Case Studies

ICED LONDON

Iced London, a UK jewellery brand specialising in fine chains, pendants, and iced-out accessories, partnered with Searchflex to accelerate organic growth on their Shopify store. Despite strong brand momentum and a loyal customer base, the site was being held back by structural SEO issues, weak collection architecture, and an underperforming content strategy. Within six months, Searchflex delivered fast, measurable impact across AI search, keyword rankings, organic traffic, and Google-attributed revenue.

The Challenge:

Iced London had built a strong brand reputation in a competitive niche, with moissanite chains and iced-out jewellery at the core of their catalogue. However, their Shopify SEO performance was not reflecting that brand strength. Organic visibility was fragmented, collection pages lacked the structure needed to compete for high-intent search terms, and the site contained broken JavaScript that was silently suppressing crawlability and user experience.

Navigation flow was poorly optimised, making it difficult for both search engines and shoppers to move efficiently through the catalogue. There were no sub-collections to capture granular, product-specific search intent, and the site’s metadata and on-page signals were inconsistent across key commercial pages.

Our Approach:

Searchflex conducted a full technical SEO audit for Iced London, identifying critical issues and executing a phased strategy across site structure, crawlability, content, and on-page optimisation.

We restructured navigation and collection architecture to better target high-intent jewellery searches, introduced new sub-collections to capture long-tail demand, and overhauled metadata and alt text across the site to improve visibility, relevance, and click-through rates.

Alongside resolving broken JavaScript impacting indexation, we also launched a content strategy focused on moissanite and iced-out jewellery keywords, strengthening topical authority and driving qualified organic traffic across core commercial categories.

PHASE 01
Technical SEO Audit & Analysis — Weeks 1–2

Conducted a detailed review of Iced London's technical SEO setup, identifying key issues affecting crawlability, indexing, site structure, and organic performance.

PHASE 02
Technical SEO Improvements — Weeks 3–6

Addressed the key technical issues identified during the audit, improving site structure, crawlability, indexing, and the overall technical foundation.

PHASE 03
On-Page & Performance Optimisation — Weeks 5–8

Optimised key pages and improved site performance, with a focus on page experience, internal linking, metadata, and stronger organic visibility.

PHASE 04
Content & Organic Growth — Weeks 7–12

Strengthened category and commercial content to target relevant search terms, improve keyword visibility, and support sustainable organic growth.

Final Results:

Within six months, Iced London recorded meaningful, sustained growth across every core organic metric.

Organic keyword rankings grew by over 40%, with first positions secured for high-value non-branded terms including ‘moissanite chains’, which saw clicks increase eightfold week-on-week. Organic traffic rose significantly, and Google Search Console data showed non-branded clicks up more than 50% compared to the previous period, reflecting genuine gains in competitive visibility rather than brand-dependent traffic.

The impact on revenue was equally clear. In Shopify, Google-attributed organic revenue more than doubled over the six-month period, with Instagram-attributed revenue growing by over 75%. Organic traffic value, as reported in Ahrefs, increased by over 170% from baseline, reflecting the commercial weight of the new rankings secured.

The introduction of new sub-collections and the restructured navigation also produced compound benefits, with the site now properly positioned to capture granular product demand across pendant, chain, and memorial jewellery categories.

Iced London now has a scalable organic foundation built on technical integrity, content depth, and a collection architecture that matches how their customers actually search. Searchflex continues to build on these results as the engagement progresses.

Common questions about this project

What were the main SEO issues holding Iced London back?

Iced London’s Shopify store had several structural issues limiting organic visibility. Collection pages lacked the architecture needed to target high-intent searches, navigation was not optimised for efficient crawling and discovery, and broken JavaScript was affecting crawlability and user experience. Metadata and alt text were also inconsistent, while the site had no established content programme to build topical authority around its core jewellery categories.

What did Searchflex change on the Iced London Shopify store?

Searchflex restructured the site’s navigation and collection architecture, introduced new sub-collections to capture more specific search demand, and improved metadata and alt text across key pages. The team also addressed broken JavaScript affecting indexation and launched a content strategy focused on moissanite and iced-out jewellery searches.

Which areas of organic performance improved?

The campaign delivered growth across keyword visibility, organic traffic and Google-attributed revenue. Organic keywords increased by 43%, organic traffic increased by 57%, and Google organic revenue increased by 110% over the six-month period.

What made the new collection structure important for Iced London?

The new collection and sub-collection structure allowed Iced London to target more specific product searches instead of relying on broad category pages. This created a stronger foundation for capturing demand across its core jewellery ranges, including chains, pendants and other iced-out products.

How did the SEO work contribute to revenue growth?

The improvements increased the amount of relevant organic traffic reaching Iced London’s commercial pages, while stronger rankings and visibility helped capture existing search demand. Over the six-month period, Google-attributed organic revenue more than doubled, increasing by 110%.
