The Starting Point
A new Shopify shop for plant-based animal products, specializing in natural supplements and care products for horses. The shop started at zero: no rankings, no organic traffic, no domain history.
The niche is specific. But the target audience actively searches for solutions for various horse ailments. That means: whoever is visible here reaches purchase-ready customers.
The Challenge
- Complete fresh start: No existing visibility, no domain authority
- Specific niche: Target audience has high information needs before purchase
- Shopify platform: Technical peculiarities that need to be considered
- No backlink budget: Growth must work purely through technology and content
