  • Grow: Launch new Dresses by Colour pages aligned with seasonal search demand, such as yellow dresses and pink dresses.
  • Optimise: Enhance collection pages with structured SEO copy, schema improvements, and refined internal linking.
  • Evolve: Weekly monitoring of volatility, rapid response to ranking drops, proactive support for seasonal launches and identification of upcoming colour or style variations for quick optimisations.

  • Introduced Dresses by Colour collections targeting seasonal colour variations across dress themes and styles.
  • Targeted specific on-brand queries for high competition terms through the inclusion of audience-specific language and phrases. 
  • Optimised key categories at least three months in advance of trending peaks with additional small improvements during peak periods to capitalise on YoY seasonal variations. 

Technical Fixes

  • Applied canonical fixes and reinstated UK root URLs to restore indexing.
  • Validated schema and crawlability to improve eligibility for rich results.
