8 Years
Combined Engagements
The two primary eCommerce clients worked with SEO Image for a combined eight years.
The eCommerce Challenge
Competing for broad product searches against established retailers
Both businesses needed visibility beyond branded searches. Their growth depended on reaching shoppers searching for the products themselves, often before those shoppers knew which retailer they would choose.
Terms such as “laptop bags,” “laptop memory,” and “memory” placed the sites against established online retailers, manufacturers, marketplaces, and informational websites.
The SEO Strategy
A coordinated approach to product relevance and authority
The campaigns were built around the searches most likely to introduce qualified shoppers to product and category pages. SEO work supported both immediate ranking opportunities and the long-term strength of each store.
Keyword Refocusing
Priority pages were aligned with broader product terms and commercially valuable variations.
Content Strategy
Supporting content strengthened category relevance and gave search engines more context around the products offered.
Technical Review
MemorySuppliers.com received a technical SEO audit to identify barriers affecting crawlability and search performance.
Page Optimization
Product and category pages were refined around clear search themes rather than relying only on manufacturer language.
Authority Development
Multifaceted link-building supported stronger trust for competitive product searches.
Long-Term Refinement
Both engagements continued for several years, allowing the campaigns to expand beyond their initial ranking targets.
