Google’s AI Overviews and busier search pages are shaking up informational search. If your traffic plan leans on blog posts, expect the numbers to move around.
I found 100+ SEO and Shopify issues in the first 30 days. Fixing all of them would have kept the team busy for months without moving a single commercial number.
Impressions were actually down 9% in this period. What mattered was who clicked: more of the right shoppers landing on pages that help profits.
Shopify, Google and ChatGPT are all changing how shopping works. My answer is product-led SEO: make the catalogue itself easier to find, understand and buy from. Select each part of the framework.
Materials, dimensions, stones, sizing, care. The details a jewellery buyer checks before they trust a product page are the same details search engines and AI tools read.
Deliverable: a product data standard the whole catalogue follows.
Clicks to pages that help profits lifted by 27%, with a 37% CTR increase, over 90 days. Average position improved from 8.4 to 8.
Impressions fell 9.1% in the same window. Part of that is the volatility every eCommerce team should expect from informational search, as AI Overviews and busier results pages reshape what gets seen.
The commercial read: the catalogue attracted fewer but better-qualified visits. That is the trade a product-led strategy aims for, though this comparison alone does not prove every extra click came from the work, and no revenue figure was supplied for this period.

If you run a jewellery or luxury DTC brand, your product pages are where search, Shopping and AI discovery meet the sale. Rich data, honest merchandising and a clean taxonomy compound over time.
Expect volatility in informational search. Build your plan around the pages that acquire customers who buy.
