Strategy & Execution

01.

Hyper-targeted SEO brings in highly-qualified traffic and ready-to-buy customers.

Hyper-targeted SEO doesn’t target any old keywords or visitors. Getting granular with which keywords are most relevant and profitable ensures your SEO strategies deliver both more traffic and more qualified traffic. For Mad Paws, this approach to SEO resulted in a 23% increase in organic conversion rate within 6 months.

Furthermore, getting hyper-targeted delivered a 100% increase in organic traffic and 70% growth in organic conversions. In terms of search engine visibility, the Mad Paws website was indexed for 86% more keywords in the same period of time.

02.

Strategic link building grows website authority for top Google rankings.

When an authoritative and trustworthy website links to your website, Google sees this ‘backlink’ as a vote of trust and credibility. The more high-quality and relevant backlinks a website has, the greater search engine visibility you’ll have — and this remains true until today.

That’s why strategic link building was a core part of growing Mad Paws’ online presence. Within 6 months, the number of referring domains increased by 65%. Furthermore, rankings multiplied and traffic doubled.
