instaMek's #1 goal was to reduce their CPA (cost per acquisition). Bringing a relatively new service to the market, instaMek knew that their current service provider could be doing more.

They wanted to see a decrease in their CPA, but also an increase in conversions to grow their already expanding business. They knew that working with the right PPC agency would help them achieve those goals. 

Dessert Holdings was in need of a new website, a marketing plan, social media plan + SEO in Spring of 2019 that would effectively reach and connect with two sets of core consumers: their foodservice consumers (B2C) and their retail consumers (B2B). The opportunity presented with this unique challenge was the ability to create a beautiful, new customizable website that would not only communicate to all consumers, but also have the ability to increase brand equity, product sales and overall brand awareness.

The Challenge of of Startup Growth

What’s good for the user is good for search. The biggest challenge of the SEO audit for On One Studios (and all companies) is maintaining a customer-focused approach when optimizing.

Every action in the audit must answer the question: how does this help the user on your website? Each tweak needed to embody the core drive of the company.

We came up with a human-centric SEO strategy to guide my approach. The web audit was designed to address three critical issues:

Understanding the company’s core value proposition and drive.

Great tactics mean nothing without a proper guiding strategy. Before I started any optimization, I spoke with management on what constituted the company’s core drives. By understanding their unique selling proposition, I could write copy that reflected their goals.

Addressing website architecture problems with user-centric best practices.

The website needed to make sense to customers. From URL structure to homepage navigation, I needed to make sure each click on the website made it easy to get to a sale.

Identify competitor SEO strategies to implement off-page SEO tactics.

A key pillar of getting a site to rank is the number of backlinks pointing to it. I needed to create a comprehensive, white hat backlink strategy to boost the site’s domain authority. By looking at who our competitors were linked (and linking to), I got a sense of the types of backlinks I was looking for.
