The Challenge

StickerIt had strong brand recognition and a large product catalog, but organic growth in the US was being held back by a few high impact issues created after the Shopify migration. The most valuable collection pages, especially the US custom stickers page, lost rankings and visibility, with core money keywords slipping far from the first page.

At the same time, the site was sending mixed signals to Google. Thousands of thin pages, duplicated titles and H1s, and indexable pagination created index bloat that wasted crawl attention and diluted authority across low value URLs. Add in UK focused messaging showing up on US pages, and the site was less relevant for US search intent than it needed to be.

Even with demand clearly there, StickerIt was not capturing its full share of high intent sticker traffic. Without stronger collection page UX, tighter index control, and authority concentrated on the five key revenue pages, a large chunk of sticker related revenue potential was being left on the table.

The Solution

Instead of chasing vanity traffic or spreading efforts across too many product categories, we built a focused, revenue driven SEO strategy centered on the five highest value sticker pages in the US market.

First, we rebuilt the foundation of the money pages. We redesigned key collection pages to improve above the fold messaging, bring back social proof and reviews, improve mobile usability, and increase keyword relevance without hurting conversion. Every core sticker page was optimized for content depth, intent alignment, and user engagement.

Second, we cleaned up the backend. We addressed index bloat by controlling which pages should be indexed and where hreflang should apply. We fixed duplicate titles, duplicate H1s, thin pages, broken links, and 4xx errors to improve crawl efficiency and strengthen overall site quality signals.

Third, we increased visibility and authority. We launched structured monthly CTR testing to improve click through rates directly in the search results. At the same time, we conducted a full backlink audit, disavowed toxic domains, and began acquiring high quality links pointing directly to our five target product pages to move rankings where revenue is generated.

Finally, we rebuilt topical authority. We overhauled the blog strategy to focus strictly on sticker related content that supports product pages, strengthens internal linking, and builds semantic relevance around core sticker keywords.

Every action was tied to one outcome: increase revenue by driving high intent organic traffic to the pages that matter most.

The Results

Over the last 6 months, Stickerit.co saw a major lift in organic visibility and traffic.

Total clicks jumped from 137K to 401K, a gain of 264K clicks. Impressions grew from 10.9M to 24.2M. CTR improved from 1.3% to 1.7%, and average position moved from 22.7 to 9.8, pushing many terms from page 2 and 3 into page 1 territory.

The wins showed up on high intent queries too. “Sticker maker” climbed from 108 to 2,341 clicks with average position improving from 40.3 to 10.5. “Sticker maker online” jumped from 80 to 2,370 clicks and improved from 21.3 to 6.4 in average position. Conversion focused queries like “image to vector,” “png to vector,” and “vectorize image” also added thousands of clicks while gaining 2 to 5 positions on average.

Top Pages Driving Growth

Important pages drove the majority of Stickerit.co’s organic growth over the last 6 months, with the biggest gains coming from high intent tool pages and top performing blog content.

The Vectoriser tool page led the surge, growing from 49,232 to 150,077 clicks, a gain of 100,845 clicks, while improving average position from 18.4 to 11.9. The Online Designer page also scaled fast, climbing from 7,295 to 45,096 clicks, up 37,801, and moving from position 28 to 15.6.

Localized versions of these core tools expanded the footprint. The French Vectorisateur page increased from 6,395 to 29,259 clicks, up 22,864, reaching an average position of 6.2. The US Vectoriser and US Online Designer pages also broke through, with the US Vectoriser going from 4 to 6,366 clicks and the US Online Designer jumping from 8 to 3,781 clicks.

Blog content delivered major incremental traffic, especially around buyer intent searches. The “Best Printer for Stickers” article went from 57 to 13,637 clicks on the main site, and the US version added 11,528 clicks from near zero. Evergreen guides like “Standard Sticker Sizes” also strengthened, rising from 1,032 to 5,149 clicks.

Finally, the homepage contributed meaningful brand and discovery growth, increasing from 2,092 to 6,538 clicks, while improving average position from 38.8 to 20.2.

Keyword Ranking Expansion

As the technical issues were resolved and authority was concentrated on the five highest value sticker pages, Sticker It began regaining visibility across its core keyword set in the US market.

Over the six month period, 29 tracked keywords improved in rankings, reflecting broad upward momentum across the campaign’s priority search terms. The most important movement occurred in high value positions where traffic and revenue are generated.

30 of the 58 tracked keywords now rank within the Top 3 positions, representing an 87.5% increase (+14 keywords) during the period. First page visibility also expanded significantly, with 46 keywords ranking on page one of Google, an increase of 12 additional first page rankings (+35.3%).

Beyond the very top positions, overall search presence strengthened across the entire dataset. 47 keywords rank within the top two pages, while 49 keywords now appear within the top three pages of Google, showing improved coverage across mid funnel and competitive queries.

AI Visibility & Citations

As Sticker It’s technical foundation and topical authority improved, the brand also began gaining visibility across AI powered search ecosystems. These platforms increasingly influence how users discover products, research solutions, and compare vendors, making presence within AI generated responses an important growth signal.

Sticker It saw strong adoption across multiple large language model platforms. ChatGPT generated 1.7K citations referencing 471 pages from the website, reflecting a broad range of product and informational content being surfaced in AI driven answers. Google’s AI Overviews produced 296 citations across 102 pages, while Google Gemini referenced 534 citations across 454 pages, further expanding the brand’s reach in conversational search environments.

Additional visibility was recorded across other AI systems. Perplexity generated 382 citations referencing 172 pages, while Microsoft Copilot produced 192 citations across 104 pages




Brand Radar


As Sticker It’s technical SEO foundation and topical authority improved, the brand began gaining significantly more visibility across AI powered search environments. Data from Ahrefs Brand Radar shows a steady increase in how frequently Sticker It appears in Google AI Overviews and other AI generated search results.

At the start of the tracking period, Sticker It had almost no presence in AI generated search responses. As site structure, indexing control, and product page relevance improved, the brand started appearing more consistently in AI generated answers tied to sticker related queries.

Growth accelerated toward the end of the period, with AI Overview mentions increasing sharply and reaching the highest level recorded in the dataset. This upward trend indicates that more Sticker It pages are being recognized by AI systems as reliable sources when generating answers for users searching for sticker products, customization options, and related topics.
