Niche: Indoor Plant eCommerce

1. The Challenge

In October 2024, a plant-focused e-commerce store was struggling with limited organic visibility, ranking for only 19 keywords. The website faced challenges such as minimal content, under-optimised product pages, and a lack of structured keyword targeting. Despite offering a diverse range of indoor plants, the site wasn’t attracting the organic traffic it deserved.

2. The Strategy

To improve rankings and visibility, we implemented a focused SEO approach tailored to the plant e-commerce space:

Technical Fixes

We conducted a full audit to resolve crawl errors, improve load times, ensure mobile responsiveness, and implement structured data for better indexing.

Keyword Research & Mapping

We identified high-intent keywords like “rare indoor plants” and “buy indoor plants online,” as well as specific plant names, then mapped them to specific product and category pages.

On-Page Optimisation

We optimised meta titles, descriptions, headers, and product content to improve relevance and help pages rank for target queries.

Content Creation

We introduced blog content around plant care, styling tips, and indoor gardening to support SEO and bring in long-tail traffic.

Backlink Building

We acquired backlinks from reputable gardening blogs and directories to build domain authority and strengthen organic visibility.
