OVERVIEW
A lean sports-equipment brand went head-to-head with multi-million-dollar retail aggregators and out-ranked them. By rebuilding the store around commercial intent and engineering it for AI-driven discovery, Miyagi captured page-one positions for its most valuable non-branded terms and earned early citations inside LLM search answers.
THE CHALLENGE
What Was Holding Growth Back
- 01Deeply funded retail aggregators with DR 60+ dominated the sports category, making authority-based competition unrealistic.
- 02Multi-category giants crowded out specialist stores by claiming broad category keywords across the front page.
- 03Early organic traffic skewed informational, pulling in browsers instead of buyers ready to purchase.
- 04The shift toward AI Overviews and chat-based search threatened to erode discovery volume across primary channels.
THE STRATEGY
How We Solved It
Intent-Aligned Architecture
Rebuilt the collection taxonomy into tightly scoped category hubs so crawlers mapped high-intent transactional paths straight to commercial pages rather than blog posts.
Non-Branded Penetration
Prioritized non-branded commercial keywords with Spanish purchase modifiers ('comprar', 'tienda de') across on-page copy, structured data, and supporting entities.
Generative Engine Optimization
Restructured content to feed clean, definitive context into AI indexes, securing early visibility inside LLM answers and AI Overviews.
Lean Technical Footprint
Kept the site fast and crawlable, proving a small, well-structured store can outmaneuver bloated corporate aggregators.
