Project Overview

In November 2022, Loopex Digital partnered with Arka, a custom packaging and box manufacturer committed to sustainable, eco-friendly solutions. The website serves brands looking for responsibly sourced packaging, using FSC-certified materials that combine aesthetic appeal, functional design, and ethical practices. This way, Arka helps brands deliver their products in standout packaging while supporting a healthier planet.
The company needed an expert SEO company to improve its online visibility and rank for both commercial and informational search queries related to custom packaging, custom boxes, and eco-friendly packaging.
Goal
After a challenging site migration caused technical issues that impacted organic visibility, Arka’s main objective was to diagnose and resolve those problems. They aimed to implement a data-driven SEO strategy to restore and surpass pre-migration search rankings. The final goal was to increase organic traffic and overall online sales.
Solutions
Our Technical SEO Team Ran a Full Post-Migration Audit and Fixed the Issues Limiting Visibility
Our first step was to conduct a full technical SEO audit following Arka's migration to Shopify, using our checklist of 170+ checkpoints to leave no angle unchecked. As part of our technical SEO services, our team identified and resolved a range of issues, from URL structures and redirects to indexing, metadata, and site speed optimizations.
We continue to perform weekly and monthly audits to maintain optimal site health and quickly fix any technical issues that come up.
Our SEO Team Optimized Arka's Core Product and Category Pages for High-Intent Search
After resolving the high-priority technical SEO issues, we developed an on-site SEO strategy focused on Arka’s core commercial pages and highest-value product categories. The main priority was to improve visibility for product and custom packaging pages with strong purchase intent, including
- custom boxes - https://www.arka.com/collections/custom-boxes
- custom mailer boxes - https://www.arka.com/products/custom-mailer-boxes
- custom shipping boxes - https://www.arka.com/products/custom-shipping-boxes
- poly mailers - https://www.arka.com/products/custom-poly-mailer
- boxes by size (such as 4x4x4 boxes, 5x5x5x boxes, 10x10x10 boxes, 22x22x22 boxes).
We also expanded the strategy beyond general product terms by targeting more specific use cases and industry-focused pages. This included packaging pages for key customer segments such as retail packaging, apparel and accessories, cosmetics and beauty, wellness and lifestyle, food and beverage packaging, allowing us to capture users searching for packaging solutions based on their business type or product needs.
To support these pages, the SEO team of Loopex Digital conducted detailed keyword research and mapped money keywords to the most relevant product and collection pages. Then, we optimized URLs, metadata, headings, image alt texts, internal links, and on-page content to better match search intent. Alongside these updates, we created more informative and conversion-focused copy that explained product benefits, customization options, and use cases.
With the help of the design team, our SEO team also created custom product visuals to make the pages more useful and engaging for users. This approach helped strengthen the relevance of Arka’s key commercial pages, improve the user experience, and support stronger visibility for high-intent packaging-related search terms.
We Built a 143-Page "Packaging 101" Content Silo to Establish Topical Authority
To further strengthen the site's authority and cover every aspect of Arka's niche, our team created a detailed silo of informative content known as the "Packaging 101 Guide." As part of our SEO content strategy, this guide includes approximately 143 pages/topics on packaging design, materials, types, printing, and shipping. Each article is interconnected through internal linking, serving as both a valuable user resource and a strong internal link structure that supports product-focused pages.
Here are a few examples:
- Packaging Design Ideas
- AI Packaging Design
- Biodegradable Packaging
- Carbon Neutral Packaging
- Circular Packaging
- Clamshell Packaging
- Compostable Packaging
- Cornstarch Packaging
- Corrugated Packaging
- Discreet Packaging
The silo acts as a hub of authoritative, educational content, increasing organic traffic and providing linkable assets for future link-building campaigns.
We Implemented a Smart Internal Linking Strategy and Custom Visuals to Distribute Link Equity
We implemented a smart internal linking strategy to guide users from the main “Packaging 101 Guide” articles to related product and collection pages (as well as created a separate internal linking section for all the informative pages).The goal was to make sure the link equity was effectively distributed among the articles. We collaborated with designers to ensure a visually engaging experience and used AI-generated images to create custom visuals. These unique images support product and informational content, making the site more appealing to users and showing its expertise in the field.
Loopex Digital’s SEO Team Secured High-Quality Backlinks Through Multiple Targeted Outreach Approaches
Our link building services for Arka focused on acquiring high-quality, niche-relevant backlinks from authoritative websites within the packaging, sustainable business, dropshipping, and branding industries. Our approach combined multiple link building strategies, including guest posting, SaaS-focused link building, and editorial placements within existing listicle and resource pages.
Through manual prospecting and outreach, our lin building team identified and secured placements on relevant industry publications and blogs, ensuring strong topical alignment with Arka’s core offerings in custom packaging solutions.
