Project Overview
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.
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
Additionally, enterprise reporting requirements extended beyond marketing – including data requirements for investor communications.
The programme was delivered over a three-year structured transformation.
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
Comprehensive keyword-to-product intent mapping
Elimination of irrelevant traffic sources
Commercial query prioritisation
Product-level visibility optimisation
Structured data implementation across product categories
Entity reinforcement strategy
Featured snippet optimisation

Cross-divisional SEO consultancy

Technical collaboration with internal IT and development teams
Backlink profile cleanup and risk mitigation
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.
Traffic quality improved significantly through removal of non-converting search terms.
Product sample requests +44%
Call clicks +37%
Email clicks +50%
Contact form submissions +36%
PDF downloads +48%

Product page visibility strengthened materially across multiple global divisions.
Beyond traffic growth, the programme delivered:
Structured SEO governance within a complex enterprise environment
Improved collaboration between marketing divisions
Clear performance attribution
Technical alignment between marketing and IT
Reduced dependency on non-qualified traffic
Search transitioned from an underdeveloped channel to a structured, commercially aligned growth system.
