The Brief

The state of play when they walked in.

Forge Hardware supplies the hardware a build is finished with: door handles, cabinet pulls, locks, hinges and entry sets. The buyers split three ways, the renovator choosing a finish, the builder buying by the door count, and the architect specifying a whole project’s worth.

The engagement runs catalogue SEO for a store with hundreds of products: category pages that rank for the fitting, product pages that rank for the finish, and the brand held at the top.

The audience shows the work: 53,035 shoppers in a year, 30,531 of them arriving through organic search, more than every other channel combined brings in.

The Outcome

What the account shows.

A catalogue that ranks by the fitting, and an audience that arrives already choosing.

The organic majority 30.5K Shoppers a year from organic search, more than every other channel combined. A hardware buyer searches the fitting, the finish or the brand. The catalogue pages meet all three searches.

The conversion engine 6.1K Organic shopping actions a year, 28% of the store's total. Renovators arrive mid-project with a door count in hand. The distance from search result to cart is two clicks.

The brand loop 18.7K Direct shoppers a year, who convert hardest of all. Direct traffic carries 14.2K shopping actions, and today's organic shopper is tomorrow's direct one: they come back by name for the next room.

The compounding effect Every ranked category page works every day, and every finished project sends the builder back for the next one. The organic channel feeds the direct channel, and both land on the same catalogue.

The Quiet Numbers

What it's actually worth.

Store economics against the shopper volume.

The organic year $100K+ From organic shoppers alone, at category conversion and order values. 30.5K shoppers at hardware-retail rates and a mid-band order. The channel carries six figures on no media spend.

The project cart By the dozen How hardware actually sells: a renovation orders handles per room, not per piece. One specified project fills a cart with every door and drawer in the house, and the builder reorders the same finish on the next job.

The whole store $170K+ A year across all channels, at the same category rates. 53K shoppers, with the organic majority feeding the direct core that converts hardest.

The number Six figures of hardware demand a year, on a channel that bills nothing per click. The catalogue keeps ranking, the projects keep finishing, and the builders keep coming back.
