Major SEO Challenges Faced by B Hemmings & Co.
Hreflang Issues Across Multi-Region Stores
B Hemmings & Co. served customers across multiple regions, but their international SEO structure lacked proper hreflang implementation. Search engines struggled to understand which regional pages should appear for different audiences, resulting in indexing inconsistencies, duplicate content signals, and reduced visibility in relevant geographic markets.
Slow-Loading Website
The website featured hundreds of product pages containing high-resolution product imagery and extensive catalogue information. Over time, heavy page elements, inefficient resource delivery, and technical bottlenecks negatively affected loading speeds. This impacted both user experience and organic rankings, particularly as page speed became an increasingly important ranking factor.
Low Conversion Rate
Although the website attracted visitors, a significant portion of users left without completing a purchase. High-value products often involve longer consideration periods, and friction throughout the buying journey affects conversions. Inefficient product discovery, unclear calls-to-action, and missed optimization opportunities prevented traffic from translating into revenue.

B Hemmings & Co.’s multi-region presence required a stronger international SEO framework to ensure search engines served the correct pages to the appropriate audiences. Our team conducted an in-depth technical audit and resolved hreflang implementation issues that were creating conflicting signals. We optimized canonical tags, refined XML sitemaps, and improved indexation directives to eliminate duplicate content concerns. By strengthening the website’s international architecture, we enhanced regional targeting, improved crawl efficiency, and helped search engines understand the relationship between location-specific pages, resulting in better visibility across key markets.
