Background & Challenges
The website catered to a competitive 'Tech Gadgets' niche, dominated by large e-commerce stores and review sites. At the start:
- Organic traffic was nearly flat, with just 10-20 visits per month.

Despite the challenging landscape, the site's potential was evident, given the popularity of its product category.
SEO Audit 🔍
JuxtDigital.com conducted an in-depth SEO audit to identify the site's key weaknesses:

- On-Page SEO: Duplicate meta descriptions and title tags. No structured data for product reviews.
- Backlink Profile: Very few referring domains, and existing links were of low quality.
Keyword Research & Strategy 🎯
The JuxtDigital team performed detailed keyword research to identify:
