Project Overview
A mushroom products ecommerce website came to me facing serious challenges in generating non-branded traffic and improving conversions. Most of their traffic was coming from branded searches, which limited their ability to reach new customers actively looking for mushroom-related products. I set out with clear goals:
- Boost traffic by targeting non-branded, high-intent keywords
- Enhance conversions by optimizing category pages to match search intent
- Resolve technical SEO issues affecting site performance
- Develop a content strategy that supports SEO and user engagement
- Launch link-building campaigns to build domain authority
I implemented a data-driven SEO strategy combining technical fixes, keyword research, content optimization, and link acquisition—and the results were outstanding.
