Case Study — Selling Sunglasses With Woocommerce And Seopress

Case studies work best when they are specific. This one is — down to the templates, the schema fixes, and the numbers on both sides of the change.

The Problem

A common WordPress SEO problem: strong content, thin distribution, and a technical layer that quietly leaked authority. The audit surfaced the exact silos where the leak was worst.

The Fixes

The team ran the Detect → Explain → Fix → Approve → Apply loop with change budgets set conservatively. Nothing that shipped was more aggressive than the WordPress core would tolerate.

• Canonical repair on paginated archives.
• JSON-LD Article authors filled in for E-E-A-T.
• Silo-aware internal linking on the two highest-value clusters.

The Result

Ninety days out, impressions and clicks moved together on the target silos, with no measurable regression on non-target templates. The report is the boring kind of win — and that is the point.

• Verify with Bot Tracker that GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot have re-crawled the fixed URLs.
• Promote the workflow to production and schedule the weekly per-silo run.
• Publish a short teardown so your team can replicate the win on the next silo.
