Woodland Manufacturing creates custom signs and letters with precision craftsmanship and creative engineering.
Woodland Manufacturing built a loyal following with its quality, flexibility, and fast turnaround.
Yet by late 2016, digital performance stalled, and organic visibility stopped climbing. High-intent
shoppers weren’t finding category pages. Growth flatlined. The brand needed a smarter path to
capture the demand already in the market.
By early 2017, the goal was clear: turn category depth into discoverability and measurable
traffic. Act Bold focused on keyword intent and restructured category targets. We also tightened
on-page signals. The result was a repeatable optimization process that unlocked sustained
gains. It set the stage for long-term growth.
Organic traffic plateaued at the end of 2016 and into early 2017. Category pages weren’t
aligned to the keywords customers actually searched.
Solution
Act Bold enhanced keyword targeting across category pages and reinforced on-page relevance.
We focused authority where it mattered to capture qualified intent.
Results
Monthly organic sessions climbed from around 8,000 to about 13,000 by the end of 2018. A
sustainable optimization process kept traffic growing beyond the initial lift.
I am so very pleased with ActBold and their SEO strategy. The are helping us rank for keywords we never knew existed. Their attention to detail and communication are superb – Highly recommended.

Challenge
Traffic had stalled, and rankings refused to move. Sure, category pages showcased the right
products. But they sent the wrong signals to search engines. Broad terms weakened relevance,
and internal links didn’t direct authority where it mattered. Since search engines struggled to
align pages with user intent, otherwise accelerated growth halted.
Woodland Manufacturing needed precision, not volume. That meant mapping real queries to
specific categories and tightening metadata. It also required clarified paths for both users and
crawlers. The objective was to convert catalog depth into ranked entry points. Each
improvement aligned directly with buyer behavior and product relevance. Sustainable wins
would come from a process – something that could be repeated, measured, and even scaled
across the site without slowing delivery.
Solution
SEO
We rebuilt category-level targeting around high-intent keywords and variants. Titles, H1s, and
metadata were aligned to query patterns. Internal linking concentrated authority on priority
categories, while schema and on-page structure clarified products, materials, and uses. The
outcome was clearer relevance, cleaner crawl paths, and pages that matched how customers
actually searched. These refinements boosted crawl efficiency. They signaled lasting topical
authority to search engines.
Marketing and Branding
We refined category content to support decision-making with concise intros, use cases, and
spec clarity that kept shoppers moving. Support pages and guides reinforced authority while
they funneled visitors into the right categories. Visual hierarchy and CTAs were tuned to reduce
friction. Together, the updates strengthened brand trust. They also turned browsing into a
purposeful entry from search. The result was a seamless customer journey that blended
storytelling with conversion-driven design.
Results
SEO Success That Scales with You
Momentum shifted fast, with data confirming strong gains across all performance indicators.
Monthly organic sessions rose from roughly 8,000 to about 13,000 by the end of 2018. This
marked a durable increase tied to category relevance. The new optimization process became a
playbook; it was repeatable, measurable, and scalable across the catalog. Rankings improved
and entry points diversified. Qualified traffic ultimately compounded. Most importantly, growth
continued beyond the initial lift as the process matured and expanded.
