Case Study

We launched an SEO campaign for our client and started with the following action plan.

Initiation of SEO Campaign

The SEO campaign was initiated with the following action steps:

  • Crawling of complete website
  • Crawled website to fetch all blog posts
  • Used paid tool “Screaming Frog” to crawl the website
  • Downloaded all blog posts for optimization
  • Analyzed all blog posts and recommended changes to
    • URL Structure
    • MetaData
    • H1 Tags
    • Blog Posts Content

The Next Step: Fixing the Blog Posts Issues

The next difficult part was to fix the erratic blog posts from SEO perspective.

  • Pinpointed pages for improvement
  • Extracted all blog posts and sorted them on the basis of Backlinks, Traffic/Page Views
  • Made a single page rank for multiple search terms
  • Owned Rank #0 in Semantic Search
  • Performed COMPETITOR ANALYSIS

Indexing of URLs

  • Kept Reviewing Website for Smooth Indexing
  • Fixed Issues Hindering the Indexing of URLs
  • Monitored Indexing of URLs Closely
  • XML Sitemap Creation & Submission to Google Webmaster Tool

Competitors Analysis

Competitor analysis was done in terms of:

  • #tag of Pages
  • Content Quality
  • Blogs and frequency of update
  • #tag of keywords for which competitors were Ranking
  • Analysis of Backlinks and finding Quality resources to get links

Google Webmaster Review & Analysis

Then we did a Google Webmaster review:

  • Reviewed GWT data and tweaked/updated the pages
  • Reviewed Google Webmaster and Recommend Changes to Fix Issues
  • On-Site SEO on Category Pages

On-Site SEO was done on Category Pages i.e. and the action steps were:

  • Keywords Research & Analysis
  • Keywords Finalization & Bucketing

Building Quality Back-links

We continually worked to garner quality backlinks – By ensuring that the website is not caught in any kind of penalty by Google. We developed links with the mix of:

  • Anchor texts
  • Naked URLs
  • Brand citations
  • Reciprocal links

Good News: At this point, Google starts indexing their blog posts!

    Once the issues were fixed, site-wide SEO was performed and content was optimized across the website, a lot of fresh content was created based on the targeted keywords. Afterward, we interlinked the blog posts. The traffic also started increasing on a month-on-month basis.

Result

As we mentioned in the beginning, the traffic was a mere 40 visitors a month:

In the month of July 2019, when the campaign came to an end, the number of visitors as projected by Google Analytics was 7000 per month, which was almost a 2800% jump from the initial figure, when the SEO Campaign was launched.
