Campaign Overview

A Focused 18-Month Authority-Building Campaign

The campaign ran from February 2022 through July 2023. Most resources were concentrated on link building for commercially important wholesale pet-product pages, while selective on-page improvements strengthened keyword targeting and relevance where needed.

01

Authority for Priority Pages

Link building was the primary campaign activity, supporting pages that targeted the most commercially valuable wholesale product searches.

  • Links directed toward priority landing pages
  • Support for nationwide search competition
  • Continued authority development over 18 months
02

Selective On-Page SEO

Minor on-page changes were applied where stronger keyword alignment or clearer commercial relevance could improve the effectiveness of the link-building work.

  • Priority keyword and page alignment
  • Metadata and content refinements
  • Improved targeting of related search variations
03

Connected Keyword Coverage

The campaign targeted a broad commercial topic group rather than relying on one product or one isolated keyword.

  • Wholesale dog hoodies, shirts and clothing
  • Wholesale collars, leashes and accessories
  • Wholesale pet and breeder supply searches
13 Priority tracked keywords initially ranking in the top 10 Four in positions 1–3 and nine in positions 4–10

Two complementary SEO data sources are used

Rankinity documents the positions and distribution of priority keywords tracked throughout the campaign. Ahrefs provides broader third-party estimates of total organic keyword visibility and search traffic. The case therefore reports ranking growth and estimated organic visibility without making claims about verified clicks, conversions, leads, sales or revenue.

Priority Keyword Results

Four Core Wholesale Keywords Reached Position #1

Rankinity tracking shows substantial improvement across the priority keyword group. Four important wholesale dog apparel terms reached the first organic position, while numerous pet supply, clothing, accessory and boutique searches moved from positions 40–100+ into the first page.
