The Challenge

Overview

JDM Plates, a leader in custom license plates, wanted to elevate its online visibility and capture a larger share of its market. With competition increasing, the company turned to Outrank to implement a data-driven SEO strategy that would deliver sustainable growth.

In just over a year, JDM Plates saw a remarkable increase in non-branded organic traffic, significant growth in transactional and commercial keyword rankings, and improved domain authority—all of which translated into enhanced revenue opportunities. Their YoY performance for the past three months tells a story of exponential growth and tangible business impact.

JDM GSC Overview

JDM Plates faced several key hurdles:

  • Low Visibility in Non-Branded Keywords: Most of their traffic came from branded searches, limiting their potential to attract new customers organically.
  • Weak Domain Authority: A low domain rating and insufficient referring domains hindered their ability to compete in search engine rankings.
  • Missed Commercial Opportunities: Ranking for informational keywords without commercial or transactional intent meant untapped revenue potential.

The company needed a strategy to:

  1. Increase non-branded keyword rankings such as Number Plate Maker, 4d Number Plates and 3d Number Plates
  2. Build domain authority through high-quality backlinks.
  3. Focus on commercial and transactional keyword growth to drive conversions.
