About the Store
A direct-to-consumer lifestyle and home goods retailer operating on WooCommerce, serving customers nationwide across the United States. Client identity withheld at the client's request for confidentiality.
What the Store Was Struggling With
A 1,000+ SKU store trapped below 800 monthly visits due to systemic technical bloat.
The brand was entirely dependent on rising Meta and Google ad spend to generate orders. Their WooCommerce store was crippled by common technical liabilities: faceted search filters generated tens of thousands of duplicate URLs, product variants cannibalized parent rankings, and slow database queries pushed mobile load speeds past 5.6 seconds. Organic impressions were stagnant, and key category landing pages were completely buried past page four of Google search results.
What We Set Out to Achieve
Strategic organic performance goals agreed with store leadership before kicking off the recovery.
