Our team immediately audited the site to identify the technical issues that would provide the most substantive improvements when fixed. Although this 60+ page document dissected dozens of technical issues with the site, we honed in on the handful of issues that were actually worth fixing, meaning that the SEO benefits would outweigh the development costs. This allowed the client to avoid allocating resources for unnecessary tasks that would not improve their organic traffic or revenue.
In parallel with these technical fixes, we conducted a deep dive into the keyword landscape of their industry, evaluating their Analytics data, Google Search Console data, and competitors’ keywords to devise a keyword-targeting strategy that would help them identify and capitalize on under-optimized keyword groups. We used this strategy to develop a content creation plan that improved their rankings for keywords they were already ranking for, and helped them rank for thousands of new keywords.
