E-Commerce SEO Case Study

Client’s Inhouse SEO Fails to Deliver: Outsourcing Saves the Day and Boosts Sales

Service: National E-Commerce SEO

The Company:

VIP Bottles is a Leicester-based distributor of premium spirits, champagnes, wines, and beers. In addition to their bricks and mortar shop, they have an e-commerce store offering a diverse range of brands.

Industry: E-commerce

The Project:

After years of inhouse SEO the client found they were not getting enough hits to make their sales targets. They were confident in their product range, they knew they simply needed more visitors to find them online. They decided to outsource the SEO service especially given Google is a major platform for them.
