Project Overview

DryClean Filter sells specialized filtration products for commercial dry cleaning operations. The challenge wasn't product quality — it was online discoverability and clarity. A technical product in a niche market needs the right language and structure before the right customers can even find it.

Market Context

Commercial dry cleaning is a specialized, trust-sensitive market. Buyers — shop owners, facility managers, and procurement contacts — search in very specific ways. Korean-American operators represent a significant portion of the dry cleaning industry. When a site's language and SEO structure don't match how customers actually search, the business becomes invisible to the people most likely to buy.

Growth Leak

The site was written primarily in English using technical language that matched how the business described its own products — not how customers searched for them. Korean-speaking dry cleaning operators found no content in their language. English SEO was optimized for the business owner's terminology rather than actual customer search intent, reducing organic visibility with both audience groups.

Diagnosis

  • Homepage messaging led with product category names rather than customer problems
  • No Korean-language pages despite a substantial Korean-American customer base in the dry cleaning industry
  • SEO structure optimized around product terminology rather than customer search intent
  • Trust signals were sparse — limited credentials, no plain-language explanation of product value

What CUSTOMi Fixed

Rebuilt the site with a bilingual structure — Korean-language pages with native Korean URLs and content

Rewrote English SEO copy to target how customers search, not how the business describes its products

Added customer-situation messaging that explains product value in plain, accessible language

Strengthened credibility framing across both English and Korean content

Business Value

The restructured site created a clearer path for both English-speaking and Korean-speaking customers to find the product, understand why it matters, and decide to reach out. Search structure now supports both audiences instead of only one, reducing wasted visibility and expanding the addressable online audience.

What This Case Shows

A technical or niche product site loses both visibility and trust when it explains itself in the wrong language — literally and figuratively. CUSTOMi's bilingual diagnostic approach identifies both the SEO structure gap and the messaging gap before they compound into a larger conversion problem.
