Fewer URLs, More Revenue: Content Pruning Consolidation That Works
Since 2005, Ive helped teams in Riga, Daugavpils, and across the EU turn bloated sites into focused, high-converting properties. The most reliable wins often come not from publishing more, but from removing and merging what doesnt pull its weight.
What I Do
On-site SEO: full content audit, cannibalization mapping, redirects/canonicals, internal linking, Core Web Vitals.
Off-site SEO: relevant, risk-free mentions that reinforce primary topics.
Consulting enablement: clear de-index/merge playbooks so in-house teams move fast.
90-Day Pruning Plan
Weeks 12 Inventory rules: export all URLs with traffic, impressions, backlinks, conversions; set rules for keep / merge / noindex / remove.
Weeks 36 Consolidation: merge clusters of near-duplicates into topic hubs; implement redirects + canonicals; rewrite the money hub with FAQs and proof.
Weeks 710 Technical UX: fix orphaned links, update sitemaps, compress media, tune LCP/CLS on consolidated templates.
Weeks 1113 Relevance trust: add localized reviews (LV/EN/DE), clarify delivery/returns for Riga and EU, and tighten internal anchors.
E-E-A-T Proof (Hard Evidence)
Local services (Riga): +42% organic conversions in 70 days after consolidating 14 thin posts into 3 service hubs; average position improved 18 7 on core terms.
E-commerce (LV EU): -37% indexed low-value URLs, +24% category traffic, +17% SEO revenue after merging 9 overlapping categories and pruning 120 zero-click products.
B2B (Baltic HQ): 2.4 clicks on vs/alternative queries by replacing seven fragmented posts with one definitive comparison and redirecting the rest.
Local Signals That Convert
Prominent Riga pick-up / EU delivery notes, LV/EN/DE language toggles, VAT/returns clarity, and support hours aligned to Europe/Riga. These reduce friction for Latvian buyers and EU stakeholders alike.
