Challenges

Low Organic Visibility

  • The website failed to rank for high-search-volume keywords in the liquor category, leading to overdependence on paid channels like PPC and influencer marketing for visibility and sales.

High Marketing Burn, Low ROI

  • A disproportionate spend on performance marketing—without sustainable organic contribution—was cutting deeply into profitability, especially due to thin margins in a competitive category.

Weak Organic Channel Contribution

  • Organic traffic contributed minimally to overall website traffic and revenue, making growth unpredictable and heavily reliant on paid strategies.

Technical & UX Limitations

  • Poor website navigation and structure impacted crawlability, indexing, and user experience.
  • Accessibility issues further limited audience reach and engagement.

Content Gaps & SEO Issues

  • Presence of duplicate and thin content pages hurt domain credibility.
  • Lack of unique, optimized content on major category and brand pages prevented them from ranking.
  • Internal linking was either weak or poorly implemented across key conversion paths.

Inventory & Merchandising Challenges

  • Many top-performing products were frequently out of stock (OOS), impacting SEO rankings and conversions.
  • Ineffective filter structures and underperforming site search made it harder for users to find relevant products.
