Record-Breaking SEO Growth in
Just 3 Months

The Background

Plumbworld, a leading UK-based retailer specializing in bathroom and plumbing supplies, partnered with us to strengthen their organic visibility and increase sales for key product categories. Despite offering a vast range of high-quality shower enclosures, trays, and wet room solutions, they faced stiff competition in search from large household names such as Wixes and ScrewFix, which limited their visibility to high-intent buyers.

With a highly competitive market, it was crucial to establish Plumbworld as the go-to destination for bathroom solutions—ensuring their pages appeared at the top when users were actively searching for products.

Keyword Strategy: Capturing High-Intent Searches

To maximise impact, we focused on high-volume, high-conversion keywords that aligned directly with Plumbworld’s product range. These weren’t just random terms—they were keywords actively searched by users ready to buy.
