Challenges

Despite offering unique resort wear and designer fashion for women, Erica Wilson faced several barriers to digital growth. The brand was up against dominant fashion retailers with strong backlink profiles, higher domain authority, and well-established SEO foundations. EricaWilson.com struggled with limited online visibility, poor domain authority, and minimal brand awareness within search engines. In addition, the site was plagued by slow load speeds, broken links, and unoptimized product content, which negatively affected user experience and rankings.

Solution

Blackbelt Commerce implemented a comprehensive SEO program that combined keyword strategy, technical improvements, and content marketing to increase search visibility and drive targeted traffic. The campaign began with deep keyword research focused on niche, long-tail, and high-converting queries specific to the resort wear market. Technical SEO was a priority, including increasing site speed, mobile responsiveness, and resolving crawl errors. On-page optimization efforts focused on rewriting meta titles, headers, and product descriptions to reflect the search behavior of Erica Wilson’s ideal customer. A structured internal linking strategy was also put in place to help Google better crawl the site. In parallel, we rolled out a white-hat link-building campaign targeting fashion bloggers, online magazines, and stylists who aligned with Erica Wilson’s target audience. We also created a content calendar focused on fashion trends, product styling tips, and seasonal buying guides—all designed to rank for informational and transactional keywords alike.
