Scope of Work


You’ll partner with Article’s eCommerce team to conduct a focused SEO audit and develop a prioritized roadmap to improve organic search performance.

  • Assess category pages, product pages, and site templates to identify content and keyword coverage gaps

  • Evaluate Article’s backlink profile and domain authority relative to key competitors.
  • Identify high-value opportunities to improve non-brand search visibility across key product and category terms
  • Benchmark Article’s organic search presence against top SERP competitors to understand share of voice and ranking gaps
  • Quantify opportunity areas by estimating potential traffic impact from priority initiatives
  • Develop a clear and practical SEO roadmap covering quick wins, mid-term improvements, and longer-term investments
  • Provide strategic recommendations on how SEO ownership and operating cadence could work effectively at Article
  • Present findings and recommendations to stakeholders across eCommerce and UX teams
