About Mannington Commercial
Mannington Commercial is a leading provider of commercial flooring solutions, serving architects, designers, and facility managers across the United States. With a product portfolio spanning luxury vinyl tile, broadloom carpet, rubber flooring, and hardwood, Mannington has built a reputation for quality and innovation in the commercial flooring space over decades of operation. When they engaged DiamondLinks in April 2021, they had a strong brand presence offline but recognized a significant opportunity to strengthen their organic search performance.
The Challenge
Despite being a well-established brand in the commercial flooring industry, Mannington Commercial faced a common challenge among manufacturers: their online visibility did not reflect the strength of their market position. Organic keyword rankings had plateaued, and organic traffic had settled around 11,800 monthly visits — respectable, but far below the potential for a company of their caliber and product breadth.

Unique linking websites
The commercial flooring market is intensely competitive online. Major competitors were aggressively investing in content marketing, backlink acquisition, and technical SEO. Mannington needed a comprehensive strategy that would not only close the gap but establish a sustainable competitive advantage in organic search. In an industry where architects and specifiers increasingly begin their product research online, ranking visibility was not just a marketing metric — it was a direct pipeline to new business.
Strategy & Execution
Four Pillars of Growth
We built a multi-layered SEO strategy tailored to Mannington Commercial's competitive landscape in commercial flooring, with four interconnected pillars creating compounding momentum.
Keyword Optimization & Competitor Analysis
Thorough competitive analysis mapping Mannington's keyword footprint against top competitors in the commercial flooring space. We identified clusters of high-intent keywords around product categories, installation specifications, and industry applications that represented untapped demand.
On-Page SEO & Content Enhancement
Comprehensive content audits improving title tags, meta descriptions, header structures, and internal linking. Product pages enhanced with richer content addressing architects' and specifiers' questions — performance specifications, installation requirements, sustainability certifications, and application guidance.
Backlink Improvement & Authority Building
Strategic link acquisition from high-authority domains in architecture, design, construction, and sustainability verticals. Natural anchor text distribution with every link earned from contextually relevant sources, growing backlinks from 42,500 to 68,000 and referring domains from 500 to 1,400.
Technical SEO & Site Performance
Thorough technical audits addressing page load times, image delivery optimization, mobile responsiveness, and crawl error resolution. These foundational improvements ensured search engines could fully index Mannington's product catalog, amplifying the impact of content and link-building efforts.

Before & After
Key Takeaway
“The 180% growth in referring domains was not the result of shortcuts or mass outreach — it was earned through relevant, authoritative links in the architecture, design, and construction ecosystem.”
The Mannington Commercial campaign demonstrates what happens when a strong brand is paired with a disciplined, data-driven SEO strategy. Mannington already had the products, the reputation, and the industry credibility. What they needed was a partner who could translate that offline authority into organic search visibility.
By combining competitor-informed keyword targeting, substantive content improvements, strategic authority building through high-quality backlinks, and foundational technical optimizations, DiamondLinks helped Mannington Commercial capture significantly more of the organic search demand in their market. The 47% increase in organic traffic translated to approximately 5,500 additional qualified visitors per month — architects, designers, and facility managers actively researching commercial flooring solutions.
For manufacturers and B2B companies operating in competitive verticals, this case study reinforces a fundamental truth: SEO is not a one-time project. It is an ongoing investment in visibility that compounds over time. The gains Mannington achieved were not the result of a single tactic or a quick fix. They were the product of consistent, strategic execution across every dimension of search optimization.
