Success story

Smith3D knew 3D printing inside out. Google didn't.

Smith3D had the expertise and the products, but searchers rarely found them. Here's what we changed over six months, and what happened next.

Chapter 1 of 4: Before

Great products, hard to find

Smith3D runs a WooCommerce store with a strong product range, backed by a team that really knows 3D printing. But that knowledge wasn't showing up online, and their search visibility didn't match their place in the market.

What was holding them back

  1. The product catalogue wasn't set up for search.
  2. Their expertise didn't come through on the page.
  3. Complex product details were hard to scan.
  4. Their visibility online didn't match their standing in the market.

Chapter 2 of 4: What we did

Three pieces of work, done together

Each one on its own helps a little. Together, they gave search engines and shoppers the same clear picture of what Smith3D offers.

  1. Fix the foundations

    So search engines can find and understand every product.

    • A clearer site structure for discovering products
    • Better links between related pages
    • A stronger technical base
  2. Show the expertise

    So the pages answer what buyers are actually asking.

    • A consistent layout for product information
    • Educational guides
    • Fuller category pages
  3. Make it easy to browse

    So visitors who arrive can find what they came for.

    • Simpler navigation
    • Products that are easier to find
    • Smoother paths from browsing to buying

Chapter 3 of 4: After

The line that stopped being flat

This is Smith3D's Google Search Console data. Before we started, performance was flat (orange). After the changes went in, traffic and visibility climbed steadily (green).

Google Search Console graph: a flat orange trend line before the work, then a rising green trend line after it.

Sound like you?

You might be where Smith3D was if…

  • You know your products better than the competitors who outrank you.
  • Customers ask questions your website could already be answering.
  • Your range is big, but hard to browse online.
