The challenge

GroupM Turkey managed SEO for IKEA Türkiye through a large-scale site migration spanning roughly 50,000 pages. The site had leaned on brand search terms, leaving non-branded, furniture-related demand underexploited while the migration introduced technical risk.

The solution

GroupM used Ahrefs for technical Site Audits, keyword research, and custom reporting to find non-branded opportunities in the home and furniture niche and to monitor the site's technical health throughout the migration.

Ahrefs is an indispensable tool for any SEO director. What truly sets Ahrefs apart is its unwavering commitment to providing accurate and up-to-date data.
