Residence Collection is a premium door brand, known across the fenestration industry for its timber alternative window and doors. Sold through a nationwide network of installers, the brand also markets directly to homeowners through its own B2C website, encouraging shoppers to seek out Residence products by name before they ever speak to a fitter.

A new site with an old problem–

Residence Collection had recently relaunched its website and needed to migrate a huge volume of legacy blog content across from three separate sites into one. Getting that migration right, without losing the SEO value already built up, was the first challenge.

The bigger challenge sat underneath it. Despite being an industry leader, Residence Collection wasn’t being found for key terms like timber alternative or wood effect doors, the exact language homeowners use when they’re comparing premium options. As a premium brand, the goal wasn’t just more traffic but the right traffic: shoppers willing to pay for quality rather than searchers looking for the cheapest option. That meant carefully separating B2C homeowner searches from B2B traffic aimed at installers and architects, who have their own dedicated site to visit.

There was also a brand visibility issue. Residence is a common brand name, and the company faced constant competition in the search results from installers and fabricators trying to rank for it too. Whenever someone searched for Residence, the brand needed to be the first result they found, not a third-party fitter.

A long-term content strategy—

Over several years we followed a consistent process: optimising existing pages, streamlining the migrated blog content and building new content designed to close the gaps we’d identified.

We thought carefully about the different routes a homeowner takes when researching a new door, whether they start with style, colour or finding a local installer, and built high-quality content hubs that addressed each of these journeys directly.

Longer tail, more informational queries were tackled through lifestyle content. This wasn’t just about traffic. It was about building brand awareness and positioning Residence Collection as a genuine knowledge source in the fenestration space, the kind of content other sites want to link to.
