The decisions, fixes, and execution behind the result.

Who Was the Client?

A wholesale beauty platform selling products to salons, retailers, and professional buyers.

What Was the Challenge?

The platform had product inventory, but category pages did not capture how wholesale buyers search. Product pages were too isolated, and the site lacked supporting content for professional buying decisions.

What Was the Strategy?

We mapped wholesale beauty keywords by category, product type, brand, buyer type, and purchase intent. Collection pages were expanded, metadata was cleaned up, and internal links connected products to category hubs.

What Were the Results?

  • Wholesale category keyword map created
  • Product and collection metadata improved
  • B2B buyer intent reflected in page structure
  • Internal links strengthened category authority

Impact Metrics

  • 142% increase in B2B organic revenue
  • 88% growth in category-page clicks
  • 34 wholesale beauty keywords reached page one
  • 26% lift in organic account signups

Why Did This Work?

Wholesale ecommerce SEO has to speak to buyers placing larger, more practical orders. The structure worked because it organized products around professional buying needs.

We thought the issue was just traffic. HGM showed us that our product pages were not explaining the offer clearly enough. The changes were practical, the reporting was easy to follow, and the enquiries we got afterwards were a better fit.
