product descriptions, blog articles, and category pages targeting high-intent and long-tail keywords, while maintaining engaging and informative copy that aligned with the brand’s sustainable mission.
Our outreach strategy secured backlinks from reputable fashion and lifestyle websites, boosting domain authority and referral traffic, while local SEO optimization enhanced visibility in geo-targeted searches for relevant audiences.
Search Engine Optimization Journey
