Case study: 184.091% increase in organic traffic for a vape Shopify brand 📈
An online Shopify vape store wanted to;
- Increase organic revenue 💰
- Increase traffic 📈
- Increase organic market share 🍰
- Improve UX 🛍️
This online e-commerce Shopify brand approached me to seek our Shopify SEO services to help them achieve organic growth.
Here is why they needed my help:
❌ Too much reliance on ads: With low ROI ads, the business wanted to garner more traffic to their site through search
❌ Poor online presence for the quality of product: Their website had few visitors and generated fewer sales because of their poor Shopify SEO. Looking to scale: The business had laid down foundations to support growth with new products and staff.
❌ Needed to optimise Shopify: The enterprise wasn’t sure how to go about Shopify SEO since Shopify SEO technical issues require special attention.
We grew the store by at least a 184.091% organic traffic increase in five months, including pushing up high-value collections and product pages within the top 5 positions on Google. Part of the strategy also included optimising eCommerce product page templates. I created my own eCommerce CRO checklist Google Sheet to help with conversions.
Auditing and Building The Shopify Strategy Roadmap 📈
The Shopify SEO problems to fix
❌ The brand was making it difficult for users to find related topical product journeys.
❌ As with many SEO e-commerce projects, indexed Shopify tags were a big concern. While they are a fantastic Shopify feature that makes it easy for users to narrow down product selection and allow you to categorise products, they are a thin/duplicate nightmare
❌ The brand had too many bad pages indexed in Google and no control over them within the Shopify robots.txt
❌ Product page templates were weak and lacked social proof
❌ Poor use of schema
❌ Poor use of internal linking
❌ Weak on-page
❌ Bad CTR strategy
