Top 3 Search Coverage

TL;DR
  • 100% of tracked category searches ranked in the top three positions
  • 29% of tracked searches reached the number one position
  • Organic traffic from the priority category more than doubled year-on-year
  • Search visibility became concentrated around one primary high-performing collection page
  • SEO became a more reliable acquisition channel for purchase-driven traffic

The Challenge

Cherrie Baby stocked a high-demand product category with strong purchase intent, but search visibility was fragmented across multiple similar category pages.

Instead of concentrating rankings and traffic around one strong collection page, performance was being split across competing URLs.

The opportunity was clear:

Concentrate search visibility around a single high-performing category page and capture more purchase-driven traffic from existing demand.

The Strategy

01

Refining the primary category page

Updated the main category page so its structure, content, and internal linking better matched how customers were searching.

02

Consolidating duplicate category paths

Removed overlapping category URLs so search engines consistently prioritised the strongest page instead of splitting performance across competing versions.

03

Removing technical barriers to stronger rankings

Resolved structural issues that were limiting crawl efficiency and making it harder for the primary category page to perform consistently.

The results

Over the year-on-year comparison period, Cherrie Baby strengthened its presence across one of its most commercially important product categories. Exact keywords, search volumes, and raw traffic figures have been intentionally omitted to protect client data.

  • 100% of the tracked category searches ranked in the top three positions, turning the primary category page into a consistent acquisition channel for purchase-driven traffic.
  • 29% of tracked searches reached the number one position, showing stronger category dominance across highly competitive branded search terms.
  • Average rankings improved by approximately 8 positions across the tracked search set, reflecting the impact of clearer category structure and stronger page relevance.
  • Roughly one-third of new traffic came from supporting search variations, reducing reliance on a single high-volume term and creating more resilient organic growth.

Strategic Takeaways

A clearer category structure can turn existing search demand into more consistent commercial growth.

Final word

For Cherrie Baby, this was not about creating demand. It was about capturing existing demand more effectively by removing structural friction and strengthening the page most likely to convert.

Many ecommerce brands face the same challenge. When category visibility is fragmented, growth becomes harder to sustain. A clearer structure creates a stronger foundation for long-term acquisition.
