Case Studies/Steve Apparel
Record-Breaking SEO Growth in Just 3 Months
The Background
Steve Apparel is a USA-based custom clothing manufacturer that caters to startups, fashion entrepreneurs, and businesses seeking private label and full-package apparel production. While their service offerings were solid, their online visibility was limited, resulting in low organic traffic and minimal keyword reach.
To stand out in the competitive apparel manufacturing space, Steve Apparel partnered with Flux SEO Pro to build a dominant organic presence. The challenge was clear: increase qualified traffic, boost search rankings for commercial-intent keywords, and ultimately drive more inquiries and conversions.
With a goal of ranking for critical industry terms and owning key search real estate, we set out to reposition Steve Apparel as the go-to provider for custom clothing manufacturing in the USA.
Keyword Strategy: Capturing High-Intent Apparel Manufacturing Traffic
Instead of targeting overly broad fashion or ecommerce keywords, we honed in on high-conversion, service-aligned queries directly tied to Steve Apparel’s offerings.
Our primary keyword targets included:
Custom Clothing Manufacturer USA
Private Label Clothing Production
Apparel Manufacturing Companies
Custom Clothing for Startups
USA-Based Apparel Manufacturing
This keyword set allowed us to align directly with Steve Apparel’s B2B audience, ensuring we attracted traffic with real purchase intent while positioning the brand as a leader in American manufacturing.
