CHALLENGEs:

Business success of LoEwas dependent solely on the results that SEOValley would generate. Firstly, the challenge was to work towards optimizing the site thoroughly for SEO purposes and in building links to earn higher Google rankings (links are a signal to Google that the site is a quality resource worthy of citation). Secondly, this site required a dedicated SEO strategy that would make it grow in organic search rankings, eventually driving more business. Third major challenge was to compete with the highly established competitors with established top position in organic rankings. SEOValley categorized the goals in three simpler ways mentioned below:

  • Secure top ranking on Google for all priority keywords.
  • Constantly review and adjust keywords targeting to generate maximum organic traffic on crucial landing pages.
  • Closely monitoring and tracking the improvements in rankings & traffic, to ensure this success actually helps drive more registrations.

STRATEGY:

Initially, SEOValleystarted this campaign with a site that had minimal SEO value and with almost no organic rankings. Keywords are accordingly finalized with major focus on the below mentioned key offering by LoE:

  • Future Skills of the Workforce
  • Young Leaders in Schools
  • Emerging Leaders in Sport

Upon a detailed review of top-ranking competitors, SEOValley provided recommendations for creating 150+ new landing pages which directly targeted the selected keywords. These were all content-rich landing pages, the content structure & drafts were prepared based on comprehensive competitive research and using SEO best practices.
