Challenges
Midway through the campaign, we noticed a 17% drop in rankings for high-converting search terms due to an unexpected Google algorithm update. Our organic revenue was at risk, and immediate action was needed.
To counter this, we conducted a rapid algorithm impact analysis, adjusted our keyword strategy, and strengthened technical SEO elements.
Our Approach
Our approach wasn’t just about ranking higher, it was about creating an SEO ecosystem that engaged and converted. From a data-backed content overhaul to strategic partnerships with top publishers, we designed an SEO strategy that not only met Google’s standards but also captivated real readers.
We tackled this campaign with a trifecta of SEO firepower, technical SEO, content strategy and digital PR, to supercharge MagShop’s organic visibility.
How we made it happen:
- Backlink strategy: We built a high-authority backlink profile, securing links from relevant media, bloggers and industry publishers to strengthen MagShop’s domain credibility.
- Content expansion: Key magazine landing pages got a full SEO makeover, with richer, more structured content that kept users engaged longer and pushed rankings higher.
- Keyword gap analysis: Competitor research helped us pinpoint high-intent and non-branded keywords, which helped MagShop show up where it mattered most.
- Internal linking: We reinforced site structure, making it easier for search engines to crawl and pass authority across key pages.
The creative execution hinged on finding a balance between SEO best practices and engaging content, so that search engines and readers found value in MagShop’s pages.
