The Challenge

Building demand and visibility for a brand starting from zero

Scooteroo needed an entire SEO program built from the ground up – the domain had no meaningful organic presence, no content strategy, and no team or process in place to sustain growth once it started.

01

No existing SEO foundation

The domain carried effectively zero organic traffic and no ranking keyword footprint at the start of the engagement – there was no baseline to build on.

02

Content not mapped to search intent

Early content wasn’t built around what shoppers were actually searching for, limiting both visibility and conversion from the pages that did exist.

03

No SEO-ready campaign landing pages

Marketing campaigns had nowhere organic-friendly to send traffic, leaving paid spend to do all of the work alone.

04

No scalable site architecture

As the product catalog grew, the site had no internal linking or architecture plan to help search engines – or shoppers – find the right pages.

05

Zero authority & backlink profile

With no existing link profile, the site had nothing to signal trust or relevance to search engines against established competitors.

06

No SEO team structure or reporting cadence

There was no dedicated team, workflow, or regular reporting rhythm in place to sustain SEO work once it started.

Strategy & Execution

A 17-month program built from a blank slate

With no existing SEO foundation to inherit, the engagement combined ground-up strategy with hands-on execution and team leadership – six connected work streams built to compound over time.

01

SEO strategy & roadmapping

Planned short-term and long-term SEO initiatives from scratch, implemented efficient workflows, and kept the strategy current as algorithms and best practices evolved.

02

Search intent & content optimization

Analyzed search intent to ensure content matched genuine user needs, and collaborated with content creators to build new SEO-friendly content and optimize what already existed.

03

Landing pages for campaigns

Created optimized, user-friendly landing pages for marketing campaigns to maximize organic search visibility alongside paid efforts.

04

Site architecture & internal linking

Recommended and implemented improvements to site architecture, internal linking, and content structure to support the growing catalog and improve crawlability.

05

Authority & link building

Collaborated with the team on link-worthy content and executed outreach campaigns to build the site’s backlink profile from zero.

06

Team leadership & reporting

Built and led a small team of SEO specialists – setting goals, assigning tasks, and guiding their work – while establishing a regular reporting cadence for stakeholders.
