Consequently, they came to us seeking a one-stop shop SEO partner that could assist them improve their website’s user experience and drive more qualified traffic to increase conversions.

Solution

When we came into the picture, the ambiguity of Davis & Company’s search terms, coupled with the high cost associated with generic keywords, created a sticky situation known to many digital agencies: low search traffic with unqualified traffic from paid ads. Another challenge we had was that their newly launched website needed to be re-optimized so that we did not lose existing search traffic and Google indexing. We needed to manage their keywords in a strategic manner and to get them back on Google’s radar. As a solution, we decided to analyze the search landscape and embark on an amalgam approach with a paid, organic and social optimization campaign to improve their traffic.

For a well-rounded approach, we also decided to be proactive in a world where voice has replaced the keyboard by optimizing their assets for voice search as well (voice search optimization). Whether they come from Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant, we made sure voice users can find Davis & Co. when they need them most. To make this happen, we provided them with best practice documents, suggestions and recommendations regarding copy and linking, and went the extra mile by clearing up any on- and of-page errors. Leveraging our in-house technical expertise, we were also able to offer support on the Drupal CMS to make their website more user and SEO friendly.
