The Challenge
Neighbor came to Socratik in 2022 seeking to grow a profitable e-commerce business without relying on traditional fundraising. Their main challenge was scaling sustainably in a highly seasonal industry, where most sales occur between March and August. While they had early traction through paid social channels, they were experiencing diminishing returns and needed to diversify acquisition. With limited organic visibility, nascent PR efforts, and a newly hired content team, they partnered with us to build a stronger SEO foundation, differentiate their brand from legacy competitors, and drive long-term, cost-effective growth.

The Solution
To address Neighbor’s core challenges of seasonality, over-reliance on paid media, and a need for long-term organic growth, we launched a comprehensive SEO engagement beginning in 2021. We started with a full technical audit to resolve performance issues impacting search visibility, then developed a robust keyword strategy based on competitive and trend data. From there, we optimized high-impact landing pages and partnered with Neighbor’s content team to deliver SEO blog articles every month. We also executed a targeted link-building campaign designed to secure high-quality backlinks to boost authority and rankings. This multi-pronged approach laid a strong technical and content foundation, positioning Neighbor for sustainable organic growth even during their off-season. Since then, our partnership has continued into 2025 and beyond, with Socratik serving as their ongoing SEO agency to drive long-term performance and support evolving digital strategy needs.
