What we did
A consultative approach to services
Gadget GoGo faced significant challenges in increasing their online visibility and competing with established giants in the industry. Despite having a solid business model, they struggled to attract sufficient organic traffic and relied heavily on paid media to drive sales. Their main issues included:
- Low online visibility against major competitors.
- Heavy dependence on paid media for traffic and sales.
- Limited understanding of the potential of organic search.
To address these challenges, a multi-phase strategy was implemented:
Education on Organic Search: Over six months, we worked with the founder of Gadget GoGo to develop their understanding of the potential of organic search. This included identifying opportunities where competitors were underperforming and how we could leverage these gaps.
Optimisation and Implementation:
- Conducted thorough keyword research to identify high-competition terms.
Optimised the website content and structure to improve search engine rankings.
Developed a content strategy focusing on valuable, keyword-rich content to attract organic traffic.
