Our Role
Since first starting our work in early 2018, our business relationship has prospered, mostly in part due to a large increase in quality leads & enquiries.
We were commissioned to work on the companies’ entire digital marketing strategy, and our work consisted of the following:
- Website audit & technical SEO improvements
- Google Ads pay-per-click campaign overhaul
- Website content analysis & ongoing improvements
- Blog article creation & content marketing
- Implementation of a new social media strategy
- Infographic creation
- High domain authority link building
- Regular new product data feed uploads to Magento
The current incarnation of their website is built using Magento 1.9x, and though we didn’t build the website initially, our role has been to maintain and improve it as necessary. Since identifying a few issues with their website – mostly responsive & UI based, we will be starting work on a fresh new design along with an upgrade to Magento 2.x to come.
