profi-tools.com
482% more traffic in 12 months.

profi-tools.com sells STIHL forestry and garden equipment and already had rankings and a stable traffic base when we came on board. But the shop was not fully optimized and stayed far below its market potential. In 12 months, we closed that gap: SEO traffic grew by 482%, to around 1,500 visits per month via Google Search.

02 - Situation & measures

From challenge to strategy.

Challenge

When we started, profi-tools.com had a good foundation but a lot of untapped potential.

  1. Good foundation, lots of potential

    profi-tools.com already had organic rankings and a stable traffic base when we came on board. The shop was not fully optimized, though.

  2. Product and category pages

    Product and category pages and their metadata still offered a lot of room for improvement and were not consistently aligned with the search terms buyers use.

  3. Crawling and internal linking

    There were also gaps in crawling and internal linking. Together, they kept the shop from climbing higher for important search terms.

  4. Competitors ahead

    profi-tools.com stayed well below its actual market potential. Better-optimized competitors captured the visitors with purchase intent who should have landed in this shop.

Measures · Checklist
5 / 5 implemented

Our 12-month SEO program included the following core elements:

  • Optimization of product and category pages
    We aligned the product and category pages with the search terms customers use to look for forestry and garden equipment.
  • Technical SEO and internal linking
    We fixed crawling problems and reworked the internal linking so that Google finds all important pages and weights them correctly.
  • New metadata
    We rebuilt the titles and descriptions of the pages so that the search results clearly show what the shop offers.
  • Keyword and content program
    With new content, we expanded coverage in the forestry and garden equipment niche step by step.
  • High-quality link building
    Strong, high-quality backlinks from German DIY and outdoor publications strengthened the domain's authority.
