3.Implemented processes and actions

Content optimization and strategy development

After the priorities for the successful development of the project were identified, we moved to the main work on search engine optimization.

The work on content was divided into several stages:

  • creation of content for categories;
  • creation of text for product cards;
  • creation of help articles to assist customers;
  • writing reviews;
  • work with information and news material;
  • creation and distribution of promotional articles on special trust websites.

Our work with backlinks was limited by the client’s available budget. We aimed to raise low and mid-search volume keywords ranking from 11 to 30 in Google search results. We focused on selling keywords.
