SEO Campaign
My client company is a start-up with a low domain authority – 7
Considering this, I understood that ranking for specific keywords would be improbable.
Goal
Their goal was simple – To increase organic traffic and online presence. They needed their customers and purchasers to find them online
Tools I Used
- Google Search Console
- Google Analytics
- Google Trends
- WordPress
- SEMrush
- Ahrefs
- Keyword Everywhere
Process
STAGE 1: Technical SEO & Site Architecture
- Created and submitted a .xml sitemap to Google
- Bargained for a change in website architecture to create more pages so each page could have its own keyword. And also for a seamless user experience.
- Found and fixed broken pages (error 404 pages)
STAGE 2: Keyword & Competitor Research
- Researched for keywords that had medium-high search volume and a low keyword difficulty using tools like Ahrefs, Semrush, Keyword Everywhere and Google itself
- Used Semrush to conduct competitor keyword analysis to discover more potential keywords they could rank for
- Used Google Trends to identify keywords that would rank sooner than later in order to create content that would start ranking immediately
STAGE 3: On-page optimization
- Optimized every page on WordPress, from the home page to blogs and most importantly the services page
- Optimized every page using the rank math plugin on WordPress. This optimization involved optimizing: the title tag, URL, meta tags, alt tags, using H1 – H6 tags.
- Created a seamless internal linking strategy for equal link juice distribution and user experience.
STAGE 4: Content Management
- Managed an in-house team of writers to boost productivity
- Created a monthly content calendar containing blogs with long-tail keywords that had the potential to rank
- Conducted a competitor blog check to see how best to create content that outranked them. In most cases, I opted for longer content and more images.
- Published content weekly to let Google know that the website was of good authority and to keep them relevant.
STAGE 5: Track & Measure Analytics
- Created a Google Search Console and Google Analytics account for site audits and metrics tracking
- Tracked keywords they started ranking for using GSC and created more content around them
- Used Google Analytics to view the behaviour of our audience, view what pages they clicked out from and understand why
STAGE 6: Re-strategize
- After analyzing the results from the previous stage, I checked my strategy and adjusted where necessary.
6 months before my SEO services, they had a total of 269 organic clicks and 11.2k impressions.
6 months after working with me, their organic clicks increased to 1.11k and 265k impressions with $0 on paid ads
That’s an increase of 841 organic clicks and over 200k impressions.
