Case study: SEO for Shopmarketing.ro, 260% organic traffic growth in 12 months

1. About the client

Shopmarketing.ro is an agency specialising in promotion and digital marketing for online stores, built in-house by our company, GOAI Promovare of Alba Iulia. The platform offers a complete set of services for growing eCommerce visibility and sales: SEO, Google Ads campaigns, Facebook Ads, retargeting, social media marketing and email marketing, with the emphasis on results that can be measured and matched to each client's objectives.

Main services and categories:

• On-page and off-page SEO (categories, products, meta tags, URL structure, link building)
• PPC campaigns (Google Shopping, Search, Display, Facebook and Instagram Ads)
• Integrated digital marketing strategies (retargeting, email marketing, social media management)
• A free SEO audit and an initial consultation tailored to the business
• Transparent monthly reporting and continuous adjustments, for organic traffic and conversions alike
• Work with online stores of any size and niche, backed by experience in eCommerce since 2007

Starting position, at launch in 2024:

• Minimal organic traffic: under 300 visits a month
• Little visibility on competitive searches such as "online store promotion Romania", "eCommerce SEO" and "Google Ads campaigns for stores"
• Strong competition from large digital marketing agencies and from freelancers
• A new platform with limited on-page work, no educational content and weak backlinks

Main objectives: grow organic traffic, establish the agency as an expert in eCommerce promotion, attract new clients through qualified leads (free audit requests), and build authority in the online store marketing niche.

2. The strategy

We applied an integrated SEO and content marketing strategy, adapted to the 2025-2026 Google algorithms, with the emphasis on E-E-A-T, content that genuinely helps eCommerce owners, and optimization for marketing service searches. It ran in three phases:

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

• Full SEO audit: speed, Core Web Vitals and a clear, service-friendly URL structure
• Rewritten titles and meta descriptions, for example "Online store promotion, SEO and Google Ads | Shopmarketing.ro"
• Schema.org for Service, FAQ, Organization and LocalBusiness
• Service and free audit pages optimized for featured snippets and AI answers

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

• An educational blog with more than 45 articles, such as "How to grow online store sales by 50% through SEO in 2025", "A complete guide to Google Shopping campaigns and the common mistakes" and "Facebook retargeting for eCommerce: strategies that work"
• Sustainable link building: our own network of 120+ sites, plus guest posts on Romanian eCommerce, entrepreneurship and digital marketing blogs
• Local and national SEO: optimization for Romanian searches such as "online store promotion agency" and "SEO Alba Iulia", with Google Business Profile integration

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

• Monthly Google Analytics and Search Console reporting
• UX improvements: a free audit request form, live chat, testimonials from real clients, an estimated ROI calculator
• Adjustments driven by seasonal data, such as Black Friday and sale periods, and by Google updates
