Case study: SEO for Saltim.ro, 200% organic traffic growth in 12 months

1. About the client

Saltim.ro is an online store specialising in sleep and wellbeing products, built and managed by our company, GOAI Promovare of Alba Iulia. The site carries a varied range, including:

Mattresses (Mediflex SPINE HEALTH, S8 FLEXI SPRING, Askona ORIGINAL PRO)
Sofas and bedroom furniture
Pillows, duvets and textiles
Wellbeing products: massage gadgets, humidifiers and air purifiers, massage chairs, home fragrances

Starting position, at launch in 2024:

Low organic traffic: under 300 organic sessions a month
No visibility on competitive searches such as "orthopaedic mattresses" or "massage chairs"
Competition from large retailers like eMAG and Jysk
A new platform with minimal on-page work, no blog content and weak backlinks

Main objectives: grow organic traffic, improve Google rankings for niche keywords and increase sales through better conversion, with a focus on the Romanian market.

2. The strategy

We applied a full SEO strategy, adapted to the 2025-2026 Google algorithms, with the emphasis on AI semantics, E-E-A-T and technical work. It ran in three phases:

Phase 1: technical and on-page audit (first 3 months)

Detailed SEO audit: load speed, Core Web Vitals and duplicate content all addressed
Rewritten titles and meta descriptions, for example "Orthopaedic mattresses with free delivery | Saltim.ro"
Schema.org for products (Product, Offer, Review, FAQ)
Image optimization, alt text, and structure suited to AI answers

Phase 2: content and link building (months 4 to 8)

An active blog: more than 30 articles, such as "How to choose the right mattress for back problems" and "The benefits of a massage chair at home"
Natural link building: guest posts on Romanian health and home blogs
Local SEO: optimization for regional searches such as "mattresses Alba Iulia", with structured location data

Phase 3: monitoring and continuous work (months 9 to 12)

Monthly Google Analytics and Search Console reporting
UX additions: live chat, customer reviews, mobile app integration
Website security, and adjustments driven by real-time feedback

3. Results over 12 months, in 2025 and 2026

Organic traffic: up 200%, from roughly 300 to roughly 900 organic sessions a month on average (Google Analytics)
Rankings: top 5 for niche keywords such as "Askona mattresses Romania", "affordable massage chairs", "orthopaedic pillows"
Domain Rating (Ahrefs): from 10 to 30
Conversions: conversion rate up 100%, from 0.8% to 1.6%; monthly sales up 150%
Other metrics: bounce rate down 35%, from 70% to 45%; featured snippets for more than 20 queries
ROI: paid for itself in 5 months, at an estimated 5:1

A white-hat approach with no penalties, helped by selling points such as free delivery over 1,500 lei and 30-day returns.
