The Challenge

Despite strong brand recognition, the /evening-gowns and /mother-of-the-bride-dresses pages struggled to rank for highly competitive, non-branded keywords with massive search volume. This limited their ability to capture new customers searching for gowns outside of branded terms, leaving growth opportunities untapped.

The goal:

  • Capture competitive, non-branded keywords

  • Expand topical authority

  • Drive sustainable organic growth beyond paid ads

The Strategy

GR0 launched a link building campaign to boost authority and visibility for the two pages by:

  • Securing high-quality, contextually relevant backlinks

  • Optimizing anchor text for head terms and long-tail variations

  • Expanding keyword coverage to strengthen topical authority

  • Prioritizing placements within fashion and lifestyle content

The Results

This focused approach delivered measurable gains:

  • 181% increase in total non-branded clicks

  • +2,000 new Page 1 keyword rankings across both collections

  • 479% increase in non-branded clicks to Evening Gowns

  • 8,140% growth in Evening Gowns Page 1 keywords

  • 878% growth in Mother of the Bride Page 1 keywords

  • 85% increase in non-branded clicks to Mother of the Bride
