Backstory:
Tony Fredricks, Managing Director of Earth Shifters, was convinced to partner with Trades Focused after reviewing their detailed case studies and aspiring to achieve similar results for his brand.
Earth Shifters had an existing website that suffered from poor planning, resulting in a subpar user experience.
The Challenge:
- Bounce rate at 81%, significantly below industry standards
- Conversion rate at 0.8%, also falling short of industry benchmarks
- Website issues negatively impacted customer experience, leading to high bounce rates and lost leads
- Site-wide content problems, including non-value-adding and duplicate content, identified through an advanced analytics review and content audit. This content was dragging down the site’s overall performance
- Poor on-page optimization characterized by keyword stuffing and irrelevant keyword usage, both detrimental to SEO
- A lack of trust with Google was revealed as the core issue in a high-level site assessment
Strategic SEO Plan:
A much-needed website overhaul was undertaken in line with best practices to establish critical SEO foundations. This was followed by a focused results-driven strategy, emphasizing high-quality content supported by reputable backlinks.
SEO Campaign at work:
- Provided essential support in website planning and information architecture, ensuring a best-practice website execution. This included assisting with high-fidelity wireframes and mock-ups
- Collaborated closely with the web design and development team to emphasize the critical role of SEO in the website build, ensuring it became a core focus and laid the foundation for future success
- Once the new website was delivered, the initial focus shifted to areas within our control: technical SEO, on-page optimization, and crafting a winning content marketing strategy
- With all on-site SEO tasks completed, the focus now shifts to off-page SEO, primarily building high-quality backlinks with strong metrics and substantial traffic
- Strategically leverage all available data to identify and address any gaps in the campaign, ensuring continuous improvement and long-term success
Organic traffic increased by 262.34% during the first active months of SEO (May – November 2024)
(Organic traffic trends continue to increase month-over-month.)
