Our solution
In order to maximise SEO performance, we worked alongside Pixel & Dot and began from a place of strategy to ensure the best possible tactics were implemented for long-term success.
- Wagada’s team of digital strategists took an in-depth look into competitors and their target keywords, identifying opportunities to rank ahead of the competition for informational and transactional search terms.
- Further keyword research identified long-tail keyword opportunities, building recommendations for a content plan designed to increase ranking for popular search terms and ultimately increase online visibility.
- We executed a sitemap analysis and offered recommendations for our agency partner who then led the restructuring of the new website.
- As part of the initial strategy, Wagada implemented pre and post-launch SEO audits and recommendations to ensure that Marshfield Farm’s new website launch was a smooth process from an SEO perspective.
