+50% SEO traffic growth in 6 months for Naturiam.ma
How Digiseo transformed a Shopify e-commerce store into a Google authority in natural hair care through an acquisition-focused SEO strategy.
Case Study :
The impact of a local and multilingual SEO strategy on the organic visibility of a cosmetics e-commerce website
Background :
Naturiam is an e-commerce store specializing in natural hair care products for curly, wavy, textured, and children’s hair. Based in Morocco, the brand sells its products through Shopify to both French-speaking and English-speaking customers.
Despite offering high-quality products, the website relied mainly on branded searches and generated limited organic traffic from high-potential generic search queries.
The Challenge :
At the beginning of our collaboration, Naturiam was facing several SEO challenges:
- Heavy reliance on branded search traffic
- Limited visibility for generic and local search queries
- An SEO architecture that was not optimized to support growth
- Weak rankings for strategic keywords in the hair care industry
Starting Metrics :
- 4,908 organic clicks
- 235,000 Google Search impressions
- Average position: 22.4
Limited visibility for local searches such as “keyword + Morocco”
The Strategy :
Our strategy was built around 5 major pillars:
1. SEO Restructuring
- Organization of the website through a silo-based architecture
- Optimization of internal linking
- Consolidation of competing pages
2. Content Optimization
- Strategic keyword research
- Optimization of category pages and product pages
- Optimization of Title tags, Meta descriptions, and Hn structure
- Semantic content enrichment
3. Local SEO
- Creation of content targeting “keyword + Morocco” searches
- Optimization of high-purchase-intent pages
- Positioning on the most competitive local search queries
4. International SEO
- Implementation of hreflang tags
- Website optimization in both French and English
- Improved geographic targeting through Shopify Markets
5. Technical SEO Optimization
- Improvement of the SEO structure
- Indexation optimization
- Implementation of optimization strategies for AI search engines (LLMs)
