VinylFrog: how the work runs on a real store

VinylFrog sells vinyl wraps, paint protection film, window tint, headlight and taillight tint, and wrap tools online. This is what we read, what we found, what we built and what is published, from the day the store was added on 4 August 2026, including the parts that are not finished.

Every count on this page comes from our working record for the store and is dated. It describes the work. It makes no traffic or revenue claims.

01

The starting point

We start by reading the store itself, not a brief about it. The catalogue told us what VinylFrog sells, grouped into six categories. Just as important, it told us what the store does not sell, because its own words keep drifting toward other products.

The blog was large: 293 posts. The question was not how much had been written but what it answered.

six categories, read from the store
  • Vinyl Wraps
  • Paint Protection Film
  • Window & Light Tints
  • Tools & Accessories
  • Specialty Vinyl Products
  • Featured & Promotions
does not sell
  • vinyl records
  • vinyl flooring
  • photographic film
  • smartphone screen protectors

Anything the store does not sell is kept out of every keyword, post idea and caption we write for it.

02

What we found

A big blog, pointed at the wrong questions. 199 of the 293 posts sat outside the formats buyers actually ask in, many of them model-by-model wrap pages. When the app listed the questions this catalogue raises, 73 of 74 had no post answering them.

Comparisons were the widest gap. Buyers deciding between two products are close to buying, and not one of the 33 comparison questions had a post.

That is the finding that shaped everything after it: the next posts to write are the questions, and the existing posts are rewritten so they answer early and specifically.

What we built

A search bank for each platform, built from the catalogue on the first afternoon: 274 terms for YouTube, 260 for TikTok and 263 for Pinterest, every one about a product the store sells.

A YouTube playlist plan: 68 playlists, most of them one per collection, plus four that cut across the catalogue, each with a target of 5, 8 or 12 videos depending on the search behind it.

An Instagram profile kit with the name field, bio and username written to Instagram’s limits, and 50 how-to post ideas to film against.

New alt text for 104 products, describing each product image in plain words, written on 13 September.

six of the 68 playlists
  • How-To & Installationcuts across the catalogue 12 videos
  • Problems, Symptoms & Fixescuts across the catalogue 12 videos
  • Comparisons & Which To Choosecuts across the catalogue 12 videos

Brand first, then the products, in 27 of the 30 characters Instagram allows.

04

What is published

46 existing posts rewritten between 1 and 19 September. Every rewrite follows the same rules: the answer first, the words a buyer uses, and what the product actually does rather than what the brand spec says.

Rewriting what already exists comes first. The pages are already there and already part of the site’s links, so improving them is faster than starting new ones.

What is still open

A case study that only lists what went right is an advert. This is the unfinished part, as of 19 September 2026.
