As a marketing manager, you're probably used to regularly reporting departmental performance to management. The ongoing progress and how your department contributes to the overall strategy. But what do you do if you suddenly realize that your competitors have started to move up and steal traffic and visitors from search results?

When the competition arrives

At the start of 2021, Lomax found itself in exactly that situation. Lomax is the market leader in office supplies and their competitor had scaled up their SEO efforts. The competitor had overtaken Lomax and had begun to steal important organic traffic on key search terms.

In a highly competitive market, in both organic and paid traffic, Lomax stood to lose visibility, future earnings and crucial market share. A situation that was undesirable in a high growth market due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the many new home-based workplaces that all needed office supplies.

01
Goal setting

The goal for Lomax was to regain lost keyword positions and then improve positions on 80 keywords to solidify their role as market leader.

02
Process

The process started with a thorough benchmark and performance analysis on the keywords that were important for the category and core business. The top 80 keywords were then selected based on the criteria of traffic, revenue and efficiency for Lomax to be visible on.

03
Results

Through a targeted SEO strategy, Lomax has managed to hold their positions and catch up with their competitors. For Lomax, this means that they are able to consolidate their position as market leaders and have a strong foundation for future growth.

The process - a focus on the core business

In collaboration with Lomax, InboundCPH created a new SEO strategy. The goal was to first regain the lost keyword positions and then improve positions on 80 keywords that defined the category. If successful, Lomax could cement their role as market leader.

The strategy was created based on a thorough benchmark and performance analysis on keywords that were important to the category and core business. In total, 80 keywords were selected based on how much traffic they generated, how much revenue they generated and how effective they were at acquiring new customers. The strategy had to be supported by both content and proactive outreach in the form of new links.

The result

The project ran for 8 months with regular status meetings where the efforts were evaluated. The benchmark and performance analysis showed that there was an estimated traffic of 1,500,000 monthly searches on the selected keywords. Due to the rise of the competitor, Lomax had an average ranking of 46th in organic searches. This corresponds to a place on page 7 of the search results. A place where most people don't go. Now, 8 months later, Lomax is at an average position of 7.8 - in the middle of the first page. A sixfold increase in visibility on the category-defining keywords.

Converted to estimated traffic, the change in the positions of the 80 keywords has meant an increase in organic traffic from 1,100 visitors per day to 4,000 visitors per day. A quadrupling of organic traffic corresponding to potentially over a million more visitors annually.

Together with Inbound CPH, through a targeted SEO strategy, Lomax has managed to hold the positions and outpaced the competition. For Lomax, this means that they can consolidate their position as market leaders when they are clearly present on the keywords that define the office supplies category. This position gives Lomax a strong foundation for future growth.

Next steps

Continued collaboration

The collaboration started in April 2021, and already after the first quarter there were great results on individual keywords and increased digital visibility. The partnership was therefore expanded to include additional keywords, areas and categories. Since then, the keyword portfolio has been regularly expanded and new keyword analyses have been added.

As a result of the continued collaboration, Lomax has continuously grown organically, which has reduced the dependence on paid channels. In addition, the work has meant that Lomax continues to expand market share on Google in both classic categories and new areas, such as corona-related protective gear.

Thanks to a structured, detailed and continuous SEO strategy, Lomax has managed to grow during a digital disruption and maintain critical market share in office supplies.
