The challenge

A website with little visibility on Google

At the start, the website had little visibility on Google. Its average position put it on the third page of results, where almost nobody clicks.

The goal: get found by people looking for flooring or asking questions about their project, long before they search for a store name.

Website optimization

Product and collection pages that rank

We reworked the pages that sell: the ones buyers see when they search for a type of flooring.

  • Optimized collection pages, with useful copy for each type of flooring.
  • Optimized product pages: titles, descriptions and technical details.
  • Menu and site structure redesigned so buyers and Google can find every category.
  • Internal links between collections, products and the blog.

SEO strategy, copywriting and blog

A blog that reaches buyers early

We chose the topics and keywords to target, then wrote practical guides for people planning a flooring project.

  • Topic and keyword selection, with rankings and pages tracked in Google.
  • A “Tendances et astuces” blog that now has 105 articles.
  • About 4 clicks out of 5 come from people who did not type the Emard name: they discovered the brand through the website.

Backlinks and GEO

Growing authority, all the way into AI answers

For Google and AI assistants to trust a website, other websites have to talk about it, and its content has to be easy to cite.

  • Links earned from other websites to strengthen the domain’s authority.
  • Ahrefs Domain Rating up from 20 to 35 in one year.
  • Content structured to be picked up by ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.

Many buyers compare flooring on their phone. Collections, products and guides are as easy to browse there as on a desktop.
