Retail Digital Stabilization

Securing digital assets and reversing reputation damage for a legacy jeweler through infrastructure hardening and automated review management.

Retail Digital Stabilization

A prominent local jeweler faced a digital crisis: critical web assets were unmanaged, the Google Business Profile was flooded with competitor spam, and the business lacked the internal resources to maintain a complex website. We executed an operational takeover to secure the infrastructure, sanitize the brand's reputation, and implement a lean, social-first content strategy.

Vulnerable infrastructure and high administrative overhead.

The client had lost administrative control over their primary .com domain and lacked a backup strategy. Additionally, they were struggling to maintain an outdated website catalog with no dedicated staff. Concurrently, their local search authority was being eroded by fake spam reviews, with no process to generate authentic feedback.

Technology operationalization

We migrated the operation to a secure Microsoft 365 environment for business governance and restored domain sovereignty. A robust analytics stack (GA4 & Meta Business Suite) was deployed to track engagement, while the merchandise workflow was re-routed strictly to social media to eliminate website maintenance.

Engineering a low-maintenance digital fortress

We moved the client to a 'Social-First' operational model. Recognizing the store lacked staff to update a website catalog, we offloaded all product showcasing to Instagram and Facebook. The website was re-engineered as a static, high-speed 'Trust Anchor' focused purely on Local SEO and contact info, requiring zero daily maintenance. We simultaneously deployed custom in-store QR stands to flood the Google profile with authentic reviews, burying competitor spam.

Addressing global business imperatives

The intervention reduced operational overhead by 100% by removing the need for website catalog management. The reputation strategy successfully purged spam and established a consistent flow of positive customer sentiment, while M365 secured business continuity.
