HBDepot.ca website — SEO case study

Case Overview

The Challenge & The Outcome

Client

HBDepot.ca — online store specializing in bathroom vanities, faucets, toilets, and home improvement products.

Goal

Increase organic traffic, improve search rankings, and boost conversions.

Scope

A six-month ecommerce SEO engagement — technical SEO, content, on-page work and authority building across the catalog.

Initial State

Where HBDepot.ca Started

At the start of the engagement, the website faced the typical issues holding back most ecommerce sites — but more severe than average.

  • Low search visibility — the site was not ranking for any of its key commercial queries.
  • Thin, unoptimized content on category and product pages.
  • Technical errors affecting indexing, plus slow page speed.
  • Weak backlink profile and low domain authority.

Our Approach

The Strategy

We executed a four-pillar ecommerce SEO program for fast, durable growth:

1 — Technical SEO

Fixed indexation and duplicate-content issues, improved Core Web Vitals on mobile, and standardized heading structure and metadata across the catalog.

2 — Commercial Content

Rebuilt category and product copy around high-intent commercial keywords and added expert buying guides mapped to real search demand.

3 — Authority Growth

Earned links from authoritative home-improvement sites and restructured internal linking to push authority to the pages that drive revenue.

4 — Trust Signals

Optimized the Google Business Profile, built consistent Canadian listings, and grew verified reviews to reinforce trust and authority.
