How LSEO Helped Beleza na Web Turn Enterprise SEO Cleanup Into Millions in Organic Growth

01 / The Challenge

At enterprise scale, small SEO problems multiply quickly.

Beleza na Web did not need a basic SEO checklist. It needed a system capable of finding and prioritizing issues across a six-figure page count while identifying where the business could capture more high-value organic demand.

The technical layer included broken pages, duplicate and missing metadata, canonical problems, sitemap issues, broken images and external links, missing H1s, and schema errors. At the same time, the company wanted deeper keyword intelligence: where competitors were winning, which paid-search terms were already converting, and where those signals could inform organic growth.

The real challenge was not finding one SEO problem. It was creating order across a massive catalog, then turning that cleaner foundation into measurable search and revenue growth.
ScaleMore than 100,000 pages created technical complexity that could compound crawl, metadata, canonicalization, and indexing problems.
CompetitionLarge beauty competitors were capturing thousands of terms and keyword variations not fully represented in Beleza na Web's organic footprint.
Paid vs. OrganicSome high-converting paid-search queries did not have equivalent organic visibility.
IntentThe team needed to understand whether Google wanted eCommerce category/product pages or informational content for each opportunity.

02 / What LSEO Found

Technical cleanup and demand research were two sides of the same growth problem.

Fixing crawl and indexation issues created a stronger platform, but the larger opportunity came from connecting technical health to commercial search demand.

01

Technical debt was suppressing scale

Broken URLs, duplicate metadata, orphaned pages, broken canonicals, missing H1s, image issues, and schema errors created unnecessary friction across a very large site.

02

Paid search revealed organic opportunities

Terms already converting in Google Ads provided direct evidence of commercial demand that organic search was not fully capturing.

03

Competitors exposed thousands of gaps

Competitive keyword research surfaced categories, variations, and beauty terms that rival sites were winning while Beleza na Web had room to improve.

04

SERP intent determined the page type

LSEO reviewed the actual search results to determine whether each opportunity called for a commerce page, editorial content, or a different approach.

03 / The Strategy

Fix the technical foundation, then direct authority and content toward proven demand.

LSEO worked with the client's development team to clean up technical issues while building the keyword and SERP intelligence needed for an ongoing enterprise growth roadmap.

Technical SEO

Systematically reduce sitewide friction

LSEO crawled the site with multiple tools, documented technical errors, prioritized fixes, and collaborated with developers to improve crawlability, indexing, metadata quality, internal consistency, and structured data.

Keyword Intelligence

Use actual business demand as the research input

The strategy combined competitor gaps with paid-search conversion data so the organic roadmap was informed by terms already demonstrating commercial value.

SERP Strategy

Build the right page for the query

Each meaningful opportunity was evaluated against Google's live results to determine whether users and search engines were rewarding category pages, product pages, or informational content.

04 / The Early Breakthrough

Within months, search visibility and organic revenue moved sharply upward.

The original LSEO case study captured the first major performance window from spring through July 2020. Those first-party results remain some of the clearest evidence of the engagement's business impact.

05 / Full-Engagement Performance

The growth continued beyond the original three-month case-study window.

Because the original case study focused heavily on the first several months, LSEO revisited historical SEMrush snapshots from the start and end of the full March 2020–April 2021 engagement. These are third-party estimates, but they provide useful independent context for the broader trajectory.

06 / Search Footprint Evidence

Even the U.S. export shows more keywords reaching the positions that matter.

The supplied U.S. SEMrush exports are not the primary market evidence for this Brazilian retailer, but they provide an additional matched-keyword view of how visibility changed between the beginning and end of the engagement.

07 / Why It Worked

LSEO treated technical SEO as a growth system, not a cleanup project.

Technical improvements unlocked scale

On a 100,000+ page site, fixes to canonicalization, metadata, indexing, headings, sitemaps, images, and schema can affect enormous numbers of URLs at once.

Paid data improved organic prioritization

Instead of choosing targets only by search volume, LSEO used paid-search conversion signals to identify terms with demonstrated commercial value.

SERP intent reduced wasted content

By checking what Google actually ranked, the team could recommend the right page type rather than forcing every opportunity into the same template.

01

Enterprise SEO compounds through systems.

At this scale, repeatable technical and content rules matter more than one-off page optimizations.

02

Revenue should inform keyword strategy.

Paid-search data can reveal which search terms deserve organic investment because they have already proven their commercial value.

03

Search intent determines the asset.

Enterprise teams move faster when they know whether a category, product, or editorial page has the best chance to win before development begins.

What This Means in the AI Search Era

This engagement predates modern AI Visibility measurement — and we do not rewrite history.

The Beleza na Web engagement ended in April 2021, before LSEO's current first-party AI Visibility platform and before today's generative search environment. LSEO therefore does not attribute any present-day AI visibility to this historical engagement.

What remains relevant is the operating principle: large brands need technically accessible content, clear entities, strong commercial coverage, and page types that match user intent. Those fundamentals support discoverability whether the interface is a traditional search result or an AI-generated answer.

Measurement & Data Integrity

Case Study FAQs

Questions about the Beleza na Web engagement.

What services did LSEO provide to Beleza na Web?
LSEO provided enterprise SEO with a heavy technical focus, including large-scale crawl diagnostics, metadata and canonical cleanup, sitemap and image issue identification, heading and schema recommendations, competitive keyword gap research, paid-to-organic keyword analysis, and SERP intent analysis.
How much did organic revenue grow?
The original LSEO case study reports organic revenue increasing 104.20% from April through July 2020 versus the previous comparison period, generating approximately $9 million in additional revenue. Year over year for the same period, organic revenue increased 72.72%.
How much did organic traffic grow?
The original case study reports organic traffic increasing 54.30% versus the previous period and 73.24% year over year during the initial measured window. Across the full March 2020–April 2021 engagement, SEMrush's worldwide modeled estimate increased from 4.3 million to 6.7 million monthly organic visits.
Why was paid-search data part of an SEO strategy?
Paid search supplied evidence of which terms were already converting. LSEO used those signals to identify valuable keywords where the site could build stronger organic visibility rather than prioritizing solely on search volume.
Why does the updated case study use SEMrush?
The original case study documented only the first several months of performance. Historical SEMrush snapshots from March 2020 and April 2021 were added to provide broader end-to-end context for the full engagement. Those figures are labeled as third-party estimates.
Does LSEO claim this 2020–2021 work generated current AI visibility?
No. The engagement predates modern AI-search measurement, so this case study makes no current AI Visibility attribution claim.
