Client: A national e-commerce brand with a catalogue of over 50,000 SKUs.
Challenges We Faced
Large-scale e-commerce sites face massive and unique SEO challenges:
Massive Technical Debt
The site suffered from severe index bloat, crawl budget waste, and thousands of 404 errors identified by AI crawlers.
Inefficient Content Pipeline
The client’s team could not manually create unique descriptions or blog content at the scale needed to compete.
Thin & Duplicate Content
With 50,000+ products, thousands of product descriptions were thin, auto-generated, or duplicated, causing poor rankings.
Missed Keyword Opportunities
The brand was failing to capture high-intent, long-tail keywords or capitalize on emerging seasonal trends.
Low Conversion Rate
Despite high paid traffic, organic traffic had a high bounce rate on category pages, indicating poor user experience and intent mismatch.
