Superbalist achieved a 236% revenue jump with Infidigit’s 2019 Black Friday SEO strategy

The Client

Superbalist stands as one of South Africa’s leading online fashion destinations, renowned for offering premium-quality products. With a diverse catalog featuring over 30,000 items from 400 brands across 30 categories, Superbalist caters to a wide audience—embracing all sizes, styles, age groups, and budgets. This inclusive approach, paired with top-notch service, has made the brand one of the most accessible and trusted fashion platforms in the country.

The Objective

Heading into Black Friday 2019, Superbalist aimed to outperform its 2018 results through a stronger organic search presence. The campaign was built around three key goals:

  • Double the number of organic sessions
  • Double organic revenue
  • Secure a top-three ranking in Google search results for the term “Black Friday”

The Challenge

Black Friday is one of the most competitive shopping events worldwide, drawing intense attention from both brands and consumers. Ranking organically for a high-volume keyword like “Black Friday” poses a significant challenge, especially with so many companies vying for top spots in search results.

The Solution

To help Superbalist maximize visibility during the Black Friday campaign, Infidigit set out to dominate Google’s first page through strategic organic search efforts. The primary goal wasn’t just to achieve a high ranking, but to secure the coveted Featured Snippet position. These snippets sit above standard organic results and capture prime real estate on the SERP, making them a critical driver of click-through rates (CTR).

Our campaign centered around several key strategies:

Content Gap Analysis
We began by performing a comprehensive content gap analysis to identify missed opportunities on the website. From there, we developed new content tailored for both users and search engines. The focus was on long-tail keywords and delivering quality, value-driven content that aligned with search intent.

Using advanced SEO tools, we benchmarked Superbalist’s content against top-performing competitors to determine the ideal keyword frequency and structure. We also identified a common gap many brands overlook: the lack of rich snippet optimization. Our content strategy addressed this by making the content more research-focused and suitable for Featured Snippet placement.

We targeted search queries like “How do I prepare for Black Friday?” and “What is Superbalist doing for Black Friday?”—questions that reflect research intent. These were integrated into the Black Friday landing page alongside an FAQ schema, which helped push competitors further down the page and significantly boosted CTR.

Rich Media Integration

  • Infographics:
    We created a visual step-by-step Black Friday prep guide, which not only helped users but also increased the likelihood of being featured in Google’s visual SERP elements.
  • Video Content:
    We embedded influencer-led videos on the page, adding content diversity. This signaled to Google that the page was rich and engaging, improving its visibility.
  • Featured Snippet Optimization:
    Our team implemented thoroughly tested snippet-friendly code structures across key content sections. This maximized the chances of being featured in snippet positions on the results page.

Smart URL Targeting
To ensure Google recognized the Black Friday page as a key destination, two technical goals were prioritized: increasing internal linking and improving crawl frequency.

We strategically placed the “Black Friday” anchor text in the site header—visible across more than 300k pages. This tactic created a dense internal link network and ensured the page was consistently crawled, signaling its importance within the site’s structure.

The Result

Infidigit not only achieved the original campaign goals but also set a new industry benchmark for Black Friday performance within South Africa’s fashion e-commerce space.

  • #1 Search Ranking:
    Superbalist held the top organic position on both desktop and mobile throughout the entire Black Friday week. (In fact, our SEO implementations also contributed to BlackFriday.com ranking highly.)
  • 415% Increase in Organic Sessions:
    Traffic to Black Friday landing pages grew by more than 4x compared to 2018, driven purely through organic search.
  • 236% Growth in Revenue:
    Revenue generated through Black Friday pages saw a substantial increase over the previous year, confirming the strategy’s success.
  • Exceptional ROI from SEO:
    Prior to this campaign, paid search (PPC) was the primary driver of traffic, delivering a modest ROI of 2. In contrast, the SEO campaign generated an ROI of 240—a 116x improvement, or an astounding 11,683% increase.
