About the Client
An online retailer specializing in high-end, sustainable home goods.
Goals: They needed to not only increase traffic but ensure that the traffic was from relevant sources that would convert into sales.
Starting Point: Their backlink profile was sparse, and most of their traffic came from paid ads, which was expensive and not scalable.
The Challenge: Driving Traffic That Converts
For eCommerce brands, traffic is only half the battle. The client's main obstacles were:
- Attracting referral traffic that was genuinely interested in their products, not just window-shopping.
- Getting their products featured on influential lifestyle, design, and home decor blogs.
- Reducing their reliance on costly paid advertising channels for customer acquisition.
