Starting point
When the work started, the site drew about 1K organic visits a month and ranked for about 2.1K keywords.
My role
I led the SEO program at GemFind across a portfolio of 97 jewelry retailer sites, setting the strategy, building the playbook and running the team that delivered it. Products and inventory stayed with the retailer; our work was everything that gets a store found.
The result
Estimated organic traffic grew from about 1K to 51.6K visits a month over my time on the account.

What we did
- 01
Local landing pages
Pages built around local and “near me” searches for the store’s city and service area.
- 02
Buying-intent collections
Collection pages targeting what shoppers search before they buy, like engagement rings, lab-grown diamonds and designer brands.
- 03
Blog content
Editorial content for the questions jewelry buyers ask, pulling in traffic that product pages can’t.
- 04
On-page & technical SEO
Titles, headings, internal linking, site speed, crawl fixes and schema.
