The team leveraged the seoClarity platform to conduct an initial site audit which uncovered errors within their top domains. From there, they determined monthly priorities to help them reach their traffic goals in 2020.

This resulted in a list of eight key initiatives, each with their own success metrics contributing to their YOY revenue increase.

  • In January 2020, Professional Services and the SEO team began an internal links project where they increased internal links from popular products throughout their traffic-driving site pages. This led to a 7% increase in non-brand organic clicks YOY compared to product pages not receiving bump in internal links.
  • The following month, the team worked on meta tag updates for 15 pages important to the business with the highest Traffic Potential. This resulted in a +3 average rank improvement for the targeted pages.
  • To end the first quarter of 2020, the teams collaborated on a product page URL configuration and added new FAQ schema to those pages. Despite a slight (1%) decrease in product page visibility, this work contributed to a whopping 20% increase in traffic to target product pages.
  • In line with some research from pandemic-related searches in April 2020, the teams created an FAQ page based on top searches for at-home hair care terms. This page has driven 2600+ new visits since its launch.
  • The Professional Services team suggested updates to faceted navigation across traffic-driving product pages in July 2020. This drove a 200% YOY increase in organic traffic in the last 6 months of the year.
  • As part of their work, the team removed product schema from category carousels which drove a +5 average rank for those pages which allowed product pages to capture more of the transactional intent terms.
