Case Overview

The Challenge & The Outcome

Client

HBDepot.ca — online store specializing in bathroom vanities, faucets, toilets, and home improvement products.

Goal

Increase organic traffic, improve search rankings, and boost conversions.

Scope

Web design + development + 6-month full Elite SEO package — built the ecommerce site end-to-end, then ranked it.

Initial State

Where HBDepot.ca Started

At the start of the engagement, the website faced the typical issues holding back most ecommerce sites — but more severe than average.

  • Low search visibility — the site was not ranking for any of its key commercial queries.
  • Thin, unoptimized content on category and product pages.
  • Technical errors affecting indexing, plus slow page speed.
  • Weak backlink profile and low domain authority.

Our Approach
