01 · Problem

Why organic search was not selling hampers

Hamper Story was leaning almost entirely on paid ads to drive sales. Organic search barely contributed: there was no SEO plan, rankings were weak for buying searches like hampers and gift delivery in Singapore, and the product pages that did get traffic weren't built to convert it.

  • Low organic traffic

    Minimal search visibility for a store with real demand.

  • No structured SEO strategy

    No plan in place to grow organic search as a channel.

  • Over-reliance on paid ads

    Revenue depended almost entirely on paid advertising.

  • Poor keyword rankings

    Weak positions for hamper-related searches in Singapore.

  • Underperforming product pages

    Low CTR and weak conversion on the pages that mattered most.

02 · Approach

The Shopify SEO campaign, step by step

I ran a full-funnel SEO campaign built for a Singapore Shopify store, combining keyword research, technical SEO, on-page optimization, content and link building, then reviewed Google Search Console every week to decide the next change.

  1. Keyword Research

    Mapped high-intent hamper and gifting searches across Singapore, prioritizing terms with clear buying intent and realistic ranking potential.

  2. On-Page & Shopify SEO

    Optimized every product and collection page: title tags, meta descriptions, internal links, Product schema and conversion-focused copy to lift both rankings and click-through rate.

  3. Technical & Content

    Fixed site speed, crawlability and schema markup. Published seasonal gifting guides and hamper-focused blog posts to reach shoppers earlier in their search.

  4. Authority & Iteration

    Built links from Singapore-focused directories and gift blogs, then iterated weekly on Search Console data to compound rankings and revenue.

03 · Outcome

Results: traffic, sales and orders

In 16 months the store went from near-invisible in organic search to a serious revenue channel: 9.79K organic clicks, 379K impressions, 19,139 monthly sessions (+92%), $72,412 in monthly Shopify sales (+206%), and 319 orders in 30 days (+294%).
