Challenges

Wanting to increase their organic visibility within the eyewear and fashion vertical, 1001 Optical reached out to Online Marketing Gurus in December 2016. From this, OMG created an integrated SEO strategy that looked at strategic link building and expanding on category brand content and blog content.

  • Client faced server issues affecting overall site performance
  • Google Analytics conversion tracking was incorrectly implemented
  • Blog content was not categorised efficiently to utilise URL hierarchy
  • Large number of broken (404) pages which is not best practice SEO

Our Approach

Upon onboarding 1001 Optical, our Gurus uncovered the difference in authority compared to industry leaders like Specsavers and Vision Direct. Both referring domains and domain authority were suffering, and as such OMG opted for link-building and content creation to combat the difficulty.
