Case Study: Magento + WordPress
Content-led commerce converting high-intent organic traffic.
A specialist UK retailer with strong organic search potential that was not being captured commercially. Content and commerce were siloed. The opportunity was in connecting them.

The Situation
High-intent search traffic. Low commercial return.
A specialist retailer in a niche with genuine search intent. Customers arriving through organic search with clear purchase intent, but not converting at anything close to commercial potential.
The core problem was structural. Content and commerce were separate. The Magento store was doing its job as a catalogue and checkout, but there was no mechanism to capture top-of-funnel organic traffic, educate it, and move it towards purchase.
The right answer was not a more aggressive SEO campaign pointing at existing category pages. It was building the infrastructure to convert the traffic that was already arriving.
The Approach
Integrating Magento and WordPress into a single content-led experience.
Content and commerce integration
Built a deep integration between Magento and WordPress, allowing content to live within the commerce experience rather than alongside it. Editorial control through WordPress, commercial capability through Magento.
High-intent content architecture
Designed a content structure specifically for high-intent search queries. Buying guides, product comparisons, and installation advice: content that serves customers who already know broadly what they want.
Commerce-connected content
Built functionality to embed products, categories, and basket actions directly within content. Removing the gap between reading and buying for customers arriving from organic search ready to purchase.
The Principle
The traffic was already there. The job was to convert it.
Most ecommerce businesses underestimate the commercial value sitting in their organic search traffic. The work here was building the infrastructure to capture existing intent and route it through to purchase, not generating more of it.
255% increase in organic revenue. Not from more traffic. From converting the traffic that was already arriving.
