HiBye, a Singapore ecommerce retailer, increased organic search traffic by 223% during a 4-month SEO engagement with Aemorph, from 325 Ahrefs-estimated monthly organic visits in November 2022 to 1,049 in March 2023. This is an early-stage, short-burst result from a low starting point. For a Singapore online store, organic visits earned through SEO (search engine optimisation) bring shoppers to product pages without paying per click.
In four months, organic visits a month went from 325 to more than three times that figure.

The Retailer's Search Position in Singapore Before the Engagement
HiBye's Singapore online store started the engagement in November 2022 at 325 Ahrefs-estimated monthly organic visits, the low base this page measures from.
Why does a new or growing Singapore ecommerce retailer see fast early gains from a verified product record?
When a Singapore store starts small, percentage growth comes quickly, because each extra visit adds more to a small base than to a large one. HiBye's 223% rise was measured on 325 monthly visits, so it is classed as a short-burst result rather than a sustained rate.
Singapore Online Shoppers Search on Google and Use AI at Work
Google held 92.16% of search engine market share in Singapore in September 2026, so a Singapore store's organic visibility depends mostly on how its pages rank in Google. DataReportal counts 5.78 million internet users in Singapore, 98.4% of the population, as of October 2025, and Ahrefs records 20 Singapore searches a month for "hibye".

What Aemorph Did for HiBye in Singapore
Between November 2022 and March 2023, in a 4-month SEO engagement, Aemorph recommended on-page changes for HiBye's service pages and built 12 backlinks every month. During the engagement, Aemorph:
- Recommended on-page changes for HiBye's service pages.
- Built 12 backlinks every month.
For a Singapore store whose pages are only beginning to rank, this two-part focus is the work behind HiBye's early result.
On any ecommerce site, Aemorph's method sits on three foundations built on a verified record, the facts your business supplies and approves: one checked record of the retailer, covering product range, categories and attributes; a catalogue arranged into structured category and product pages, so each product search lands on a matching listing; and product and category pages linked through internal links and structured data, so shoppers see the same details as they move between them.
What does a verified record include for a new Singapore ecommerce retailer?
A verified record for a new or growing Singapore online store contains structured product data, a category hierarchy and the attributes of each product. Structured product data makes the store's stated specifications explicit to Google and matches the visible page content.
The Results: A Fast Early-Stage Gain From a Low Base
HiBye drew 1,049 Ahrefs-estimated organic visits a month by March 2023. Longer case-study results are annualised to a twelve-month rate, but a 4-month gain from a low base is a short burst, so this page shows the raw figures only.
| Metric | Before | After | Period | Change | Annualised rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Organic traffic (Ahrefs-estimated visits/month) | 325 | 1,049 | Nov 2022 to Mar 2023, 4 months | +223% | Short burst, not annualised |

How is the annualised growth figure calculated?
To annualise, Aemorph divides the end value by the start value, raises the result to the power of twelve over the number of months, and subtracts one. HiBye's 4-month result is left unannualised, because projecting a short burst from a low base over a whole year overstates the pace a store keeps up, so the rate reads "Short burst, not annualised".
What This Result Demonstrates for Singapore Online Stores
Across four months, HiBye's estimated monthly organic visits rose from 325 to 1,049, a short-burst gain from a low base, not a rate that holds every year. In that period, Aemorph recommended on-page changes for HiBye's service pages and built 12 backlinks every month. Two dates are compared, so the figures do not show which part of the work caused the change. Aemorph's current programme, the LLM Influencer System, runs SEO, AEO and GEO (generative engine optimisation) together for Singapore stores, so the same product pages are built for Google rankings, Google's AI answers and citation in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity.
