GQ Mobiles
Case Study · Sri Lanka

A 10,000-product store with zero online reach.

GQ Mobiles is Sri Lanka's leading consumer electronics retailer — smartphones, wearables, audio, cameras, gaming accessories — across every major brand from Apple to Xiaomi.

They had a physical store doing real business. They had a website. But the website wasn't doing anything. No traffic, no visibility, no sales. Customers were walking in or calling — the internet might as well not have existed.

The Problem

Every electronics purchase starts with the same search.

"iPhone 16 Pro Max price in Sri Lanka"
"JBL Charge 6 price in Sri Lanka"
"Galaxy Watch 7 price in Sri Lanka"

Thousands of these queries, every single day. GQ Mobiles didn't show up for any of them.

Their competitors owned the conversation. GQ Mobiles was locked out of the largest buyer channel in the country.

What Changed

We built them a platform. Then we grew it.

The goal was never just "a new website." It was to open the gate — to position GQ Mobiles directly in front of every buyer searching for electronics in Sri Lanka.

Weeks 1–8

Built a platform from scratch

Research, design, architecture, development, and launch. A complete headless e-commerce platform live in two months.

Day 1 live

Auto-generated pages at scale

Every product in the catalog got a fast, optimized, search-ready page automatically. 10,000+ SKUs, zero manual work per page.

Month 3+

Programmatic SEO at scale

When a new phone drops, GQ Mobiles has a page ranking before most competitors have updated their inventory.

The result: A system that doesn't just serve today's catalog — it's designed to capture tomorrow's demand the moment it appears. When a new product launches, GQ Mobiles is ready.

Growth Curve

Google Search Console · Dec 2024 → Mar 2026

All data sourced from Google Search Console — unedited.
Google Search Console performance graph showing GQ Mobiles growth from Dec 2024 to Mar 2026

A flatline through early 2025. Then a steep, sustained climb that hasn't stopped. Every spike is a new product launch or seasonal surge that the platform captured automatically.

Revenue Growth

From pre-launch to current run rate. Online went from an afterthought to a primary revenue channel.

52K+

Brand Search Clicks

Clicks on “gq mobile” and “gq mobiles” — organic brand equity that didn’t exist before the platform launched.

2+ yrs

Active Partnership

Still growing. Still shipping. Every spike in the chart is a product launch the platform captured automatically.

How We Work

This wasn't a one-time project.

It's a 2+ year partnership and counting. Two distinct phases — build, then grow.

Phase 1 · Weeks 1–8

Build

Research, design, architecture, development, and launch. A complete platform built and live in two months.

  • Market research & competitive analysis
  • UX/UI design for the new platform
  • Headless architecture & tech stack planning
  • Frontend & backend development
  • QA, performance testing, and launch
Phase 2 · Months 3–24+

Grow

The real work. Programmatic SEO at scale, continuous optimization. The growth curve is the result of sustained, compounding effort — not a single launch event.

  • Programmatic SEO at scale
  • Core Web Vitals monitoring & optimization
  • New product category launches
  • Conversion rate improvements
  • Continuous technical SEO refinements

We're still actively working with GQ Mobiles today. This is an ongoing, compounding partnership.
