A Closer Look At The Case Study Site

SEO Case Study Pet Store EcommerceThis client runs an ecommerce store that sells pet products.

When it came to us, the site struggled to rank and appear in the search results. Indeed it was not ranking for any kind of commercial terms, to begin with.

And we all know that no visibility means no traffic, no leads, no transactions and worse, no revenue.

With that in mind, our goals were to:

  • Audit the website and fix all SEO issues
  • Rank commercial/transactional terms
  • Build relevant, high-quality backlinks

…in order to increase online visibility and organic search traffic.

However, this was easier said than done!

The Biggest Challenges We Had to Overcome

Here are the 3x main issues we had to face in order to help the site grow:

  • The website had multiple product pages
  • The main category pages did not appear within the top 5 pages
  • The site was not ranking for any type of commercial term

These aren’t issues that you can overcome easily, so we had to put together a solid plan of attack…

Creating The Plan Of Attack

Our plan of attack was pretty simple and included only 4 steps.

  • Step #1 – Carry out a technical SEO audit to find and fix the problems holding the site back.
  • Step #2 – Create a niche-relevant link-building campaign.
  • Step #3 – Ensure all pages were properly indexed.
  • Step #4 – Make sure keyword associations were made effectively.

Once all of this was taken care of, we started to see some pretty good results…

The Results Are In

The biggest jumps were seen after a Panda update.

This increase was down to a major SEO website restructure and meant the site saw really big jumps during the critical algorithm update.

By building a solid link base from niche-relevant pet-related websites, we increased the DA and Trust of the site.

And quickly achieved the major traffic increases that our client needed in order to cash in during the busy Christmas period.

Ranking Results

Big boosts were made between May and June and then more significant jumps made during September-
