01 / The context
A specific challenge.
A focused direction.
An organic growth program for a specialist French business serving Citroën 2CV and Méhari enthusiasts, restorers and parts buyers.
Challenge: The opportunity depended on reaching a wide mix of technical, informational and commercial searches while improving crawl quality and reducing dependence on brand-led demand.
02 / The approach
From investigation
to clear priorities.
I audited crawl errors, redirects, broken links, keyword distribution, intent coverage, competitor gaps, search snippets, backlink signals and the balance between branded and non-branded discovery.
Strategy: The program combined technical prioritization with intent-based keyword clusters, richer on-page content, stronger internal paths and focused off-page opportunities for the French market.
Work completed
- Technical crawl and redirect review
- Keyword research and intent clustering
- Competitor content-gap analysis
- Metadata and SERP-snippet optimization
- Internal-link recommendations
