15,000+ High-Value Keywords Ranked on Google’s First Page

Client Overview

One of Nigeria’s largest eCommerce platforms, this company has been a dominant player in the online marketplace, offering a wide range of products, from electronics and fashion to groceries and home essentials. Despite its market-leading position, the company was losing out on massive organic search opportunities due to poor SEO visibility and increasing competition from both local and global rivals.

The Challenge: A Giant Struggling to Stay on Top

Even as an industry leader, the company faced major SEO hurdles that threatened its organic traffic, conversions, and overall market dominance:

1. Intense Competition Across Multiple Categories

With thousands of sellers and international competitors targeting high-value product keywords, staying ahead in search rankings was becoming increasingly difficult. The company was losing traffic to more SEO-optimized competitors, even for products where they offered better pricing and availability.

2. Underperforming Content Strategy

• Many product and category pages were not optimized for high-intent keywords, making it harder for potential buyers to find their offerings.
• The site lacked engaging, SEO-rich content that could educate and convert shoppers.
• There was no clear keyword hierarchy, leading to cannibalization and missed ranking opportunities.

3. Technical SEO Roadblocks

• Slow page speeds were increasing bounce rates and negatively affecting rankings.
• Duplicate content issues were causing indexing problems, preventing Google from properly ranking key pages.
• Broken links and poor URL structures created a frustrating user experience.

4. Scaling Traffic Across Multiple Verticals

The company needed to maintain organic growth not just in its core categories (electronics, fashion, and beauty), but also in emerging ones like groceries and home essentials.

The Goal

• Dominate search rankings for high-intent keywords.
• Increase organic traffic and reduce dependence on paid ads.
• Improve conversions by making the site more search-friendly and user-friendly.
