Zero traction. High-authority competition.

United Ortho was a fresh build with no SEO architecture, zero organic traction and a competitive set of established medical e-commerce and B2B brands. The category required both authority and content depth from day one.

  1. 01Foundation

    No SEO structure

    The site was a fresh build — no taxonomy, no schema, no internal-linking model, no XML sitemap. Every search-foundational layer had to be designed before any keyword work could compound.

  2. 02Visibility

    Zero organic traction

    Just 6 ranking keywords across the entire site, with no traffic-driving categories. Every revenue stream was paid-dependent, with rising CAC.

    Baseline: Jan 2022
  3. 03Competition

    High-authority rivals

    Orthopedic e-commerce SERPs are dominated by hospital systems, large medical retailers and trusted B2B distributors — outranking required E-E-A-T signals from day one.

    Competitive set

8 build pillars. One organic engine.
