- organic search
In January 2019, Ramsdens Jewellery asked our organic search team to help transform their organic revenue. They were looking to increase their YoY organic revenue by 65% in just 12 months.
Our client had a strong brand, but their site was being held back by various tech issues, including duplicate content, low website authority, and a lack of optimised content across their key category pages.
Ramsdens Jewellery initially asked us to deliver 65% YoY organic revenue growth in 12 months. We surpassed this goal with ease, achieving a 177.2% improvement, along with a 69% increase in organic transactions. This was achieved alongside a 49.6% growth in organic traffic over the same period.
In this second year of this campaign, we continued to build on these results, delivering a further 54.7% YoY increase in organic traffic, along with a 156.8% improvement in organic revenue. And, as our campaign enters its third year, we’re confident that Ramsdens’ performance will only continue to grow.
To help Ramsdens Jewellery achieve their ambitious 65% target, our Technical SEO and Content teams worked together to resolve the existing technical issues and populate the site with quality content that would drive traffic to key product pages. Our Outreach experts created a strategy to boost Ramsdens’ site authority using targeted link development techniques.
When we inherited the account in February 2019, Ramsdens’ site was badly hindered by duplicate category content, which had a detrimental effect on rankings across the site.
Our technical SEO experts re-designed a new, easy-to-navigate site hierarchy, and worked closely with our client to implement it with minimum disruption to the site. This eliminated the duplication issues and paved the way for improved rankings across the board.
To drive organic traffic, our Content team created bespoke, high-quality optimised content for Ramsdens’ category product pages, using industry tools and the latest search insights to supercharge our copy.
Our client wanted to focus on big-ticket product lines, so our strategy prioritised high-volume, luxury keywords — like ‘Rolex watches’ and ‘diamond jewellery’ — to ensure our campaign was driving maximum revenue.

Our Content team also produced quality content marketing, using in-depth competitor analysis and targeted keyword research to identify the most valuable and in-demand topics. Projects included in-depth buying guides, jewellery cleaning and care resources, and even a printable ring sizing tool.
When we started work on Ramsdens’ site, we found that the brand’s existing backlink profile was dominated by no-follow links that were passing very little, if any, SEO value to the site.
To improve the client’s backlink profile, our Outreach team focused on building links on quality sites using creative, ethical link-building tactics. We worked with sites that were highly relevant to Ramsdens’ target audience, including complementary retailers, fashion and lifestyle publications, as well as national and regional news sites.
Between early 2019 and October 2021, we secured 189 links for Ramsdens Jewellery, including features on high domain-authority sites like Hello! And OK! Magazine.
