The Challenge

A dated storefront — The design felt old and created friction at the moments that matter most — browsing, product discovery, and checkout.

Stuck on page three — An average search position of 23.4 meant the store almost never appeared where customers click, starving it of high-intent traffic.

A softening trend — Sales (−40%), orders (−31%), and conversion (−34%) were all declining year-over-year at the start of the engagement.

Low order value — With an average order value near $284, every sale left money on the table — merchandising wasn’t working hard enough.

Our Approach

A rebuilt, conversion-first storefront — New theme with a clean, modern layout, streamlined navigation and product discovery, and a tightened checkout flow to remove friction and lift order value.

A solid technical SEO foundation — Fixed crawlability, indexation, and site architecture, improved Core Web Vitals, and rolled out clean metadata and structured data across the catalog.

On-page & content built around search demand — Mapped the catalog to high-intent search terms, rewrote titles and category content to match how customers search, and built topical depth to compete for page one.

Merchandising tuned for order value — Reworked how products, bundles, and cross-sells are presented — the lever that pushed average order value up roughly 95%.

Results: Steadier Traffic, Far More Revenue

Comparing the pre-engagement window with the eight months after, the rebuilt store generated more revenue in ~24% less time — driven by an average order value that nearly doubled. Sessions held essentially flat, the clearest sign the store now monetizes the same traffic far more effectively.

Results: From Page Three to Page One

Average Google position improved from 23.4 to 9.7 — a 13.7-place jump that moves the store off page three and onto page one. Impressions rose 37%, though clicks dipped slightly as the store’s footprint broadened into higher-funnel queries — a pattern common across ecommerce, and one that didn’t cost the business: revenue and order value climbed regardless.

The Proof: Straight From the Source

Every figure comes directly from the store’s own analytics — Shopify and Google Search Console.

The Impact

A dated, page-three store became a page-one storefront earning roughly 79% more revenue each month — without buying more traffic. With sessions essentially flat, growth came from a store rebuilt to convert, plus fresh page-one rankings that are still maturing into more organic clicks.

The rankings are young and the store is newly optimized — the two combine into a compounding engine. As the page-one positions mature and conversion and order value keep improving, the store is positioned to convert its hard-won visibility into sustained, profitable growth.
