Online Florist Brand Case Study
About the Project
It is a newly established e-commerce brand that sells different types of flowers. Although it hasn’t been a long time since it was established, it has become competitive with other brands in the sector in a short period of time. The brand, which sells many types of flowers for home and garden decoration on its site, has also gained the appreciation of its customers with informative articles about flower types. Although this brand we provided our services for had a successful social media account, it did not have a user traffic for its website.
During the 1 year that we worked together, we managed to acquire a considerable amount of traffic. Despite the stiff competition in the sector, we obtained a large amount of traffic from searches. Let us share with you the details of the rapid progress that took place between January 2020 and December 2020, the time period in which we worked with this brand.
Here’s What We Did?
In the project we started from scratch in January 2020, we have come a long way in 1 year and we assisted the newly established brand to increase its sales in a short time. You can examine the work we have done for this brand, which we provided SEO services in 2020, with the details under the titles.
E-Commerce SEO Works
As examples of the works in terms of e-commerce SEO;
- Organizing and optimizing the category tree,

- Formation and optimization of category descriptions,
- Site-wide technical improvements,
- Custom works for specific product groups that the brand wants to be at the foreground,

Custom Software
This brand we provided our services for was using one of these custom software for its e-commerce site. Since it is a custom software, we have successfully completed our content and technical developments without any negative impact on the SEO process.
Specific Works to Intended Categories
Due to the fact that there are many products on the website we have worked on, with such a prioritization, maximum benefit and revenue growth has been acquired.
However, as Seorative, we assert that site-wide practices are necessary and we work accordingly. We think that the potential of SEO does not totally manifest itself with works done by simply choosing 2, 3 or 5 target keywords.
In addition to applying site-wide practices, we also apply custom works to certain pages that we pick by considering the words or pages that the brand attaches special importance to.

We have listed the steps we have taken in our technical optimization process in general terms below;
- Identification of areas and situations where the site is faulty or can be improved in terms of technical SEO,

- Defining the order in which the developments we suggest will be done, in a way which ensures that they provide maximum amount of impact in the fastest manner.
- Inspecting the technical developments applied to the site,
- Following the integration of the suggested technical developments, the identification of new technical developments and then the repetition of the process,
- Continuing the work until the site is flawless and most optimized in terms of technical SEO.
