312% organic revenue growth for a DTC apparel brand

A fast-scaling apparel label was buying its growth on paid social — and watching margins thin with every new customer. We turned organic search from an afterthought into the brand's largest and lowest-cost revenue channel in nine months.

The challenge

The brand had outgrown its Shopify setup. Thin category pages, duplicate URLs spawned by faceted navigation, and a bloated theme were throttling crawl efficiency — and the catalog's most profitable collections sat on page three of Google while paid acquisition costs climbed quarter over quarter.

  • ~38,000 near-duplicate URLs from filter and sort parameters diluting crawl budget
  • Core Web Vitals failing on mobile for every collection template
  • Top-margin collections ranking on page 3+ for their primary terms
  • Paid social driving 80%+ of revenue at a steadily rising CAC
The strategy

We sequenced the work so the foundation was solid before we poured content and authority on top of it.

01

Reclaim the crawl

We tamed faceted navigation so Google spent its crawl budget on pages that sell, not infinite filter permutations.

  • Canonical + parameter rules to collapse 38k duplicates
  • Robots and internal-link controls on low-value facets
  • Render-blocking scripts trimmed to pass Core Web Vitals
02

Rebuild the money pages

The top 40 collection pages were rewritten around real buyer intent and wrapped in shopping-grade structured data.

  • Intent-mapped copy on priority collections
  • Product + collection schema across the catalog
  • Internal linking that concentrated authority on bestsellers
03

Build the demand engine

A hub of buying-guide content captured upper-funnel search and funneled it straight to the collections.

  • Buying guides targeting non-brand discovery terms
  • Contextual links from guides into money pages
  • Refresh cadence to defend rankings as they climbed

Within nine months organic became the brand's largest revenue channel, overtaking paid social. Non-brand traffic nearly tripled, the priority collections claimed page-one positions, and a cleaner technical base meant new products started ranking within weeks instead of months.

They rebuilt our technical foundation and our organic finally compounded. Organic is now our biggest channel — and the least expensive one.
