Luxury Watch eCommerce: 31% Traffic Growth
How We Doubled Leads Without Building a Single Backlink
The Challenge
This premium eCommerce brand in the luxury watch space was already pulling solid traffic (~800K clicks per quarter), but had critical conversion issues.
Lead conversions were flatlining
Bounce rates were climbing on product and collection pages
Technical SEO gaps were affecting crawl efficiency
The brand didn't want to invest in backlink outreach
Our Strategy: Leads-First SEO
Rather than obsessing over traffic volume, we focused on search intent and lead capture.
