The website novocraft.ru is a store operating simultaneously in both B2B and B2C segments (i.e., serving both retail and wholesale clients). The company also produces hand and power tools under its own brand. Accordingly, we needed to optimize the website so that it would accomplish three goals:

  • Attract retail customers with a wide selection, clear pricing, and special offers.
  • Provide wholesalers with supply guarantees and facilitate large-scale deals.
  • Promote the company’s own brand and highlight its advantages.

Creating a “3-in-1” website is not easy, but it’s a manageable task for true professionals! We started by developing the semantics for both retail and wholesale segments and organized the website structure. Then we improved the visual presentation of products and usability. A comprehensive technical optimization was carried out, including fixing numerous duplicate meta tags, broken links, and other errors. Here’s what we achieved.

About the Client’s Business

Online store of tools and fasteners, wholesale and retail sales.

Main Goal

Comprehensive SEO promotion of all product categories, attracting traffic for both wholesale and retail segments.

Objectives

  • Adapting the website to meet B2B and B2C segment needs
  • Increasing search engine traffic
  • Improving conversions and return visits
  • Promoting the client’s own brand

Website Features and Work Challenges

1. Large-scale store with complex architecture
Projects of this type often have confusing navigation and duplicate pages. This hinders search engine promotion, reduces conversions, and worsens user behavior metrics.
2. Mixing B2B and B2C segments within a single project
Clients include not only private individuals but also large companies. Therefore, the website needed to be convenient for both retail and wholesale sales.

Completed Tasks

1. Preparation of the semantic core (wholesale, retail, brand).
2. Technical analysis of the website.
3. Addition of SEO-optimized articles in 2 stages.
4. Specification of canonical URLs — required for over 70% of website pages.
5. Replacement of duplicate headings and meta tags with unique descriptions.
6. Monitoring page indexing by search engines.
7. Fixing errors in the sitemap.
8. Eliminating duplicate pages and broken links.
9. Fixing "coverage" format errors.
10. Redirect configuration.
11. Filling sections with thematic content.
12. Publishing informational articles.
13. External promotion — registration in thematic directories.

Problem and Solution

Complex structure, large number of products. Websites of this type are very demanding on the technical side, so our first step was to eliminate errors and organize a structured layout. Additionally, the following tasks were performed:

  • Setting up meta tags for sections with commercial keywords
  • Improving site navigation
  • Creating a hierarchy of headings with uniqueness checks
  • Adding keywords to image alt attributes (for image search)

Mixing wholesale and retail segments required careful semantic work. We considered queries from both target audiences. For retail customers, we used high-frequency keywords, and for wholesalers — low-frequency keywords combined with branded queries. The catalog was also structured to present products more effectively.

Results Achieved

Thanks to SEO promotion, the number of new visitors increased multiple times within 3 months. The growth trend continued afterwards:
The weekly graph shows that the number of visits from search engines increased 17 times:
Conversion targets are consistently exceeded:
For some search queries, we even surpassed Yandex Market and Ozon:

Development Plans

1. Preparation of informational blog articles.
2. External optimization by building backlinks to increase search engine trust.
3. Adding a FAQ section (questions and answers).
4. Improving loading speed on mobile devices.
5. Monitoring the uniqueness and relevance of content and meta tags.
6. Controlling the indexing of new pages by search engines.

Continuing Our Work!

This project was a very interesting experience in multi-directional website promotion. Achieving the desired results required grouping semantics for both B2B and B2C segments, eliminating conflicting tags and duplicates. We paid close attention to content updates and preparing SEO articles to fill sections. As part of external optimization, we registered the site in relevant catalogs.

In the end, our client gained new customers in both wholesale and retail segments, and we improved our skills and acquired new knowledge. Much has been done, but there are still opportunities for further development. We continue to look for growth points, implement new technologies, and apply innovative solutions!
