Key Challenges
While the home improvement industry being a highly competitive niche, the client recognizes the potential growth opportunities for their business by addressing the following challenges:
Recover from Their Google Penalty
Many ecommerce businesses are quick to “wing” their way to improving their online rankings, resulting in penalties from Google. The client’s website was affected by the Penguin update, which had a significant impact on their rankings.
Get Targeted Traffic
Our initial website audit shows the client is not ranking for targeted keywords that drive visitors who are likely to transact with their business.

Getting to the Root of the Problem
The first thing our team did was to identify the causes of the website’s Google penalty and implement remedies to regain its rankings at the next algorithm update.
With a technical audit, we analyzed the on-page and off-page performance of the website. We reviewed the website’s content and checked its quality and relevance to their audience, target keywords, and overall brand.
Fixing website issues was also a top priority. We dedicated web development hours to fix minor issues on the website, such as slow site speed.
Applying the best practices to elevate their client’s online performance, we recommended our SEO service to build the basics for their website. This includes the following:
Building the Basics
- Target customer analysis and buyer persona creation: To determine the best keywords and write content for the website, we developed a buyer persona profile for the business.
