How it earns its Google traffic
Corvid and Wildlife Art
The category page /crows captures the highest volume, earning over 400 monthly visits through keywords like "crow drawings" and "crow charcoal drawing." You should match this format by creating specific species-based category pages.
Gothic Subject Matter
A single product page for a skull drawing earns approximately 7 monthly visits via "skull charcoal drawing" searches. Since this is niche, evaluate if these dark themes align with your brand or leave them alone.
Art Commission Guides
The informational guide /post/how-to-commission... attracts roughly 5 monthly visits from users searching for "custom art commissions." You should cover this missing topic by creating instructional content to capture high-intent buyers.
