Metro Shoes: 7x Growth from AI Platforms with Infidigit’s LLM SEO Strategy

The Client

Metro Shoes is one of India’s most established fashion and lifestyle retail brands with a legacy of premium craftsmanship and nationwide presence. Recognised for its curated selection of footwear and accessories for men, women, and kids, the brand caters to diverse fashion preferences through a combination of timeless elegance and modern trends. With its wide distribution network and strong customer loyalty, Metro Shoes holds a dominant position in India’s organised footwear retail market.

The Objective

Metro Shoes wanted to strengthen its visibility on AI-driven search platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot. The goal was to ensure that when users asked AI tools for footwear suggestions, styling advice, or buying recommendations, Metro Shoes would be mentioned more often.

The Challenge

Infidigit’s audit uncovered several areas that limited Metro Shoes’ ability to surface within AI responses:

1. Insufficient AI-Optimized Content Structure

Existing content lacked the semantic depth and clarity LLMs need to confidently reference brand information.

2. Gaps in Schema Consistency

Product, WebPage, and FAQ schema were partially implemented, preventing AI systems from understanding product taxonomy and contextual relationships.

3. Missing Coverage for AI-First Questions

AI platforms increasingly prioritize natural-language queries such as
“Which shoes work best for office wear?” or
“Top sandals for long walking hours.”
Metro Shoes’ pages did not fully address these conversational intents.

4. Limited Direct Answers for AI Summaries

AI tools often extract crisp, factual responses. Metro’s pages lacked concise insights that LLMs could lift as authoritative statements.

5. Lack of AI-Optimised FAQ’s

High-intent FAQs were not organized in a way that AI systems could directly use.

6. Weak Interconnections Between Key Content Pieces

Internal linking between style guides, category pages, and buying advice was sparse, limiting semantic clarity for AI crawlers.

The Solution

Infidigit implemented a tailored LLM SEO strategy built specifically for Metro Shoes’ content ecosystem and user search behavior trends.

1. AI-Readable Content Restructuring

Category and blog pages were improved with richer product features, usage scenarios, styling clarity, and material explanations—making the content more interpretable for generative models.

2. Comprehensive Schema Reinforcement

Structured data was expanded across Product, Breadcrumb, FAQ, and WebPage layers to help AI systems clearly understand hierarchy, product attributes, and contextual cues.

3. Deep Optimization for Conversational Queries

Content was aligned with how real users phrase queries in AI tools—from occasion-based footwear to comfort-focused and trend-driven recommendations.

4. Creation of Extractable Insights

Short, authoritative “answer-ready” statements were added to high-impact pages to support AI platforms in generating summaries where Metro Shoes could appear.

5. Development of High-Intent FAQs

Question-based sections were built across key categories and top-performing blogs to match LLM response formats.

6. Semantic Internal Linking Framework

A structured linking model connected buying guides, style tips, category pages, and relevant product clusters, strengthening AI comprehension and topic relationships.

The Result

After the implementation of Infidigit’s LLM-oriented SEO system, Metro Shoes experienced outstanding traction from AI-based discovery channels.
