The challenge
At first glance, performance looked strong.
But deeper analysis revealed a different story:
Growth was happening… but not fully maximized. Here’s what we uncovered:
- Heavy reliance on brand keywords (60%) → Strong CTR, but limited scalability
- Only 2 keywords in positions 4–10 → Very little “mid-ranking opportunity pool
- High CTR on top positions, but low keyword diversity → Risk of plateauing growth
- Traffic spike concentrated in a short period (Feb–May) → Needed consistency and scalability
- Technical SEO gaps: mobile usability and page speed affecting rankings
