Analysis

When I first took on the “Clothing Comrades” as a client, I noticed that a lot of their traffic was low quality and didn’t provide any value. I refined this traffic by optimizing the product pages to bring in more qualified users who actually have intent to purchase.

After I rolled out the product page changes and created blog posts that were relevant, we saw a sharp dip in traffic. The client came to me questioning the changes, but after a couple weeks of, we started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel – the conversion rate started to creep up.
