THE JOURNEY

Challenge → Solution → Results

A strategic partnership built on understanding, innovation, and measurable outcomes.
CHALLENGE

SEO challenges limit online visibility

Piragis Northwoods Company wanted to grow beyond its traditional catalog business with eCommerce, but its new website struggled to reach page one in search results despite significant SEO efforts.

  • Duplicate pages: The eCommerce transition created duplicate content that hurt search rankings
  • Product content challenges: Thousands of SKUs needed unique descriptions beyond the print catalog
  • Weak digital visibility: Misused keywords and no social media presence limited organic traffic
SOLUTION

SEO services improve visibility and conversions

Since Piragis was already using Celerant for POS and eCommerce, they expanded with SEO services. After a website audit, Celerant reorganized content, consolidated duplicate pages and optimized the site.

  • Metadata cleanup: Duplicate content was removed and webpage code optimized for better search visibility
  • Page optimization: Product and webpage content was rewritten to be unique from the print catalog
  • Social content: New social and YouTube content helped drive more qualified traffic to the website
RESULTS

Double the traffic and 4x online conversions

With Celerant’s SEO team, Piragis Northwoods Company doubled website traffic and quadrupled online conversions in about nine months.

Celerant’s specialists also implemented SEO updates directly, saving the Piragis team time and making improvements faster and easier to execute.

Ongoing SEO and social media efforts have increased online visibility and freed the team to focus more on customers and order fulfillment.

There are plenty of SEO companies out there but you can spend a lot of money just getting them up to speed on your business model and systems. With Celerant, we hit the ground running, since it was very easy for their team to see exactly what I was doing.
