About Client & Challenge

iBoats is a well-established marine retailer with more than 20 years in business, offering a wide range of boat parts, accessories, and aftermarket products to boat owners across the U.S. With a strong reputation and loyal customer base, a large portion of their sales historically came from repeat customers. The challenge was expanding beyond that existing customer base and generating new sales for specific product categories. The opportunity was to identify products with strong existing search demand and put iBoats in front of customers who were already searching for those products on Google. Rather than trying to promote the entire catalog at once, we focused the strategy on high-search-volume product terms where there was a clear opportunity to acquire new customers.

Heavy Reliance on Repeat Customers

Limited Visibility for High-Demand Products

Underperforming Product Categories

Targeted Solution

We developed a product-focused acquisition strategy designed to help iBoats generate new customers and sales beyond its existing loyal customer base. Instead of trying to promote every product in the catalog, we identified boat parts and accessories with meaningful search demand and concentrated our SEO efforts on the products customers were already searching for. The strategy combined high-volume product keyword targeting, SEO optimization, and Facebook advertising to create multiple opportunities for new customer acquisition. By prioritizing products with stronger search potential, we could focus resources on areas with a clearer path to generating sales rather than simply increasing overall website traffic.

IMPLEMENTATION
STRATEGY

PRODUCT-LEVEL KEYWORD TARGETING

Identified high-search-volume boat parts and product names and built the SEO strategy around the products with the greatest opportunity to attract new buyers.

FOCUS ON SEARCH DEMAND

Rather than targeting broad marine terms, we focused on searches where customers were actively looking for specific products and were closer to making a purchase.

SEO FOR NEW CUSTOMER ACQUISITION

Optimized product pages and supporting content to increase organic visibility for valuable product searches and capture demand from customers who had never purchased from iBoats before.

FACEBOOK ADS TO EXPAND REACH

Launched targeted Facebook advertising to put relevant products in front of potential buyers beyond Google search and create another acquisition channel.

What the Client Had to Say

“The SMW team has been absolutely amazing. We 3X’d our company in just 7 months of working together. With their help, we were able to successfully exit the business within one year of working together. I strongly recommend SMW to anyone who is serious about growing their company.”
