Project Overview

A global manufacturer operating across multiple continents

Required a structured search transformation programme.

The organisation had:

  • 10,000+ indexed pages

  • Multiple divisional marketing teams

  • Independent product additions across regions

  • No formal SEO governance framework

  • Significant technical SEO gaps

  • No structured data deployment

  • Poor internal linking

  • Cannibalisation across product portfolios

  • No attribution clarity

  • Low branded organic search demand

Organic performance was materially underdeveloped for an organisation of this scale.

At programme commencement:

  • <20,000 organic sessions per month

  • <9,000 ranking keywords

  • High levels of misaligned, non-converting traffic

  • No structured approach to intent mapping

Search visibility did not reflect the company’s global market position.

The Structural Challenge

This was not a tactical optimisation exercise.

Core issues included:

  • Siloed product uploads across divisions

  • No unified taxonomy or content governance

  • Technical compliance weaknesses

  • Weak crawl architecture

  • Lack of internal linking strategy

  • Absence of structured data and entity modelling

  • Governance bottlenecks slowing implementation

  • Fragmented data reporting across regions

 

Project details

Additionally, enterprise reporting requirements extended beyond marketing – including data requirements for investor communications.

Strategic Intervention

The programme was delivered over a three-year structured transformation.

Enterprise Search Architecture

  • Full technical audit across 10,000+ URLs

  • Sitecore structural alignment

  • Internal linking governance framework

  • Cannibalisation resolution across product portfolios

  • Removal of non-converting, misaligned keyword targeting

Intent & Commercial Alignment

  • Comprehensive keyword-to-product intent mapping

  • Elimination of irrelevant traffic sources

  • Commercial query prioritisation

  • Product-level visibility optimisation

Structured Data & AI Visibility

  • Structured data implementation across product categories

  • Entity reinforcement strategy

  • Featured snippet optimisation

  • AI Overview visibility positioning

Governance & Divisional Alignment

  • Cross-divisional SEO consultancy

  • Alignment between content, social, and SEO

  • Technical collaboration with internal IT and development teams

  • Backlink profile cleanup and risk mitigation

Enterprise Reporting Infrastructure

  • Custom Looker Studio dashboards

  • Divisional performance reporting

  • Investor-level data clarity

  • KPI alignment across global regions

The transformation required coordinated engagement across marketing, IT, content, and senior stakeholders.

Measurable Outcomes

  • 37% net increase in qualified organic traffic
  • Organic sessions scaled from <20,000 to 140,000+ each month
