SEO Case Study: Executive Recruiter
Background
When the client came to us in mid-2018, their website had some rankings, but it was not achieving its potential. The website was not properly optimized for keywords based on keyword research, and the website was lacking many important SEO landing pages, including pages for high-priority cities. The client was looking to improve rankings, grow organic traffic, and generate more leads from organic search. Over the course of 1 year, we improved Google rankings, increased organic traffic, and increased the volume of leads tracked through Google Analytics.
Below is a summary of our work:
