10x increase in organic and local traffic for online plant company
The Client
The client is a one stop online destination for all your gardening needs. They specialize in providing a diverse range of exotic and unique plants. They offer high-quality, rare plant varieties to enthusiasts and collectors, focusing on delivering exceptional horticultural experiences and personalized service to plant lovers.
With a focus on delivering premium products to customers looking for unique and high-end gifts, the client wanted to scale its online presence and attract a broader customer base. Despite having a strong product lineup, they faced challenges in increasing organic visibility and traffic to their e-commerce store.
The objective
Despite the growth in online plant sales, the client struggled to increase its own sales. Factors such as limited digital marketing efforts, low brand visibility, and a lack of targeted customer engagement hindered their ability to capitalize on the expanding market.
The Challenge
- Low Organic Visibility: Despite offering premium products, their website ranked poorly for many relevant search terms, resulting in low organic traffic.
- Competitive Industry: The online floral market is highly competitive, with established players dominating the top search results for many high-traffic keywords.
- Lack of Targeted Content: The site had limited content that targeted specific customer queries or seasonal trends, missing out on key SEO opportunities.
- Underutilized Local SEO: Although the company offered nationwide shipping, they did not fully capitalize on local search traffic for nearby flower delivery and event-related services.
The Solution / Our Approach
To address these challenges, we implemented a multi-faceted SEO strategy focused on driving organic growth and increasing search engine visibility. Our strategy included targeted keyword research, on-page optimization, content creation, local SEO enhancements, and technical improvements. Comprehensive Keyword Research
We began with in-depth keyword research, identifying high-intent keywords relevant to exotic flowers, floral arrangements, and gifting occasions. This included product-specific terms like “luxury flower delivery,” “rare orchid arrangements,” and “same-day exotic flower delivery.”

- Focused on location-based search queries for flower delivery.
- Mapped keywords to product categories and blog content to drive both transactional and informational searches.
