Online platform Oink.BG
Oink.BG is one of the leading business information platforms in Bulgaria. It provides easy access for users to find local businesses (for services or products), and also allows them to leave reviews/ratings of the businesses they visit.
The purpose of the business directory is to gather in one convenient place all established Bulgarian companies that are developing on the territory of our country. On the other hand, Oink.BG gives businesses the opportunity to register and present their activities on the platform. In this way, businesses receive publicity, and customers have the opportunity to choose from a rich list and vouch for a given business by leaving a reliable review after a visit.
A starting point for starting digital marketing and SEO
Oink.BG contacted us due to a need for digital development and reaching targeted organic traffic from national search engines. At this stage, their traffic does not exceed 3K clicks per month (for 198K impressions) from Google Search.
In short: The site has significant potential for development in terms of the number of impressions (how many times Google has shown the site in Search Results for a given search).
Technical audit
We check the main and secondary technical SEO aspects of the website. They must comply with Google's requirements. We notice that the site needs improvements, especially for optimizing uploaded images. Images need to be in the correct web format and with a precisely defined size, which does not exceed 70 Kb (this directly affects the loading speed of the site).
The tool for preparing a reliable SEO audit that we use in this case is Screaming Frog - SEO Spider .
Finally, we provide the client with a comprehensive SEO audit document with instructions and specific requirements to properly implement the changes (with the help of their web developers).
Keyword research, keyword mapping and SEO strategy development
Researching keywords in the niche is essential for developing an SEO strategy to act on later.
The research also includes researching competitor sites that are already ranking for important keywords in the niche.
Keywords are the bridge between search and supply on the internet, especially in search engines like Google Search. We check the performance of these keywords through planning and research tools like Google Search Console, Google Keyword Planner, and Ubersuggest.
In addition, we analyze the already created pages and categories on the site and notice a need to focus on actual search, as well as create new content and a filtering system for the categories.
Keyword mapping is the process of clearly defining and linking each page of a website to short-tail and long-tail keywords. This provides additional clarity to visitors and search engines regarding the structure of the content on the platform.
Improving On Page Factors
On-page factors are components/elements of a website's pages that directly affect its ability to rank in Google.
This type of optimization aims to cover a set of requirements that a website must meet in order to be in good standing for search engine rankings.
Linkbox.BG's SEO specialists provide clear guidelines for improving these on-page factors.
In fact, these improvements are dependent on each Google Search Core update for maximum efficiency and achieving the desired ranking results at this time.
Category optimization and creation of additional filters
The categorization of an online directory is one of the most important things, because they are the basis for reaching the desired content of users, and the clearly defined structure of our site for search engines depends on it. In addition, grouping keywords by category is one of our main goals.
We are orienting our main categories and subcategories by keywords and introducing additional filters into the directory.
These filters help to provide unambiguous and specific search results to site visitors. More relevant results enhance the UX experience of users on the platform, which is also important for Google.
SEO Copywriting
Our SEO strategy includes ideas for new content for a specific niche of the site, in this case – SEO copywriting for hotels. The structure of the new content is based on a proven methodology in SEO optimization.
