Chapter IThe context

A previous agency had delivered a beautiful rising curve, built on purchased links and assembly-line content. At Google’s next update, everything collapsed — and the agency blamed “algorithm volatility.”

The client came to us burned, with one simple question: can growth actually last?

Chapter IIWhat we found
  • A toxic link profile inherited from the old strategy.
  • Near-identical product pages, by the hundreds.
  • Category pages with no content at all.
  • A blog disconnected from the catalog, ranking on queries with no purchase intent.
Chapter IIIWhat we did

Link profile cleanup, categories rebuilt as true landing pages — content in service of the purchase, not beside it —, differentiated product pages on the profitable lines, and a blog reconnected to the catalog: every article pushes toward a category.

Nothing spectacular, everything measurable.

The counter-proof

What this traffic would cost in Google Ads.

In ecommerce, the average Shopping click sells for around $1.50 — and far more on competitive queries. Over the period of the curve:

Estimate based on public CPCs for the sector. The real number depends on the queries — and it is rarely lower.

Once earned, this traffic is not billed by the click.
Today

SEO that collapses was never SEO.

A year later, the plateau is still climbing. It is the proof that matters most to us: growth built within the rules rides through updates instead of fearing them.

Why this client is anonymous: we protect our clients from negative SEO. Their data, however, is real — every curve comes straight from Google Search Console, and we gladly share these properties, screen open, during the discovery call.
