CHALLENGE
Aford Awards, a leading trophy, medal and engraving specialist, were looking to supercharge its search strategy.
Working with Reflect Digital for a number of years, they had seen continued growth. Building on that strong foundation and fueled by new ambitious growth plans, they were ready to take their search game to the next level.
They had four clear goals in mind to level up their SEO performance:
- Increase brand awareness
- Growth of organic traffic by 75% YoY
- Increase website conversion rate
- 50% revenue growth YoY
SOLUTION
Our audience-centred strategy was a winning formula from the off. We created a measurement focused plan, always keeping the end goal in mind with every decision we made.
Powered by our team of search specialists we combined innovative technical solutions with creative thinking. Advanced page optimisation improved ranking positions organically, notable improvements were also seen from implementing Schema markup.
Onsite optimisation was also carried out, focusing on a combination of user intent search volumes and the current search market to drive our decision making and content creation.
A backlinking strategy was put in place and quality, natural and relevant backlinks were the aim of the game. We created a calendar of link-worthy content aligned with peak industry moments such as the world cup.
Campaign focus areas:
- Creating the World’s most expensive trophy
- Developing relationships with Premiership clubs.
- Engaging image-based quiz content
- Creating topical infographics
- Writing relevant ‘link bait’ articles
