Client Background and Problem

Our client was a small business in a highly competitive niche, struggling to attract visitors to their website and generate leads. They were practically invisible on search engines, and could barely get any traction with their email and social media marketing campaigns.

Challenges

The company lacked a clear marketing strategy and was doing little to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Their website was slow to load, with limited content and poor navigation, which made it hard for visitors to find what they were looking for.

Opportunities

The company had a great product, loyal customers, and a strong brand reputation. Their website had a lot of potential, but it needed a revamp to improve user experience and ranking.

Initial SEO Audit Findings

Our audit revealed that the website's structure and content were preventing it from being crawled and ranked properly. We identified major issues with metadata, backlinks, site speed, and responsiveness. The website wasn't mobile-friendly, which was negatively impacting its ranking.

We used a proven methodology and tools to generate a comprehensive report.

The findings were used to identify key areas for improvement and develop an actionable plan.
