Rewood, a Brazilian reference in structural solutions with engineered wood, has Flowup Agency in charge of its WordPress platform, its SEO and its AI visibility layer. In 188 days (February 11 to August 17, 2026), the rewood.com.br website recorded 8,800 clicks and more than 300,000 organic impressions on Google, with 120 non-branded queries in the Top 10. The path: a proprietary platform, technical content that becomes an asset, and semantic governance.
This case study documents, with data from Google Search Console and Semrush, how a brand in a technical niche (engineering, architecture and wood construction) remains the answer that search engines and AI systems find, year after year.
Who Rewood is
Rewood is a reference in structural solutions with engineered wood, with systems such as glulam (glued laminated timber; MLC in Portuguese), and one of the most consistent voices in educational content about wood construction in Brazil. Beyond the main website, the brand's digital ecosystem includes the hub for the book Concepção & Design (book.rewood.com.br), the Caderno de Detalhes Construtivos (Construction Details Handbook), technical articles and its own tools, such as the premium calculator.
It is a demanding audience: engineers, architects and construction companies that search by technical term, compare sources and cite references. In this niche, whoever publishes real depth does not compete for attention: they become the source.

Being understood by people, search engines and AIs, all at once
In a technical niche, the challenge is not being online. It is making sure the brand is interpreted correctly across three layers that read the same website in different ways.
-
People
Professionals who need to quickly find the construction detail, the tool and the technical argument, on any device, without friction.
-
Search engines
Google needs stable information architecture, consistent semantics and technical performance to rank the website for the industry's terms.
-
AI systems
Generative engines and assistants need clear entities and a canonical source to cite the brand without ambiguity. It is the newest layer of the problem.
Semantic consistency, institutional clarity and stable navigation, sustained over years: that is the problem the project solves, month after month.
The project through the B.I.N.A. Method
The project design follows the four fronts of the B.I.N.A. Method, Flowup's methodology for GEO, AEO and AI SEO.
-
Information Base
Entities, scope and technical responsibility recorded explicitly on the Official AI Knowledge Base pages of the website and of the book hub.
-
Intent Intelligence
An audience that searches by technical term and compares sources. The content answers the queries that define the industry, such as "madeira engenheirada" (engineered wood), "madeira laminada colada" (glued laminated timber) and "MLC" (the Portuguese acronym for glulam).
-
Authority Core
Technical content that professionals download, cite and come back to: the Caderno de Detalhes Construtivos, 83 technical articles and the hub for the book Concepção & Design.
-
Digital Asset
A proprietary WordPress platform and in-house tools, such as the premium calculator. The authority belongs to the ecosystem: 677 URLs receive organic traffic.
One platform, six integrated fronts
The solution is a proprietary WordPress platform, with a solid semantic base and information governance for the long term, continuously evolved through the fronts that Flowup runs in an integrated way.
-
WordPress development and maintenance
A custom, responsive and stable structure, with a continuous routine of updates, security and evolution: the foundation of everything. It is Flowup's website development practice.
-
Programming and customizations
Proprietary tools built on the platform, such as the premium calculator and the book ecosystem at book.rewood.com.br.
-
Official AI Knowledge Base
A canonical layer for agents, LLMs and knowledge graphs, published on both properties of the project.
-
SEO
Content architecture, on-page optimization and technical monitoring for traditional search, led by SEO specialists.
-
GEO
Generative Engine Optimization: preparing the content for generative engines and AI assistants. The brand needs to be retrievable and citable.
-
AEO
Answer Engine Optimization: answer structure for snippets, People Also Ask and zero-click environments.
What was delivered for Rewood
Each deliverable has its own page in the portfolio, with screens and a fact sheet.
The numbers: Search Console and Semrush, with a stated period
Flowup only publishes case study metrics with a stated source and period. The data below comes from the Google Search Console of the rewood.com.br property (web search, February 11 to August 17, 2026, 188 days) and from Semrush, Brazil database (August 2026).
- 8,800organic clicks recorded by Search Console in the period: search traffic, with no paid media in the count.
