About the Brand
The Vision
Founded in 2015, this fashion brand set out on redefining style through sustainability and affordability. With its sincerity towards eco-friendly practices, the brand quickly became a go-to choice for Millennials and Gen Z consumers.
The Challenges
By 2020, the brand was faced with several SEO challenges:
-
Dependency on Paid Ads: 70% of traffic came from paid ads, placing a heavy strain on its marketing budget.
-
Stagnant Organic Visibility: Despite efforts, keyword rankings remained low, and the site lacked strong backlink authority.
-
Engagement Problems: The high bounce rate and slow page speeds were impacting user experience big time – making it very hard to convert visitors into customers.
Problems Identified
SEO Challenges
-
Low Keyword Rankings: Despite targeting high-volume keywords, the brand was unable to land in the top 10 search results.
-
Technical SEO Issues: The website constantly suffered from irregular crawls, indexing problems, and duplicate content issues — hindering its SEO performance.
-
Weak Backlink Profile: The site didn’t have many quality backlinks, making it unnecessarily tougher to compete against other fashion brands in search rankings.
User Engagement Issues
-
Bounce Rates: 68%, of the visitors quickly left without exploring further or making a purchase.
-
Slow Page Speed: With an average load time over 6 seconds, the site was clearly frustrating for users, particularly on mobile devices.
-
Cluttered Navigation: Poor internal linking and an unorganised layout made it difficult for users to find what they were looking for.
Meta Tag Problems
Content Issues
-
Keyword Gaps: Many product descriptions didn’t include important primary and secondary keywords.
-
Low-Quality Descriptions: Generic and placeholder content, like “Lorem Ipsum,” failed to engage potential customers.
-
Lack of Differentiation: Descriptions didn’t explicitly highlight what made their products stand out, like sustainable sourcing or unique features.
-
Missing Supporting Content: Key pieces of content like size guides, FAQs, and care tips were missing – increasing bounce rates, and obviously.
