SEO Transformation: From Struggling Furniture Store to E-Commerce Leader

Client Overview

In early 2023, we were approached by Urban Haven, a US-based online furniture brand struggling to gain traction in a highly competitive market. The company specialized in affordable yet stylish home furniture, offering products such as modern sofas, ergonomic chairs, and space-saving tables.

Despite having a sleek e-commerce website, the brand faced poor search rankings, low organic traffic, and weak conversion rates.

Challenges Faced

When Urban Haven approached us, they had already invested in Google Ads and influencer marketing but weren’t seeing sustainable results. They needed organic traffic growth and a way to compete with established brands like Wayfair, West Elm, and IKEA.

Key Issues Identified:

  • No SEO Foundation: Their website had no structured SEO strategy—meta tags, schema markup, and proper URL structures were missing.
  • Severe Indexing Issues: Google had trouble indexing many pages due to poor site architecture and duplicate product descriptions.
  • Weak Domain Authority: Their backlink profile consisted mainly of low-quality directories, providing no real SEO value.
  • Poor Conversion Rates: Despite decent paid traffic, the site had a high bounce rate and low sales conversions (1.2% CR)
  • Missed Local SEO Opportunities: They had no Google My Business profile, making it hard for local customers to discover them.

Our SEO Strategy & Execution

To turn things around, we crafted a multi-phase SEO strategy designed to boost rankings, increase traffic, and enhance trust signals.

Phase 1: Technical SEO Fixes & Site Restructuring

✔ Conducted an in-depth SEO audit to identify indexing and structure issues.
✔ Optimized meta titles, descriptions, and header tags with furniture-related keywords.
✔ Fixed duplicate content issues by rewriting product descriptions and adding unique category pages.
✔ Created SEO-friendly URLs and restructured internal linking for better crawlability.
✔ Improved site speed by compressing images and removing unnecessary scripts.

Phase 2: Content Marketing & Authority Building

✔ Developed a blog content plan, targeting high-intent queries like:

  • “Best small apartment furniture ideas”
  • “How to choose an ergonomic chair for work-from-home setup”
    ✔ Published guest posts on high-authority sites in the home decor and lifestyle niche.
    ✔ Launched a link-building campaign targeting product review sites and interior design blogs.

Phase 3: Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) & Local SEO

✔ Optimized product pages by adding customer reviews, FAQs, and trust badges.
✔ A/B tested call-to-action (CTA) buttons and checkout process to reduce cart abandonment.
✔ Created and optimized their Google My Business profile, adding customer testimonials and high-quality images.
