SEO Case Studies
Real engagements where careful, compounding SEO work moved the numbers that matter — organic traffic, keyword visibility, and qualified leads. Each case study below covers the starting position, the work delivered, and the results, taken directly from client-side analytics.
01
UK Gifting E-commerce — From plateau to compounding growth
E-commerce · UK
Gifting & hampers brand · 6-month engagement · Nov 2025 – Apr 2026
A UK-based online gifting brand specialising in curated hampers, festival-specific products (Rakhi, Raksha Bandhan, Diwali), and India-to-UK gift delivery. When the engagement began, traffic had plateaued in the low hundreds of monthly visits.
- Thin, duplicative pages diluting topical authority across rakhi and gifting categories.
- Long, inconsistent URL slugs (a verbose
/blogs-of-uk-gifts-portal/path) hurting crawl efficiency. - Limited schema markup, weak internal linking, no defined approach for AI Overviews.
- Festival-driven categories under-optimised ahead of key demand cycles.
| Keyword | Position | Volume | Traffic |
|---|---|---|---|
| uk rakhi hamper | #1 | 70 | 56 |
| when is raksha bandhan 2025 | #6 | 2,900 | 63 |
| raksha bandhan 2025 | #8 | 33,100 | 165 |
| rakhi 2025 | #9 | 33,100 | 231 |
| raksha bandhan 2025 date | #9 | 4,400 | 83 |
| send rakhi to india | #7 | 1,000 | 19 |
- Compounding works — foundational work translated into the steepest gains in the final stretch.
- Content discipline outperformed volume — practical, product-focused prose beat polished literary copy.
- URL hygiene paid off without sacrificing product-differentiating signals.
- AI search is now a first-order channel — SERP-feature pickup landed before most competitors moved.

LA Black Car Service — Owning the LAX airport-transfer market
Local SEO · USA
Black car service · Los Angeles · LAX airport transfers
The goal was to increase local search visibility for high-intent airport-transfer queries (e.g. lax car service) and convert that demand into measurable actions from Google surfaces — calls, direction requests, and website visits. The starting point was low organic visibility and limited traction from Google Business Profile.
| Search Term | Impressions |
|---|---|
| lax car service | 1,458 |
| car service to lax | 1,216 |
| car service lax | 894 |
| car service los angeles | 758 |
| lax limo service | 429 |
Data sources: GA4 (last calendar year) and Google Business Profile Insights (Sep 2025 – Jan 2026).
03
Australian Sports Eyewear Brand — Strong brand, weak organic surface
E-commerce · Australia
Sports eyewear · 4-month engagement
A strong, recognisable brand wasn't translating into organic visibility. Despite healthy direct traffic, the site was leaking opportunity on commercial search queries — bounce rates were high and category pages weren't ranking.
- Low organic traffic despite strong brand recognition.
- Duplicate content across similar product variants.
- Under-optimised meta titles and descriptions.
- Limited internal linking between blog and product pages.
- Missing structured data and schema for products.
Top category pages started ranking on page one for high-intent commercial keywords like performance sports sunglasses. CTR improved measurably through better meta descriptions and structured data. Session-quality metrics (duration up, bounce down) confirmed the gains weren't just traffic — they were the right traffic.
