    Rebuilding Organic Growth for DIYBlinds

    Context

    DIYBlinds is a well-established Australian eCommerce brand in the window furnishings space. While the brand had strong demand and visibility historically, organic performance began to decline as Google’s eCommerce search results evolved.

    A key limitation was structural: the website did not have true Product Detail Pages (PDPs) designed for modern eCommerce search behaviour. Without PDPs, the site struggled to capture long-tail commercial intent and scale visibility across product variations.

    The Challenge

    • Declining organic visibility across key categories
    • No scalable PDP framework to support eCommerce search growth
    • Increasing reliance on legacy category-level structures
    • High risk in launching large-scale structural changes without proof

    Our Strategy: Soft Launch Before Full Rollout

    Phase 1: Initial PDP Introduction

    Designed and launched a small number of PDPs for selected products, built around how modern eCommerce search works. Closely monitored organic ranking performance and Google Shopping visibility.

    Phase 2: Full Range Expansion

    With proof of success, the PDP framework was rolled out across the entire product range. Website structure was re-architected to support scale and future expansion with clean internal linking.

    The Results

    After more than 12 months of staged redesign and restructuring, DIYBlinds achieved a result many brands fail to deliver during a major site evolution.

    Before Launch

    523

    keywords in top 3

    After Launch

    1,162

    keywords in top 3

    More than 2x high-intent keyword visibility

    Crucially, rankings didn’t dip after launch. They accelerated.
