Higher Tolerance
United States • 6-month growth program
Category-page SEO and GEO that turned organic into the top revenue channel
An ecommerce brand in a restricted advertising category where paid channels were unreliable and expensive. We rebuilt collection-level SEO, fixed crawl and duplication issues at scale, and positioned the brand as a cited source in AI product research.
6-month performance
Organic users grew from 2,100 to 8,790 per month, with leads rising from 38 to 186.

Where they started
- Faceted navigation created thousands of near-duplicate URLs and diluted crawl budget.
- Collection pages had no unique copy, so they never ranked for category-level demand.
- Paid advertising restrictions in the category made organic the only scalable channel.
- Product research increasingly happened inside AI assistants where the brand was invisible.
What we did
1. Crawl and indexation control
Canonicalized faceted URLs, pruned thin variants, rebuilt the XML sitemap, and cut average crawl depth so priority collections were discovered and refreshed quickly.
2. Collection page rebuild
Gave every priority collection a unique intro, buying guide, comparison table, and FAQ block so it could compete for category head terms instead of only product long tail.
3. Product schema and feeds
Implemented Product, Offer, and AggregateRating schema across the catalog and cleaned attribute data so rich results and AI answers had accurate specs and availability.
4. Comparison and buying-guide content
Published comparison and how-to-choose content that AI engines quote when users ask which product is best, with clear extractable recommendations.
5. Conversion and page speed
Cut largest contentful paint on mobile collections, simplified variant selection, and added trust and shipping clarity above the fold.
