Great gear. Is your marketing keeping up?
Most outdoor brands and retailers we audit have products people love. Shoppers just can't find them, can't compare them easily, and never hear from the store again after the first order. See what changes when we step in.
Traffic has plateaued
Category pages stuck on page two while marketplaces take the clicks.
Browsers, but no buyers
Slow mobile pages, weak filters and a checkout that loses carts.
New store, quiet opening
Nobody nearby knows you've opened, or that you rent kayaks and run trips.
One-and-done customers
First-time buyers never hear about the next season's gear or upgrades.
Rankings for buyer-ready searches
Category, product and guide pages built around what shoppers actually type.
A store that converts
Fast mobile, filters for size, weight and temp rating, and a streamlined checkout.
Every launch lands locally
Geofenced ads, Maps visibility and landing pages for openings, rentals and trips.
Customers who come back
Back-in-stock, seasonal launch and loyalty emails that bring repeat orders.

- Intent-mapped pages: commercial, informational and local keywords, each with a page built to win it.

Google Shopping & paid search
Shoppers want to see the gear, the price and the rating before they click. Shopping ads put all three in front of them, right when they're comparing.
- Feed optimisation: rich titles, weight, size and temp rating attributes, live price and stock.
- Seasonal scaling: budgets that ramp up for summer camping and winter ski prep, and ease off in between.
- Geofenced store ads: reach shoppers within 10 miles of your store with local inventory and pickup.

- Google Business Profile: categories, photos, events, local inventory and weekly posts.
- Location & service pages: rank for rentals, repairs, fittings and guided trips in your area.
- Review engine: automatic review requests after every in-store purchase or rental.

How long does e-commerce SEO take for an outdoor gear store?
Technical fixes and better product and category pages can start moving rankings within 2–3 months. Competitive terms like "ultralight tent" or "waterproof hiking boots" usually take 4–9 months, depending on your catalogue, site health and competition.
Do you manage Google Shopping and our product feed?
Yes. We clean up and enrich your product feed with titles, attributes like weight, size and temperature rating, and accurate stock and pricing, then run Shopping and Performance Max campaigns that scale up and down with the season.
We have a physical store. Can you drive foot traffic too?
Yes. We optimise your Google Business Profile, show local inventory and "pick up in store" options, and run geofenced ads for shoppers within about 10 miles of your store. For a new store opening we build a pre-launch local campaign so you open with a crowd.
Can you work with outdoor creators and influencers for us?
Yes. We find creators whose audiences match your gear, from thru-hikers to fly fishers, brief honest field tests and reviews, and turn the best content into ads, product page video and backlinks.
Am I locked into a long contract?
No. We earn renewals with results, backed by clear monthly reports on revenue, orders, store visits, return on ad spend and repeat purchase rate.
