# Executive summary

## The opportunity

ADVMFR has 30+ years of heritage, 400+ craftspeople, 3M pieces/year and RJC certification — but the current `advmfr.com` captures only a fraction of the qualified B2B traffic available. After analysing 8 169 keywords from your search history and 254 keywords scored on Mangools, the picture is clear:

- The **B2B fine-jewellery sourcing market** has between **64 000 and 120 000 monthly searches** that genuinely match your offer (wholesale, OEM, ODM, private label, custom manufacturer, by-category, by-process).
- The **UK SERP is structurally under-competitive** vs the US on most of these queries — for `custom jewellery manufacturer` the difficulty is **KD 15 (UK) vs KD 41 (US) at identical volume**. That is the entry door.
- Your existing site is **functionally correct but SEO-thin**: titles built around brand only, no intent split between pages, no editorial layer, missing schema, missing strategic pages (no wholesale page, no OEM page, no category hub, no blog).

## What we propose

A full rewrite of the website information architecture, not just a content refresh.

| Layer | What | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate pages (rewritten) | home, about-us, design-development, production-process, sustainability, gallery, news-events, contact-us | 8 |
| New strategic pages | wholesale-suppliers, oem-jewellery-manufacturer, categories hub | 3 |
| Process sub-pages | lost-wax-casting, jewellery-plating, jewellery-polishing | 3 |
| Category sub-pages | rings, earrings, bracelets, chains | 4 |
| Editorial articles | sourcing B2B (8) + process (12) + trends (7) + sustainability (8) | ~35 |
| **Total** | | **20 pages + ~35 articles** |

Built on a **hub-and-spoke architecture** with strict vocabulary-boundary rules so no two pages compete for the same query.

## The one strategic call

**UK English everywhere.** `jewellery`, `colour`, `centre`. This is the single highest-leverage decision in the plan. It matches your existing site, your audience (UK, EU, Asia, India, Australia), and the SERP arbitrage.

## Roadmap at a glance

| Phase | Months | Scope | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Phase 1 — Foundation** | M1–M3 | Rewrite 8 corporate pages + launch wholesale + OEM pages + contact schema | Stop the bleeding, install the architecture |
| **Phase 2 — Expansion** | M3–M6 | 3 process sub-pages + 4 category sub-pages | Capture mid-funnel and category-specific traffic |
| **Phase 3 — Authority** | M4–M12 | 35 editorial articles, 4 clusters | Build topical authority, capture top-of-funnel, AI Overview presence |

## Top 3 quick wins to validate the strategy

1. **`/production-process/jewellery-polishing/`** — KD 18, vol 1 200, no sub-page exists. Highest KD-to-volume ratio in the dataset.
2. **`/production-process/jewellery-plating/`** — KD 19, vol 990, **growth +127% over 12 months**. The market is moving toward this query — be there first.
3. **`/blog/demi-fine-jewellery/`** — KD 5. Pillar article for the emerging demi-fine category. Costs one article, signals authority on a category in growth.

## Top 3 risks we are actively mitigating

1. **Cluster manufacturer in decline** (−57% to −90% over 12 months). Mitigation: diversify via blog + categories + ESG.
2. **KD asymmetry UK/US uncertain on Mangools**. Mitigation: manual SERP audit on Google.co.uk before publishing the two critical pages.
3. **AI Overview expanding on commercial SERPs**. Mitigation: structured content, FAQ schema, citable formats.

## What we need from ADVMFR

Six concrete inputs to unlock writing — see `05-decisions-and-brainstorming.md` §1. The most blocking:
- Validate UK English systematic.
- Provide actual MOQ ranges and lead times (we have placeholders).
- Confirm the `trends-2027` publish deadline (15 September 2026).

## Investment shape (effort, not money)

- Phase 1 = ~10 pages, ~2–3 months of design + writing + dev.
- Phase 2 = ~7 sub-pages, ~3 months in parallel.
- Phase 3 = ~35 articles, ~9 months at 1 article/week average + 1 yearly trends refresh (~45h/year).

## Expected outcome (12 months)

- **Phase 1 (M3)** — clean baseline, schema in place, ~5–10 keywords ranking on page 1.
- **Phase 2 (M6)** — 3 process sub-pages on page 1 for `jewellery polishing`, `jewellery electroplating`, `lost wax casting for jewelry` (KD 18–23).
- **Phase 3 (M12)** — topical authority on B2B sourcing + RJC/sustainability clusters; presence in AI Overview on at least 3 commercial intents.

Long-tail B2B conversion matters more than raw sessions: **1 qualified OEM lead = 5–6 figures of project value**. We are optimising for leads, not for traffic vanity metrics.
