Issues and general strategy
The client requested an increase in orders from the website. At the start of our collaboration, the website was not optimized for search engines or users. In particular, the services pages only featured a slider with images, without any text content, feedback forms, or prices. This critically reduced conversions and complicated search rankings.
Previously, the website had obviously not been promoted this was evident from the lack of even basic optimization of the service pages and the general unstructured nature of the content.
The initial audit showed that the technical and SEO status of the resource was extremely unsatisfactory. The site needed a complete overhaul of both its technical and content aspects.
Goals:
- Comprehensive website promotion
- Technical optimization and improvement of website pages
- Increase in organic traffic
- Increase in conversions and sales
- Promotion of priority keywords in Google's TOP
What was done
Technical optimization
At the beginning of the work, a complete technical optimization of the site, created on WordPress CMS, was carried out. In the first month, the service pages were completely redesigned, filling them with relevant text content, application forms, and price blocks, which significantly improved their conversion rate and visibility in search results.
Semantics
At the start, the website had minimal visibility, mainly for brand queries, and there was no full-fledged semantic core. We built new semantics from scratch, using competitor analysis as well as Google and Google Ads suggestions. The main focus was on high-frequency and medium-frequency queries with high competition, which corresponded to the client's business priorities.
Structure
The site structure was compact, with a low level of nesting — generally one level (the only exception was the “Kitchens” section, which had two levels). The path to the target pages from the home page consisted of only one step, which had a positive effect on SEO and user-friendliness. The current structure covered most of the client's main queries, but there was an opportunity to expand it, which the client decided not to use for the time being.
Content
After analyzing competitors' texts, we formed technical tasks for writing content. Text blocks were created without images, as the pages already had sliders with photos. For these images, we set up automatic generation of alt/title attributes for optimization for key queries.
Meta tags were formed for high-frequency queries, taking into account competitor analysis, in order to achieve maximum CTR. Additionally, price tables (on the “kitchen” pages) were implemented and FAQ blocks were integrated to improve the relevance of the pages.
Usability
To improve usability, we prepared mockups of service pages, which were created based on a thorough analysis of competitor sites. These prototypes allowed us to clearly show the necessary changes in the page structure, which had a positive impact on usability and convertibility. After the mockups were approved, the developers quickly implemented all the changes on the site.
Structured data
We configured structured data of the Product and FAQPage types. We placed a special emphasis on displaying ratings in search snippets, which significantly increased the attractiveness of pages in search results.
Link profile
The link building strategy was formed based on competitor analysis. The main tools were link purchasing through outreach, crowd marketing, and submissions. Submissions were actively used to increase the site's DR, which was a key task for increasing the domain's authority in search engines.
