SEO case study

SEO Case Study: Confidential Precious-Metals Retailer

A legacy catalog-heavy retailer had fragmented authority signals, fragile URL structure, and diluted topical signals across legacy pages that reduced discoverability and visibility.

01 / The starting point

Years of search value had become fragmented.

Hundreds of legacy pages and inconsistent URL directives reduced signal coherence, and category pages were not consistently optimized for search demand and user journey alignment.

The first priority was recovery: preserve what had earned value, reconnect what had become fragmented, then improve the pages closest to demand.
