Our strategy for East Coast Sailing
The strategy we used to achieve these results followed a content based approach and site restructure that improved the site’s organic search traffic, UI and UX. Indicators such as these are vital to the Google search algorithm in building organic search rankings over time.
This restructure included website development which also involved a home page redevelopment and SEO orientated design that centralised access to content and other links.
By optimising these aspects, our SEO Sydney Company improved East Coast Sailing’s bounce rate and page views as well.
It was also important to ensure that content was of a high standard, whilst being relevant and useful to the user. This prompted the inclusion of blog posts on a range of Boat hire Sydney related topics including What To Wear On A Cruise In Sydney, 5 Great Reasons To Charter A Yacht in Sydney for Valentines Day and the Best Sydney Harbour Waterways to visit, amongst many more.
Another advantage of including a range of content pieces is that Eastcoast Sailing was made visible to a more diversified audience who may be searching for information on these topics. The following results for Eastcoast Sailing were thus made possible through this campaign.
- 195% increase in French users
- 83% increase in American users
- 21% increase in Melbourne users
- 24% increase in Brisbane users
Whilst these may be foreign visitors, they may also be potential customers or may generate crucial Word of Mouth exposure for Eastcoast Sailing’s Boat hire Sydney service.
Content and website development strategies like these are an approach commonly adopted by us at SEO Melbourne & Sydney. With fresh content being added frequently by our talented team of content writers, metrics such as these will continue to grow with the life of the Eastcoast Sailing campaign.
