Insight

We began working with Military Shop in mid-2020 as they were wanting to improve their online results during the pandemic. They had a strong brand presence in their industry with keyword rankings strong for generic terms like “Military Shop” but were struggling with other categories and ranking other keywords. We created 355 new categories based on customer research to target over 4,000 potential keywords.

Our Approach

We expanded their target keywords to new subcategories that could rank easily, such as medals, uniforms, and tactical gear. We also expanded the audience base to military enthusiasts, which helped increase their audience and expand the brand. This enhanced keyword research strategy resulted in a more significant online presence and a broader audience base.

We also:
  • Segmented URLs to minimise clicks to purchase (how many times a user needs to visit a new page/click until they can check out)
  • Enhanced the menu to increase user experience
  • Executed a custom sidebar with indexable static links that act as internal links
  • Mapped and executed 301 redirects
  • Optimised the website for mobile use
  • Researched and optimised pages for sales such as ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day

Year on Year Results

In just over a year (January 2022 to May 2023), we have seen exciting growth for Military Shop.

Summary

When we began working with Military Shop they had just experienced a major drop in first page keywords and organic channel growth. We succeeded in our primary challenge: reversing this and growing the website to new heights. Our strategy provided a clear pathway to growth by connecting ready-to-buy shoppers to Military Shop’s offering.
