Outdoor Store SEO Case Study

200% Increase In Traffic 2 Months After Fixes

The Challenge

This site in the outdoor water sports niche was stuck on 3k-5k visitors per month. Despite this low traffic the site was still doing decent revenue, but the owner knew there was much more upside. The content on the site was top-class, but the owner was totally out of his depth in terms of technical SEO. He asked us to help. Here's what we did:

Removed over 300 tags, paginated & duplicated pages from Google's index;
Optimised the store's speed;
Created a SILO structure to pass link juice around consistently;
Fixed broken backlinks, added sitemap to Robots.txt;
Corrected on-page meta & alt tag issues;
Improved on-page setup to capture featured snippets

The Results

Just 2 months after the fixes went live, the site started climbing in the organic search positions, and was up over 200% in traffic when we last checked, the revenue coming from organic search more than doubled.
