E-commerce and online retail

What these results have in common
The Patterns Behind Every Result
Fix the foundation first. In every case, technical problems such as slow pages, missing structured data, crawl errors or a broken mobile experience were capping results. Fixing them made every later investment more effective.
Make expertise visible. The compliance firm’s expert authors, the retailer’s maker stories and the dental practice’s procedure pages all turned real expertise into content that search engines and buyers could see and trust, the qualities Google describes in its guidance on helpful, reliable content.
Win the right searches. None of these clients won by chasing the broadest terms. They won specific, high-intent searches where their expertise and location gave them an advantage.
Measure business outcomes. Leads, sales, inquiries and calls were tracked from the start, so success was judged by what mattered to each business.
SEO and GEO
Why SEO and GEO Matter in Today’s Search Landscape
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) makes sure your business appears when customers search Google and Bing. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) makes sure AI systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews understand, trust and cite your business when customers ask them for answers and recommendations.
The multi-location case study shows why both matter. When Google’s AI search changes reshuffled local results, a brand with a sound website still lost 40% of its traffic until the signals AI-generated results depend on were strengthened. Today, visibility means being found, cited and chosen.

How to read a case study
What to Look for in Any Agency’s Case Studies
When you evaluate agencies, including us, look for:
- Business outcomes, such as leads, sales or patients, not just traffic or rankings.
- A clear starting point, so you can judge the size of the improvement.
- A timeframe, so results can be compared fairly.
- A specific approach, explaining what was actually done.
- Methods that follow search engine guidelines, such as Google’s spam policies, so results last.
Our method
The Process Behind Every Case Study
Each result followed the same disciplined sequence, adapted to the client’s industry.
Audit and Baseline
We measured the starting point: rankings, traffic, technical health, local presence, AI visibility and the business outcomes that mattered, such as leads, sales or inquiries.
Prioritize
We identified the problems capping performance and the searches where the client could realistically win, then ordered work by impact.
Fix the Foundation
Technical issues, structured data, Business Profiles and data consistency came first, because they limit everything else.
Build Authority and Relevance
Expert content, procedure and product pages, local signals and earned links built the case for ranking and being cited.
Measure and Refine
Monthly reporting tracked business outcomes, and priorities shifted toward what was producing results.
Challenges we solve
The Problems These Clients Came to Us With
| Problem | Example | What fixed it |
|---|---|---|
| Invisible for core terms | Compliance firm on pages 4–5 | Targeted keyword strategy, expert content and technical fixes |
| Losing to bigger competitors | Boutique retailer vs. big-box stores | Product data, storytelling content and local SEO |
| Traffic that does not convert | Dental practice with under 1% mobile conversion | Speed, mobile booking and trust signals |
| Sudden visibility loss | Healthcare brand down 40% after AI search changes | GEO audit and local SEO |
Honest reporting
How We Report Results
Case study results are based on the client’s own analytics and tracking, measured against the starting point before the engagement and over the timeframe stated. Where we show percentages, we also try to show the underlying numbers, such as inquiries rising from 15 to 38 per location per month, so the improvement can be understood in context.
We do not cherry-pick vanity metrics or claim credit for results we did not drive. That same standard applies to the monthly reports every client receives.
Lessons across industries
Three Lessons Any Business Can Use
Your biggest opportunity may be traffic you already have. The dental practice had most of its visitors on mobile and a conversion rate below 1%. Faster pages and easier booking turned existing interest into appointments before new traffic even arrived. Check how your site performs on a phone and how easy it is to contact you.
Specific expertise beats broad keywords. The compliance firm and the boutique retailer both won by targeting precise searches where their expertise was strongest, not by chasing the terms dominated by much larger competitors.
AI search changes are a reason to act, not to panic. The healthcare brand’s 40% drop was reversed within eight weeks because the causes were diagnosed and the right signals strengthened. The same foundations, clear entities, consistent data, expert content and strong local signals, protect against future changes.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes SEOMA’s SEO and GEO services different?
Industry-specific strategies, white-hat methods, GEO built into every engagement and reporting tied to business outcomes such as leads, sales and patients.
How long does it take to see results?
Our case studies show significant results within six months, and in one case eight weeks after an AI search traffic drop. Timelines depend on your starting point, competition and industry.
Are these results typical?
Every business is different, and no agency can guarantee specific results. These case studies show what is possible with the right strategy, and we will give you an honest assessment of your own opportunity.
Why are clients not named?
We keep client details confidential. Each case study describes the client’s industry, situation, approach and results.
Can I speak with SEOMA about a similar project?
Yes. Book a strategy call and we will discuss how these approaches could apply to your business.
Do you work with businesses like mine?
We work with legal, healthcare, dental, financial services, compliance, SaaS, e-commerce, senior living, real estate and local service businesses. See industries we serve.
What is the best first step?
Run a free Signal Score or request an SEO audit to see where you stand.
How do you measure results for a client?
We agree on business metrics at the start, such as leads, sales, inquiries or calls, then track them with GA4, Search Console, call tracking and, where possible, CRM data, alongside rankings and AI visibility.
Do your case studies include AI search results?
Yes. The multi-location healthcare case study shows recovery from a traffic drop caused by AI search changes, and our GEO work measures citations in AI answers for clients.
Will you add more case studies?
Yes. We add new case studies as engagements reach meaningful milestones and clients agree to share anonymized results.
Do you work with small businesses or only large ones?
Both. Our case studies include a boutique retailer and multi-location groups, and our plans start at $1,500 per month, with one-time audits from $199.
Can results like these be achieved in AI search?
AI visibility depends on the same foundations: clear entities, consistent information, expert content and authority. Our GEO services measure and grow citations alongside rankings.
What happens after the first six months?
Most clients continue building on the foundation with new content, authority and AI search work, while monitoring protects the gains already made.
How do I choose between an audit and an ongoing plan?
If you are unsure what is holding you back, start with an audit. If the priorities are already clear, an ongoing plan gets work moving sooner.
Which industries are your case studies from?
Compliance and fiduciary services, e-commerce and online retail, and healthcare, including dental and multi-location providers.
Do you guarantee rankings or results?
No. No one controls search engines, and guarantees are a warning sign. We commit to a clear plan, white-hat methods and transparent reporting.
