From Invisible to In-Demand: How We Grew Organic Traffic for a Shed Kit Business in 12 Months

Contents

Niche: eCommerce/Garden and Kit-set Sheds

Service: SEO

1. The Challenge

A New Zealand-based business selling backyard and garden shed kits came to us with minimal organic search presence. Despite having a quality product range and national delivery, they were receiving just 5 clicks and 500 impressions per month from Google.

With most website traffic coming from paid channels, they needed a way to drive consistent, high-intent visitors organically—and convert them into buyers.

2. The Strategy

We developed a long-term SEO strategy focused on improving visibility for product-related and location-based searches.

Keyword Research Focused on Buyer Intent

We identified high-intent keywords such as “shed kits NZ,” “DIY garden sheds,” and “backyard office sheds,” then mapped these terms to relevant pages across the site.

On-Page Optimisation

Key pages were rewritten to naturally include targeted keywords in titles, headers, and body content. We also added structured data to enhance how listings appeared in Google Search.

Technical SEO Fixes

We cleaned up crawl issues, optimised the mobile experience, improved page load speeds, and ensured Google could properly index every important page.

Local SEO Enhancements

Although the business served all of NZ, we added region-specific content and optimised their Google Business Profile to rank for terms like “shed kits Auckland” and “Christchurch garden sheds.”

Link Building

We built backlinks from local directories, related blogs, and supplier sites to help increase domain authority and support long-term rankings.

3. The Results

Google Search Console:

After 12 months of consistent work, from May 24 to May 25 we saw:

  • Organic Clicks: Increased from 5 to 60 per month

  • Impressions: Increased from 500 to 4,000 per month

This represents a 12x growth in organic traffic and an 8x increase in search visibility, all without increasing ad spend.

The business now benefits from consistent traffic and leads directly from Google, creating a more sustainable marketing funnel.
