How YouWish Grew Organic Traffic by 50% in 4 Months Across
Background
YouWish is a Dutch cosmetics e-commerce brand specializing in high-quality raw materials for beauty enthusiasts and DIY creators. While the brand had strong products and an established online store, growing competition reduced visibility across key product keywords in the Netherlands and Germany.
To solve this, we executed a multi-layer SEO strategy combining technical cleanup, NL/DE keyword research, on-page optimization, content improvements, and link building. Within just 4 months, YouWish increased organic traffic from 30K to 45K (+50%), achieved up to 80% average ranking growth in NL, and pushed multiple keywords into the Top 5 and #1 positions.

The Challenge
YouWish approached us with two clear issues:
1. Low keyword rankings
Key product and category keywords were not ranking high enough to capture organic traffic or convert new customers.
2. The need for stronger organic growth
They wanted to increase traffic from both the Dutch and German markets — with NL as the priority and DE as a newer expansion opportunity.
Their goal was simple but ambitious: Drive more organic traffic, improve keyword rankings, and increase visibility in two different languages.
Our Approach
To support YouWish’s growth, we executed a multi-layer SEO strategy focused on sustainable, long-term wins.
1. Technical SEO Cleanup: We began by fixing technical barriers affecting crawlability and site performance:
-
Improved site structure
-
Fixed indexing issues
-
Optimized page speed
-
Implemented better metadata hygiene
This created a healthy foundation before scaling content and keyword work.
2. Multi-Market Keyword Research (NL & DE): We conducted deep keyword research separately for:
-
Dutch market (NL) — high-value, high-intent keywords
-
German market (DE) — newer audience, lower baseline, growing opportunity
This allowed us to tailor on-page and content strategies for each region.
3. On-Page Optimization: We optimized priority product and category pages with:
-
Targeted primary keywords
-
Semantic secondary keywords
-
Updated headings, descriptions, and internal linking
-
Improved content structure for readability and relevance
4. Content Creation & Optimization: To support ranking improvements and expand topical authority:
-
Created new blog articles
-
Updated existing pages with fresh, keyword-rich content
-
Aligned content with search intent in both languages
5. Link Building: We focused on both internal and external authority signals:
-
Clean, logical internal linking to boost priority pages
-
High-quality backlinks from relevant websites
-
Strategic distribution of link equity across categories
6. Website Restructuring: We supported YouWish through a partial redesign and development upgrade, improving both user experience and overall SEO performance.
Conclusion
Through a combination of technical optimization, multilingual keyword strategy, focused content creation, and improved site experience, YouWish successfully strengthened its search presence across two markets.
The results were clear: Higher visibility. More traffic. Stronger competitive position.
This case demonstrates how a structured, data-driven SEO strategy — tailored to each language and market — can deliver fast, meaningful results for growing e-commerce brands.
