A family owned small business, Hatcountry operated out of Historic Englishtown, New Jersey. They can be found at rodeos, hunting fishing shows, country music festivals, and state fairs across the United States. Over the last year alone they've had stands at over 35 shows, covering 12 states. They carry one of the largest selections of western hats around, including Bailey, Stetson, Resistol, Stetson Hats, Shady Brady Hats and Renegade. They also carry a vast selection of outdoorsman hats.

Challenges
Initially, Hatcountry.com had dynamic pages with very little content, so it was difficult for search engines to index the pages and that led to no rankings. There was also very little link-back support, and a low PageRank. Also, the keywords to be optimized were mostly the products names and therefore very competitive. Hatcountry was also spending a lot of resources on expensive alternatives like pay per click, which was driving in the traffic, but at high cost, but it was not a sustainable long-term marketing option for them.

Solution
We started out by creating additional content for the website by writing industry related articles, with competitive keywords. This helped the website have static pages, which the search engines could index easily. We also optimized the already existing dynamic pages. We then recommended a link-building campaign for highly competitive keywords. We also increased the search engine saturation of the website by extensive interlinking. All our efforts have resulted in hatcountry having the top rankings for competitive keywords like "cowboy hats".
 
What the Client has to say
 
"I asked and SEO Rank delivered. My company was an internet startup approximately a year and a half ago, wasting our revenue on over priced pay-per click advertising to achieve high rankings on the major search engines. This all changed after our involvement with SEO Rank. With in 2-3 months we were enjoying #1 google rankings on our top ten keywords and now we are enjoying those numbers on all of the major search engines. If you don't believe me, search for cowboy hats on any of the engines and you will see the high rankings (#1-#3) www.hatcountry.com enjoys. The staff at SEO Rank is always accommodating. From my experience they take care to treat clients with the utmost professionalism. I am not one to give praise blindly, in fact it is hard earned, and I feel that I not easy to impress. SEO Rank has done this and more. They are the right choice when it comes to ranking a site without a doubt."

Working with RedAlkemi was a great experience. At the beginning of designing a web site, you can usually only prescribe about 80% of what you want. The remaining 20% can sometimes be difficult to finalize, but RedAlkemi was very response to modifications and provided us with a web site that fits our vision. Thank you RedAlkemi!"
