Its website had the potential to support both ecommerce discovery and visits to the physical store. Before that could happen, the damage from a poorly executed migration needed to be repaired.
The migration left valuable content disconnected from customers and search engines.
Broken URLs disrupted rankings, navigation, and user experience. The site needed careful recovery before broader SEO growth could become sustainable.
- Legacy URLs no longer reached the correct content
- Pages needed to be recovered, recreated, or redirected
- High-priority pages lacked consistent on-page optimization
- Internal links needed a clearer, more useful structure
- The site required ongoing crawls to prevent new issues
Recover lost search value while building a better path to future growth.
The team could not treat the migration as an isolated technical cleanup. The recovery also needed to reconnect content, improve important pages, support local and product discovery, and create a stronger long-term gardening resource.
Broken URLs interrupted the customer journey
Visitors and search engines were encountering dead ends where valuable pages and content should have been available.
Priority pages needed clearer search alignment
Metadata, headings, keywords, and internal links needed to communicate page purpose more consistently.
The brand needed broader topical authority
Useful gardening content and credible external references were essential for attracting new audiences beyond existing customers.
Reconnect the old site, improve the new one, and guide visitors toward the next useful step.
Cadence SEO evaluated each broken or displaced URL to determine whether its content should be recreated, republished, consolidated, or redirected. That preserved value while creating a cleaner destination structure.
Once the technical paths were restored, page optimization and internal linking connected educational resources, important products, services, seasonal topics, and local store information.
