A quick hello

01 / OPENER

Hi Mara and the Tradewell team — thank you for the time and the candor on our call. We've spent the better part of a decade making technical SEO work for marketplaces, and Tradewell is exactly the kind of catalog we get excited about: deep inventory, real buyer intent, and a category where being found first compounds into a durable moat.

Anchor SEO is a premium technical SEO practice. We don't chase keywords for their own sake — we engineer the infrastructure that lets a marketplace earn organic demand at scale: crawlability, indexation, structured data, internal linking, and content that maps to how procurement teams actually search. We work with a small number of clients at a time so the work stays senior, hands-on, and accountable.

Where Tradewell stands today

02 / SITUATION

Here's what we heard, said back to you plainly. You've built a strong two-sided marketplace for industrial components and manufacturing supply — but the organic side of the funnel is leaking the exact buyers you most want to win.

A.

A catalog Google barely sees

Of your ~140,000 SKU and category pages, our crawl found roughly 38% effectively non-indexed — orphaned by thin internal linking, faceted-URL bloat, and a sitemap that's drifted out of sync with live inventory. Buyers can't choose what search never surfaces.

B.

Demand that goes to distributors instead

High-intent terms — “bulk hydraulic fittings supplier,” “MOQ stainless fasteners” — are owned by legacy distributors and Amazon Business. You have better inventory and pricing, but you're invisible at the moment of search.

C.

No structured data, no rich results

Product, offer, and aggregate-rating schema are largely absent, so your listings render as plain blue links while competitors win pricing and availability rich results that pull the click.

How we work

03 / APPROACH

We treat SEO as infrastructure, not content marketing. The sequence matters: fix the foundation so every later gain compounds, then layer demand capture on top. Four principles guide the engagement.

01

Foundation before flywheel

We earn clean crawlability and indexation first. There's no point ranking content on a site Google can't fully read — every fix we make to your crawl budget multiplies the value of the work that follows.

02

Built for catalog scale

With 140K pages, we don't optimize page by page — we engineer templates, internal-linking logic, and schema that ship value across the entire catalog at once, then monitor at the pattern level.

03

Intent over volume

We map procurement-style search behavior — specs, MOQs, certifications, lead times — and target the terms with real buying intent, not vanity traffic that never converts.

04

Visible, defensible reporting

You get a live dashboard plus a senior monthly readout tying every movement back to indexation, rankings, organic sessions, and qualified marketplace signups — no black boxes.

Our cadence
Weekly working sessions with your eng and product leads. One senior strategist owns your account end to end — the person you meet is the person who does the work.

Scope & deliverables

04 / SCOPE

Everything below is included across the six months. Concrete artifacts, shipped on a schedule, owned by Tradewell forever.

Technical audit & crawl
Full log-file and crawl analysis of all 140K pages, indexation map, and a prioritized remediation backlog scoped to your stack.
Indexation & crawl-budget fixes
Faceted-URL handling, canonical strategy, sitemap automation, and internal-linking architecture across the catalog.
Structured data rollout
Product, Offer, and AggregateRating schema templated across SKU and category pages to win pricing and availability rich results.
Intent keyword & content map
Procurement-intent keyword model with a content brief library for your highest-value category and buying-guide pages.
Category & buying-guide pages
Twelve flagship landing pages targeting top-intent terms, built to convert searchers into marketplace signups.
Authority & link foundation
Digital-PR and supplier-directory outreach to build relevant authority signals in the industrial-supply space.
Live dashboard & monthly readout
Always-on reporting plus a senior strategy session every month tied to ranking, traffic, and signup metrics.
Out of scope, by design
Paid search, paid social, and full content production sit outside this engagement — we'll flag where they'd amplify results, but our focus stays organic and technical.
