Challenge
Company approached RedAlkemi in July 2007 with the key objective of:

  • Getting High Reputation & putting the site on top for industry relevant keywords
  • Getting high traffic of potential and focused customers on the site
  • Maximizing the volume of enquires to maximize sale revenues with strong Internet marketing campaign
  • Running an aggressive link building campaign

Strategy
We accepted the challenge, pulled our sleeves up and started off with

  • Comprehensive keyword research to choose some highly relevant and long tailed keywords, which could provide high return on investment.
  • Some pages of the website were chosen to be optimized for the industry relevant keywords which included rewriting page Titles and Meta tags, editing and optimizing page text, optimizing image names & alt tags, and writing title attributes for navigation menu.
  • This was followed by aggressive off-page optimization which included link building (mix PR and content) and article syndication to consolidate the brand and popularize the website on relevant online communities.
