Clicks Gorilla Key Findings

 

After checking competitors and analyzing the Buddhaland website for target keywords, here’s what we found:

 

  • Google’s first page is dominated by trusted, well-known websites or those with exact domain names. Smaller or newer sites struggle here.

  • Buddhaland’s pages lack keyword-focused meta tags (those hidden titles/descriptions Google reads). Competitors use these smartly to tell Google exactly what their pages are about.

  • Their sites are structured like a neat shop – clear categories, and easy navigation. This helps Google and users find what they need faster.

  • Competitors don’t just stuff keywords (on-page) – they also build links (off-page) from reputed blogs/sites. Buddhaland has too many “do-follow” outgoing links (giving away SEO power) that should be blocked.

  • Top-ranking sites have backlinks from relevant, trusted sources (e.g., home decor blogs linking to their lamps). Buddaland’s backlinks are fewer and less focused.

 

Tools and resources used

Based on our findings above, we put the following tools to good use during the entire execution process:

SEMrush – Keyword research, tracking, and On-site audits

Ahrefs – Competitor Analysis

Screaming Frog – Website Analysis

Google Analytics – Website Traffic Analysis

Google Webmasters  – Website Health Checkup and Crawlability Analysis

 

Working methodology:

Running along the lines of the strategy, we followed these steps to overcome the issues:

  • Overall Analysis of Our Website

  • Technical Audit of our website via Screaming Frog

  • Page Speed Optimization & making the site mobile-responsive

  • Added optimized Alt tags to images

  • Internal linking Optimization 

  • Content, Backlink & Keyword gap analysis with Competitors.

  • Dynamic strategy to create meta tags for product pages 

  • Created Pillar pages to support the category pages for stable keyword Ranking on SERP.

  • Fixing HTTP to HTTPS redirects.
