Dhaka Fashion Hub: 420% Organic Traffic Growth
Dhaka Fashion Hub came to Adfix Agency facing a classic e-commerce SEO crisis: ballooning paid-ad spend, near-zero organic visibility, and a website architecture that Google couldn't efficiently crawl. Over six months of systematic SEO work, we turned their organic channel from an afterthought into their primary revenue driver - delivering a 420% traffic increase and replacing paid ads entirely.
Background
Founded in 2019, Dhaka Fashion Hub sells traditional Bangladeshi garments - sarees, panjabis, and salwar kameez - primarily to urban Dhaka customers. By early 2023, they were spending ৳4.5 lakh/month on Google Ads with a cost-per-acquisition of ৳1,800 per order, far above their ৳150 product margin target. Organic traffic contributed fewer than 820 sessions per month despite having 400+ SKUs indexed.
What We Found
- ✕78% of product pages had duplicate title tags auto-generated by their CMS template
- ✕Category pages were blocked in robots.txt - Google had never crawled them
- ✕Core Web Vitals failed on all metrics: LCP 8.2s, CLS 0.42, FID 380ms
- ✕Zero structured data across the entire site - no Product, BreadcrumbList, or Organization schema
- ✕Domain rating of 11 with only 4 referring domains - no link equity
- ✕No internal linking between product and category pages - 'orphan' product problem
Our Strategy

- Removed robots.txt block on /category/ URLs; re-submitted sitemap → 340 pages newly indexed within 14 days

- Published 48 supporting cluster articles targeting long-tail Eid, wedding, and seasonal keywords
