+412% Organic Traffic in 14 Months

The Challenge

The problem worth solving.

A Canadian online retailer in the home goods space came to us after three years of stagnant organic traffic. Despite having a solid product catalogue and loyal customer base, their website was generating fewer than 4,000 monthly visitors from search — and almost none of those visits were converting into sales. Their competitors were dominating the first page for every high-intent category keyword they cared about.

The diagnosis was clear: the site suffered from a combination of severe technical issues — over 800 crawl errors, duplicate content across hundreds of product variants, uncompressed images adding 4+ seconds to page load — and a complete absence of content strategy. Category pages had thin copy, no internal linking architecture existed, and the domain had earned fewer than 20 referring domains in its entire history. Organic search was essentially dead as a revenue channel.