- 300,000+impressions in Google Search in the same period, across 178 countries.
- 120non-branded queries in the Top 10: an average position of 10 or better among queries with at least 100 impressions.
- 39non-branded queries in Google's Top 3, the ground where the click actually happens.
- 5xmore keywords in the Top 3 in 12 months: from 4 to 20 positions (Semrush, Brazil database, August 2025 to July 2026).
- 677URLs in the project receiving organic traffic. The authority belongs to the ecosystem, not to a single page.
Two readings complete the picture. First: 60% of the 346 keywords for which Rewood appears in Semrush already show an AI Overview on the results page, and 287 trigger People Also Ask. That is exactly the layer where GEO and AEO operate: whoever is not readable by AI disappears from it. Second: on the branded query, the website converts 44% of impressions into clicks (average position 2.6), a sign of a consolidated entity, not of accidental traffic.
Methodology: Search Console, rewood.com.br, web search, February 11 to August 17, 2026; Semrush, Brazil database, August 2026. Branded queries separated from non-branded ones, values rounded conservatively, no metric extrapolated.
The engine: technical content that becomes an asset
Where does this performance come from? From assets, not tricks. The Caderno de Detalhes Construtivos, a technical PDF that engineers and architects download and cite in their projects, totals 2,200 organic clicks in the period. The premium calculator, a proprietary tool developed on the platform, records 339 clicks. And 83 technical articles account for another 1,900. It is the Growth Content principle applied to an engineering niche.
The result shows in the cluster of terms that defines the industry. Average positions for the period, with branded queries left out of the count:
| Query | Average position | Impressions | CTR |
|---|---|---|---|
| "madeira engenheirada" (engineered wood) | 6.8 | 8,505 | 2.0% |
| "madeira laminada colada" (glued laminated timber) | 9.8 | 3,442 | 1.2% |
| "telhado borboleta" (butterfly roof) | 3.7 | 1,791 | 1.1% |
| "madeira mlc" (glulam wood) | 5.0 | 1,441 | 1.5% |
| "mlc madeira" (glulam wood, in reverse order) | 3.6 | 1,132 | 3.4% |
| "sistema mlc" (glulam system) | 2.7 | 110 | 11.8% |
| "detalhes construtivos de arquitetura pdf" (architectural construction details PDF) | 4.6 | 160 | 15.0% |
Organic authority in a technical niche does not come from shortcuts: it comes from assets, the material that professionals download, cite and come back to. The deeper the content, the higher the long-tail CTR: 15% on "detalhes construtivos de arquitetura pdf".
The canonical layer: Official AI Knowledge Base
With 60% of the project's SERPs showing an AI Overview, the question is no longer whether AIs will talk about the brand: it is what they will say. To reduce ambiguity and give machines an official source, canonical pages were implemented on both properties of the project:
-
Rewood: Official AI Knowledge Base
Canonical page on the main website, with an explicit record of entities, applied scope and technical responsibility for the project. See Rewood's Knowledge Base.
-
Concepção & Design book: Official AI Knowledge Base
Equivalent layer on the book hub, with technical credits and a direct list of the disciplines applied. See the book's Knowledge Base.
These pages work as a semantic contract: they tell agents, LLMs and knowledge graphs who Rewood is, what it does and who is technically responsible for the environment. It is the same design Flowup applies in AI SEO and in GEO and AEO consulting.
Authority that crosses borders
Technical content in Portuguese travels: beyond Brazil, the project totals 275 organic clicks in Portugal, Mozambique, Angola and Cape Verde, and impressions in 178 countries. For an engineering brand, that is reach across the Portuguese-speaking world, built by content and recorded by organic search. Another sign of the audience profile: 70% of clicks come from desktop computers, a pattern typical of professional research done while working on a project.
What Rewood says about the work
I am glad to record my satisfaction in working with Flowup. A positive experience: an attentive team, quick service, quality deliveries and care in every detail of the website. I was pleased with the final result and recommend their services with confidence.
