The Process
Month 1 & 2: Technical SEO
When we get a new client, we like to make their website crawlable for search engines. Here’s a list of what we did to improve the crawl budget for this website:
- Removed duplicate content and redirected
- the old URLs to the new unique pages.
- Removed duplicate page titles to prevent
- keyword cannibalisation.
- Changed the structure of website.
- Improved the speed of the website.
Month 3: On-page SEO and User Experience
Once we created strong foundations for the website, the next step was to give every page a purpose, create amazing content and build topical authority in the aesthetics niche. Here’s what we did:
- Conducted keyword research from where we chose high search volume, mid competition keywords that we believed our client could realistically rank for.
- Update website meta tags to target keywords.
- De-indexed pages with thin content (provides no value to user or search engine)
- Created website alt tags to target keywords.
- Added valuable content to meet users’ search intent on key pages.
- Posted regular blogs that target buying intent keywords.
- Internally linked to important pages to pass authority and give context of the page.
- Focussed on the User Experience (UX) for the best performing blog posts in order to generate leads.
- Refreshed old content.
Month 4-7: Off-page SEO
Once we started to see the impact of having a crawlable website with great content and awesome UX, it was time to build some domain authority so we could compete for the spots on the money-making keywords. Here’s how we did that:
- Requested removal for poor quality backlinks.
- Anchor text analysis.
- Signed up to several free website directories online.
- Built high quality backlinks on relevant and trusted domains.
- Webmasters created longform content and linked back to our client’s website.
