Overview
For about two years I worked on contract with the Downtown Resource Group to help improve their search engine rankings. This included a plan to repurpose content, integrate social media (like Facebook and Twitter), as well as build micro-sites.
Phase One: Planning
At the beginning of the project, I sat down with stakeholders to set expectations, discuss goals, and prepare a mutually agreed-upon contract.
Phase Two: Research
The next step of the project was to determine how the site ranked, what the competition was doing, and create a plan to achieve long-term and short-term goals.
I researched the keywords the stakeholders requested, and did an analysis of the local market to determine recommendations for low hanging fruit and highly searched terms relative to their interests and demographics. This was done by determining if a keyword was highly searched for and how much competition the word or phrase had. If the keyword had lots of searches, it was probably a good term to try to compete for. The amount of competition determined if the keyword was a long-term or short-term goal. Lots of competition means that a keyword may take more time and effort to rank.
Phase Three: Improving Content
Methods for improving the site's search included:
- Rewriting content to incorporate approved keywords
- Ensuring code was clean and well-organized
- Evaluating the navigational structure
- Analysing and synthesizing the data on an ongoing basis
- Integrating a PR campaign to improve backlink results
- Improving the company's social media strategy
- Integrating search-engine marketing (sponsored search)
