Large-scale Restaurant Equipment Supplier Achieves 390% Organic Traffic Growth in 11 Months

The client provides commercial kitchen equipment, restaurant furniture, and operational resources to operators across multiple regional markets. The company maintains extensive product catalogs, high-volume inventories, and a reputation for quality among restaurant operators, cafes, and catering services. Visibility in search engines directly affects customer acquisition, catalog discovery, and B2B engagement.

Large-scale restaurant equipment suppliers, multi-location kitchen providers, and commercial foodservice vendors rely on authoritative content, technical SEO, and scalable optimizations to rank across competitive, product-focused search queries.

Key Metrics

“We increased this client’s website traffic and positioned their restaurant product catalogs in front of multi-regional restaurant operators. Improvements in keyword coverage and search visibility were immediate and measurable.”

— Manick, Founder, CTO, and CEO, LinkGraph

The Challenge

The client faced limited search visibility for commercial kitchen equipment and multi-location restaurant supply queries. Organic keyword coverage remained narrow, while competitors with higher domain authority dominated the category and product-level results. Internal teams lacked experience in large-scale keyword portfolio management, programmatic content alignment, and authority-driven backlink acquisition. SEO execution required simultaneous optimization for product pages, category pages, and resource guides across multiple markets.

Search engines require proper indexation, internal linking architecture, and crawl efficiency to rank multi-category catalogs. Restaurant equipment pages, kitchen supply listings, and operational resources suffered from insufficient backlinks and low authority. Growth in organic traffic depended on aligning technical SEO, programmatic content optimization, and keyword targeting across multiple regions and product categories.

The Strategy

Keyword Portfolio Optimization

Research identified high-value commercial and multi-location restaurant equipment queries relevant to restaurant operators. Product catalogs, category pages, and resource guides received content alignment and semantic clustering to improve search relevance. Metadata optimization and large-scale indexing increased crawl efficiency, while ongoing tracking informed prioritization of high-value pages.

Backlink Acquisition and Authority Growth

Authoritative backlinks grew from 11,041 to 288,972 through supplier directories, industry publications, and regional listings. Anchor text emphasized product categories, brand references, and regional identifiers. Backlink expansion improved domain authority, distributed link equity, and strengthened category and product page prominence across multiple markets.

Technical SEO and Performance Refinement

Traffic analytics, indexing reports, and keyword movement guided iterative technical improvements. Internal linking optimized page depth and crawl coverage. Category pages, product listings, and resource guides underwent mobile responsiveness enhancements, page speed improvements, and scalable indexing. Iterative adjustments ensured high-value content remained aligned with search ranking factors.

The Results

Monthly organic traffic increased from 4,141 to 20,297 over 11 months, an increase of 390%.

Keyword rankings expanded with 600 terms reaching top-3 positions and over 2,000 terms ranking between 4 and 10.

Impressions and clicks reached 10.5 million and 99,900, respectively.
