Sockrates Custom Socks

Sockrates is a custom sock manufacturer trusted by some of the world’s biggest brands. They make custom socks for Google, Dell, eBay, Disney, Coca-Cola and more.

 

But they had a problem. Search couldn’t find them online.

The Client

The Challenge What they Needed

Sockrates had a client list most brands would envy. Google, Dell, eBay, Disney, and more. What they didn’t have was the search visibility to match. Four things stood in the way:

Nearly invisible in search

Just 772 ranked keywords, and only 11 in Google’s top 3, despite a world-class client roster.

Outranked by competitors

Rival sock companies had 5 to 6x their keyword footprint. This was a key objective to address.

A site that held them back

Over 300 technical errors and slow loading times were dragging performance down.

No content or authority engine

Few articles, a thin backlink profile, and no international presence.

They didn't need a bigger name.
They needed the world to find them.

What We Did

We mapped how Sockrates customers make decisions, activated every touchpoint that mattered, and sharpened each one with data over time.
