OVERVIEW

DPF Parts Direct came to elk with the challenging goal of boosting eCommerce traffic and sales in an incredibly niche and high-ticket industry. Diesel particulate filters and parts are sought after by those already looking for them, meaning they almost always understand exactly what they’re after. And so, the challenge here was less about honing in on what had search volume and more about ranking consistently and across the board for these very competitive keywords.

With such an industry-specific product, DPF Parts Direct has become a trusted source for these parts and engines due to consistent supply of high-quality components. Understanding that they were already serving a specific market, they understood that the challenge was being the most accessible and consistent brand to rank when buyers were searching for products.
