Search Engine Optimization

1.First steps

Analysis and audit

We defined search keys for all website categories and estimated their amount. Also, we analyzed competitors who work with similar products. The received data helped us to calculate the predicted traffic to the website after six months of promotion.

As part of the services provided, we did a one-time setup of the website: the store was connected to Google Business. This was done to allow users share interesting information in social networks.

2.Implemented processes and actions

Content optimization and strategy development

After the preparatory steps, we moved to the main work on search engine optimization.

The work on content was divided into several stages:

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

As during the first months the client did not conduct the payment regularly, unfortunately, the promotion plan shifted a bit. There also wasn’t enough money to create optimized text for product cards

After the analysis of competitors links and semantics, we developed a unique strategy to work with backlinks for the first three months. Then we modified the strategy to raise the search queries, which were more often shown in the search results, but their ranking was not sufficient.

3.Tasks
