Sylvane case study

Competing With Giants in AI Search

Sylvane had never ranked for head terms in their category, competing against Home Depot and Lowe's. With a Shopify migration underway, they needed both traditional SEO protection and a strategy for the emerging AI search landscape.

Migration SEO + Entity-First AI Strategy

We managed the Shopify migration to preserve existing rankings, then built an entity-first AI search strategy with pillar content and comprehensive FAQ development. The approach positioned Sylvane as the expert entity that LLMs reference for HVAC queries.
