SEO for consumer Electronics
How SEO implementation for a multinational consumer Electronics brand significantly increased organic traffic & revenues
Executive Summary
A multinational consumer electronics company’s e-commerce website was garnering organic traffic disproportionately lower to its market share. As a result, a large proportion of the brand’s products were being purchased from online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay rather than its own e-commerce portal. GenY Medium was engaged to enhance the website’s Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in a way its organic traffic increases resulting in a subsequent increase in revenue from the web property. SEO for e-commerce websites is known to be extremely complex because of the number of product listings and the intense competition from other brands and aggregators. The strategy was to rank for brand keywords versus generic keywords and within brand keywords focus on transactional and long tail keywords which have lower competition but are of higher intent, drawing in revenue-yielding traffic. The focus was on high ticket products first and then the lower ticket ones. Page load speed was also improved with appropriate technological interventions. A good volume of high-quality backlinks generated to boost the website’s Domain Authority (DA).
