Summary (TL;DR): What Have We Achieved?

• Volume Growth: We increased our monthly organic traffic from 170,000 to an average of 380,000 through strategic adjustments .
• User Experience (UX) Overhaul: We completely revamped the cumbersome and clunky website structure with a sales-focused, modern design.
• Market Leadership: We transformed a brand lagging behind competitors into a leader in the industry for critical kitchenware and small appliance searches.
• Sales-Focused Results: We combined increased organic traffic with an optimized user journey, directly translating this into online sales figures.

Customer Profile and the Problem (The Challenge)

Who is the Customer? Korkmaz is one of Turkey’s most established and prestigious brands when it comes to glassware, kitchenware, and small household appliances. Combining its motto “Shop without fear” with quality, the company has been among those with the highest customer loyalty for years.

What was the problem? The brand’s strength and the trust it had built in the physical world had begun to lose ground on digital platforms:

• Negative Traffic Trend: When we started the study, Korkmaz had around 170,000 organic monthly traffic; however, more critically, this traffic was steadily declining day by day.
• Sales Loss: This erosion in organic visibility directly impacted e-commerce performance, initiating a period of significant decline in online sales volume.
• Falling Behind the Competition: While competitors were increasing their market share with aggressive strategies in the digital market, Korkmaz’s existing structure was losing ground in this struggle.

Objectives: Our client’s primary expectation was to urgently reverse this downward trend.

1. Traffic Momentum: Revitalizing organic traffic and enabling your brand to reach its true potential.
2. Business Growth: Boosting sales figures by combining increased traffic with a high-quality user experience.
3. Competitive Advantage: To regain lost authority over competitors in the digital world and achieve a leading position in industry searches.

Analysis and Strategy (The Solution)

Audit Process: Analysis of Existing Power and Identification of Losses When we started the Korkmaz project, we had an organization with high authority but that had lost its potential. Through our analysis of Semrush and Search Console data, we identified the following critical points:

• Authority and Position Conflict: Although the site had a strong Authority Score, its rankings were declining day by day in critical product categories dominated by competitors (cookware sets, small appliances, etc.).
• Traffic Loss: The decline in traffic from the 170,000 level signaled that the existing content and technical infrastructure were becoming outdated.
• Competitive Analysis: We found that competitors are using next-generation SEO techniques more effectively and are attracting traffic through “generic keywords” that Korkmaz gained through “brand power”.

Roadmap: Holistic SEO and Scope Expansion Because the glassware industry is a massive ecosystem encompassing thousands of subcategories, we adopted a holistic SEO strategy instead of fragmented solutions.

• Technical SEO Revision: We’ve laid a technical foundation to improve the site’s crawl efficiency and transfer its authority to all subpages.
• Holistic Content Strategy: We created a comprehensive content roadmap that addresses not just product names, but all stages of the user’s buying journey (research, comparison, purchase).
• Category Authority: We aimed to establish “Topic Cluster” structures that showcase separate expertise in each branch of glassware (Kitchenware, Tableware, Small Household Appliances).

Execution Process

The answer to the question “How did we do it?” is: The Power of Pure SEO and Design.

User Experience and Technical Transformation: We transformed Korkmaz’s digital store from just a catalog into a living, conversion-focused e-commerce platform.

• Design Revolution: We’ve transitioned to a new, intuitive, and user-friendly interface that prevents users from getting lost among thousands of products. We’ve minimized friction throughout the purchasing journey.
• Technical Optimization: We improved the website’s hierarchy and technical infrastructure from top to bottom, enabling Google bots to crawl the site more efficiently.

Holistic Content and Competitor-Focused Strategy : We managed the glassware industry’s massive keyword pool by targeting competitors’ weaknesses.

• Comprehensive Keyword Targeting: We’ve built a holistic content network encompassing thousands of long-tail and generic keywords, ranging from kitchenware to small appliances.
• Competitive Analysis-Supported Content: By identifying areas where competitors were driving traffic but lacking in content quality, we dominated those areas with Korkmaz’s authority.

100% Organic Growth (Growth Without Backlinks) The most distinctive aspect of this project is that no backlink building has been done. * Without external link support; we achieved organic momentum through complete technical perfection, correct content structure, and excellent user experience.

• This approach has been the greatest proof of how correctly we combined Korkmaz’s own brand authority with SEO dynamics.
