SEO Audit & Organic Growth
The marketing team at CraftCuts approached Trinity to help build and execute an SEO strategy for their website. At the time, their website was inconsistently optimized: Some content was keyword-stuffed, other copy was not optimized whatsoever; Metadata was there, but was often duplicated or getting cut off in search results; Blog topics were relevant, but the content was under-performing. During a six month engagement, Trinity isolated and solved key issues to galvanize their organic visibility.
Approach & Solution
Strategic Solution Approach
While Trinity doesn’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions, there is a strategy for basic blocking-and-tackling SEO tactics that work. For websites like CraftCuts—smaller compared to other eCommerce stores, and already touched by a previous agency—Trinity SEO analysts like to start the engagement with a Technical SEO Audit. From this, Trinity identified over 50 areas for improved optimization on and off-site. A six month strategy focused on fundamental tech fixes and content development, including:
- Metadata optimization (title tags and meta descriptions—improving concatenated Schema, and also crafting unique meta by hand)
- Controlling index bloat through nofollow tags and the robots.txt file
- Researching and developing high quality eCommerce copy blocks
- Addressing keyword cannibalization issues between category/sub-category and family pages
- Creation of video/image XML sitemaps
- Correction of stylistic header tags
- Topic ideation for DIY’s and tutorials that use CraftCuts’ products
- Promoting internal linking with an HTML sitemap
