Project
Proudly Australian-owned, Adairs is obsessed with helping you create the space of your dreams.
With more than 100 years of home behind them, they have the expert advice you need - whether it’s your place to escape, entertain, learn, or relax.
In 2022, Adairs embarked on a journey to build a new website, encountering hurdles during the transition from the old site. Our primary objective was to minimise organic traffic loss during migration while fostering growth with the new site. Complicating matters further the economic landscape was marked by the increasing cost of living, leading consumers to veer away from higher-priced furniture and homewares goods.
Seeking a solution, Adairs partnered with the Overdose. SEO crew to recover lost organic clicks, revenue, and ranking drops post-website migration. Leveraging our expert understanding of enterprise-level challenges and extensive industry knowledge, we collaborated closely to devise and implement SEO strategies aligned with Adairs' overarching business objectives. Through effective communication and seamless teamwork, we navigated through obstacles to rejuvenate the organic channel and drive website revenue. We maintain a solid working relationship, as an extension of the Adairs team contributing to pace, optimisation and expanding the site to continue achieving Adairs' targets.

Navigating Limited Resources and Tight Deadlines in SEO Implementation on the New Site
Numerous issues had plagued the new website, from missing product schema to pagination chunking problems and cross-canonicalisation between AU and NZ sites. Scarce development resources had prevented comprehensive fixes before the site's launch.
The Overdose. SEO team collaborated closely with project managers and developers to prioritise key technical issues based on their potential impact and feasibility. By aligning with stakeholders and emphasising the business metrics tied to each fix, we ensured that high-impact tasks were addressed first, maximising results within the constraints of time and resources.
Adapting Content Strategy for Growth: Overcoming Technical SEO Constraints
Despite recognising the need to address technical debt and expand the information architecture, internal team limitations had prevented progress in these areas.
Instead of pursuing new initiatives, we focused on optimising existing key collection pages. Enhancements included keyword targeting, metadata optimisation, content expansion, schema implementation, optimised headings, and improved internal linking to elevate on-page signals. This strategic approach resulted in significant improvements, including increased keyword rankings to page 1, particularly within the top 3 traffic-generating positions. As a result, we had successfully amplified non-branded clicks to the site, aligning with our growth targets.
Resolving Conflicting Priorities: Navigating Legal Issues and SEO Impact
A legal issue had prompted Adairs to implement a tag across the site which resulted in the necessary removal
