Case Study

SEO Transformation for an eCommerce Brand

Client Overview

This eCommerce client specializes in ozone water and air purifiers, offering a diverse range of products to improve indoor air and water quality. When they engaged with Forest City Digital, their online presence was minimal, with little more than brand-name recognition. The client sought to migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify while establishing a robust SEO strategy to drive organic growth and conversions.

The Challenge

Lack of SEO Foundation: The client had no collection pages, minimal product page descriptions, and little to no search-optimized content.

Limited Search Visibility: Their existing online presence did not capture demand beyond brand-name searches.

Content Gaps: The site lacked educational, informational, and purchase-intent-driven content.

Competitive Landscape: The market was saturated, requiring a tailored approach to stand out in organic search results.

The Solution

Forest City Digital crafted a six-month SEO roadmap to establish a solid foundation for organic growth. This included a mix of technical, on-page, and content-focused strategies:

Technical Optimization

Migrated the website from BigCommerce to Shopify, ensuring proper 301 redirects to maintain SEO equity.

Implemented structured data, including schema markup for collections, product pages, reviews, and FAQs, to enhance search visibility.

Content Optimization

Conducted deep audits of the client’s website and competitors to identify gaps and opportunities.

Developed optimized product descriptions aligned with user search intent, increasing relevance and engagement.

Revamped collection pages with a structured approach:

Above-the-Fold Content: Optimized headers, short descriptions, and hero images with proper alt text.

Below-the-Fold Content: Added detailed descriptions, product information, and FAQs with schema markup to improve search ranking and user experience.

Content Creation Strategy

Created a mix of long-form blog posts for top-of-funnel awareness and mid- to bottom-funnel content to target high-intent keywords.

Established a regular cadence of 1-2 blog posts per week over six months, driving consistent organic traffic growth.

Link Acquisition

Performed outreach to secure 1-3 high-quality backlinks per month, building domain authority and improving rankings.
