SEO Case Study

Swissmar Canada

Client Overview

Swissmar, based in Richmond Hill, Ontario, is a leading distributor of European housewares and cookware, serving a global market. In addition to its own Swissmar-branded products—including the well-known Shucker Paddy oyster tools—the company is the exclusive North American partner for Börner of Germany and the exclusive Canadian partner for SCANPAN of Denmark and DKB brands such as Zyliss, Cole & Mason, Ken Hom, and AdHoc.

As a brand operating in a highly competitive market, Swissmar faced the challenge of ranking higher on brand-name-based keywords and product-related searches to increase visibility. However, competition from major retailers like Amazon and Walmart, which sell many of the same products, made it difficult to achieve top search rankings.

Challenges & Objectives

Swissmar’s primary challenge was competing with big-box retailers that dominate search results for cookware and kitchen tools. Large marketplaces like Amazon, Walmart, and Wayfair had an advantage due to their massive domain authority and extensive product listings.

The key objectives of this SEO campaign were:

  • Improve search rankings for branded keywords, including Swissmar, Börner, and Ken Hom.
  • Enhance visibility for high-intent product searches, such as raclettes, fondue pots, and oyster shuckers.
  • Drive organic traffic to Swissmar’s website, increasing both impressions and clicks.
  • Optimize content and site structure to improve user experience and search engine performance.

Over a 6-month period, the SEO improvements resulted in a significant boost in visibility and engagement:

  • Previous 6 months:
    • 5.86K clicks
    • 254K impressions
  • Last 6 months:
    • 15.7K clicks
    • 499K impressions

This represents a 167% increase in clicks and a 97% increase in impressions, demonstrating the effectiveness of targeted SEO optimizations.

The Swissmar SEO campaign successfully improved brand and product visibility, increased organic traffic, and helped Swissmar compete against big-box retailers in search rankings. The combination of technical SEO enhancements, content optimization, and strategic recipe pages led to long-term growth in engagement, setting the foundation for sustained online success.
