Background
Molossos Wear and Wieldex started their partnership in February 2022, after three agencies had failed to move the brand's online sales. Customers in its stores already trusted the brand for durability, product knowledge and support; the e-shop did not carry that trust online.
The store was well designed but hard to find in search, and it gave customers no reason to return after a first order. The first brief was explicit: grow online sales by 20% within six months.

Approach
The first months went into foundations: metadata, meta descriptions and the technical SEO problems that kept the store out of search. Navigation was rebuilt around how customers actually shop — Workwear and Casual — with gender moved into a filter.
The process was slow by design. In year one online sales ran about 20% above the months before the engagement; the larger gains came once these foundations were in place.
Built Around Customer Experience
Every decision served the same goal: a digital experience customers trust as much as the in-store one.
Every week, Wieldex spoke with staff in the physical stores about what customers asked for, hesitated over and returned for, and with management about the business goals behind each decision. That field input shaped the photography, the product information and SEO.
Our Process
Commercial Photography
In November 2022 and April 2023, Wieldex directed commercial shoots that took workwear out of the catalogue and into everyday settings — coffee shops, the seaside, modern industrial concepts — replacing supplier imagery with photography built around the brand positioning.
Email and SMS Marketing
Email and Viber campaigns were planned around monthly business goals and customers' previous behavior, balancing product education with the brand's purpose and reusing the shoots in every send. Viber campaigns reached the existing customer base with click-through rates of 5–8%.
Search Engine Optimization
On-page SEO was rebuilt from competitive and keyword research, with buyer guides answering the questions people search before buying safety footwear and workwear, and monthly reporting to track it.
The store's average position in Google moved from 15.9 to 8.7 between April–June 2023 and April–June 2024. Organic clicks in April–June rose more than sixfold from 2022 to 2023 and doubled again in 2024.
Three Years, Three Phases
Online sales doubled by year two and held through year three

Foundations
Online sales about 20% above the months before.
The step change
Online sales +66%, orders +46%, average order value +14% on year one.
Holding the gains
Sales level with the same months of 2023, with 6% fewer orders and a 7% higher average order value.
Measured Impact
March–October 2022 compared with March–October 2024, from the e-shop's own order records. Over the same period the business crossed from six to seven figures in annual turnover.
Conversion Rate Optimization
Conversion work centred on product data and descriptions: the standards, materials and fit details that buyers of safety equipment need before they commit, alongside seasonal campaigns such as Black Friday. SEO, CRO, email and SMS ran as one connected programme rather than separate services.
Average order value +21%. In the final eight months, revenue held at its new level with 6% fewer orders, because each order was worth more.
