The story · derived from the data

Challenge, approach, result

No quotes, no embellishment: this is what the numbers, the plan and the routes used tell you.

  1. The challenge

    At the start this business already had 4,164 organic visitors a month in Netherlands. The question was not whether growth was possible, but where it was still hiding next to an already known brand.

    In short: Premium bag specialist; buying guides now cited by AI assistants more often than the manufacturers.

  2. What Traze published

    On the Growth plan Traze publishes 20 pages a month, which adds up to roughly 140 pages over this 7 months window. Every page went straight into the CMS after approval, with metadata, schema and internal links.

    The content mix followed the routes chosen: AI SEO, E-commerce SEO.

    The loop that ran here

    1. Learn — Traze learns your business first.
    2. Plan — It builds the strategy, on its own.
    3. Write — It writes the content.
    4. Publish — It ships everything for you.
    5. Optimise — It keeps improving.
    6. Measure — You see everything, live.

  3. The result

    After 7 months organic traffic stood at 9,770 visitors a month: 5,606 more than at the start, growth of 135%.

    The first months were slow, because new pages have to be indexed first and clusters need time. Half of the growth was in after 4 months; the largest monthly jump came in June 2026. Towards the measurement date the curve flattened out.

    At the same time AI citations went from 3 to 280 a month: pages that answer a question directly get named as a source by AI assistants.

    Measurement date: 31 August 2026. The numbers have not been updated since.
