Are you struggling to attract organic traffic even with a well-designed website and high-quality products? You’re not alone. Many businesses face this challenge. Take our client, Painted Kitchen, for example. Despite their excellent craftsmanship, they were not getting enough visibility. Learn how we identified key SEO issues and implemented strategies that gradually improved their online visibility and rankings.
Introduction
The Painted Kitchen Company Ltd is a British firm specializing in handmade and bespoke kitchen cabinets. They offer high-quality, customizable designs at great prices, using the best materials sourced worldwide.
However, their website faced challenges in attracting organic clicks and achieving favorable search engine rankings. A year ago, they approached Mastroke to enhance their online visibility and SEO performance.
Challenges
After initial assessment, we found some of the website's metrics that were affecting their SEO:
Low Organic Traffic and Impressions: The site received only 313 clicks and 45.8k impressions, indicating limited reach.
Poor Average Position on SERPs: An average position of 35.6 suggested that the site was not appearing prominently in search results.
High Toxic Score: These scores affected the website’s reputation and search engine trust.
Our Objectives
We set clear objectives to address these challenges:
Enhance SEO Health and Performance: We will first fix technical aspects such as reducing crawl errors, optimizing breadcrumbs, correcting schema markup and revising the sitemap to improve site health.
Increase Internal Linking: Organize internal links within the site to make navigation easier and help search engines find pages more efficiently.
Improve Rankings for Non-Brand Keywords: Target relevant keywords to attract a broader audience.
Create and Optimize Landing Pages: Develop pages that match user intent and are optimized for search engines.
Strategies Implemented
We implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy to achieve these objectives, including technical, on-page, and off-page elements.
1. Technical SEO Fixes
Robots.txt Optimization: We ensured that all essential pages were accessible for crawling by search engines. Directives like Disallow, Allow, and Crawl-delay were utilized to control bot interactions for efficient crawling without overloading the server.
Schema Markup Validation: With the help of Google's Structured Data Testing Tool, we validated and corrected schema implementations. Proper schema markup helps search engines understand the site's content and improves rich snippet displays.
Sitemap Management: We updated the sitemap to include new pages and remove outdated ones. The revised sitemap was submitted to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. We monitored regularly to ensure it remained error-free and reflective of site changes.
Breadcrumb Optimization: Breadcrumbs were standardized to improve navigation and provide clear paths to previous pages. This improved user experience and allowed search engines to understand site structure.
URL Structure and Redirects: We audited the URL structure to identify and rectify issues causing 5xx server errors. Implementing proper redirects ensured users and search engines were directed to the correct pages. This reduced crawl errors and enhanced site health.
2. Keyword Optimization
Detailed Keyword Research: We conducted in-depth research to identify intent-based keywords relevant to the cabinet manufacturing industry. This involved analyzing search volumes, competition, and user intent to select the most impactful keywords.
Meta Tags and Header Optimization: High-search-volume keywords were added to meta titles, descriptions, and header tags. This aligned with user's search queries that gradually improved click-through rates and search engine rankings.
3. Content and On-Page SEO
Content Updates: We reviewed existing content to focus on internal linking and on-page SEO elements. This included optimizing images with alt text, checking appropriate keyword density, and improving readability.
Landing Page Optimization: We optimized landing pages with specific keywords and user intents. These pages provided valuable information to encourage user engagement and reduce bounce rates.
4. Link Building
Acquisition of High-Quality Backlinks: We collected backlinks from authoritative and relevant websites such as “Reddit”, “Diigo”, “Tumblr”, “Scoop.It”, “Pinterest”, “Gab”, “Flickr”, etc within the industry. To achieve this, we reached out to industry blogs, participated in forums, and submitted articles to reputable directories.
Focus on Building Authority: We enhanced the site's domain authority and credibility with search engines by targeting trustworthy sources. We maintained high engagement metrics like increasing total views by 141% and engaged sessions by 252% to indicate the content is valuable and relevant.
5. Off-Page SEO Activities
Social Bookmarking: Content was submitted to popular platforms like Reddit, Digg, and StumbleUpon to increase brand visibility and drive referral traffic.
Infographics and Blog Submissions: We created informative infographics and blog posts and shared them across various platforms to engage the audience and attract backlinks.
Ping Submissions: Utilizing ping submission services helped search engines index new content faster.
Results
Over a year, these strategies delivered significant improvements on their website. Clicks increased from 313 to 1,760, while impressions nearly tripled from 45.8K to 140K. The average click-through rate (CTR) improved from 0.7% to 1.3%, showing better engagement with the audience. Also, the average position in search results moved up from 35.6 to 29, indicating improved visibility.
These gains reflected our SEO efforts and contributed to a stronger online presence for the client's website.
