The Challenge

Starting in 2021, Montessori Generation entered one of the most competitive e-commerce markets imaginable: children’s educational toys in the USA. They faced Amazon, Etsy, and specialty retailers with over a decade of SEO equity and established customer bases.

The odds were stacked against them: low visibility on strategic keywords, disappointing organic search performance, and inadequate website traffic to sustain growth.
