How SEO Built a High-Intent Overseas Audience for an Indian Ethnic Wear Brand

Overview

The client is an Indian D2C ethnic wear brand with a dedicated international store for shoppers in the US, Canada, the UK, the UAE and Australia. Overseas buyers search very differently from domestic ones, so the goal was to build an organic presence that speaks to them, with content and pages made for their occasions, fabrics and styling needs.

The Challenge

Most overseas traffic was coming from paid social and paid search, which are quick to start but stop when the budget stops. The brand needed a steady organic channel that brings in shoppers who are already searching for ethnic wear, without mixing its overseas strategy with the Indian store.

Key Strategies Implemented

Results

Organic search became the highest-quality channel on the site. Shoppers who arrive from Google stay longer, engage more and take more actions than visitors from any other source.
