Proviz Sport
Cycling Up The Ranks

Proviz Sport are an international provider of reflective clothing for cycling, running and other outdoor activities, operating primarily in the UK, Germany, the US and Australia.As an existing client at Open Partners, Proviz had recently completed a site migration to Shopify and were struggling to establish top organic rankings. Our goal was to increase organic search visibility, traffic and conversions in the UK across the cycling category, with a particular focus on cycling jackets which are one of the client's best selling products.

Our approach:

Having worked with Proviz historically, the site was in good shape and our SEO Audits revealed only a few minor technical issues which were quickly resolved. However, our in-depth keyword research revealed that the Proviz website ranked well for generic keywords within the UK, but highlighted a lack of rankings for gender-specific searches, such as ‘men’s cycling jackets’ or ‘women’s cycling jackets’.

With that in mind, we identified gender based search as a large area of opportunity and suggested creating new landing pages dedicated to and optimised for gender specific searches. After successfully testing our strategy on a few selected product categories, we worked with Proviz to create the new landing pages and necessary content to roll out new gender specific pages across the site. We then restructured the site’s main navigation to integrate these new pages and successfully completed the transition to a site optimised for gender based search.

Channels:

Organic Search – SEO

The outcome:

As a result of our gender specific landing page project, the site’s top 3 and page one rankings more than doubled and Proviz soared to the top of the rankings for men’s and women’s related keywords, including reaching the number 1 position for ‘cycling jackets’.

The rise in rankings and visibility has driven significant growth, including a 42% increase in organic traffic, a 46% increase in organic conversions and an improvement in conversion rate across the site and other marketing channels.

“The team at Open Partners seamlessly integrated into our wider team and was instrumental in driving the change in performance. Having completed audits and keyword research, we as a team set out to completely adjust the way Proviz had performed organically for many years and stop the potential loss of revenue caused by not ranking for key gendered keywords, or ranking with the incorrect pages.The project in total, took around 3 months, including testing. Though the testing wasn’t all too strict, we immediately saw positive results, which gave us confidence to move ahead with the full re-structure of the site.Not only have we improved our rankings significantly, but this change has also brought about an overall increase in conversion rate, including that of other digital marketing channels. I couldn’t have asked for more! The numbers truly speak for themselves!”
