Impressive Traffic Increase By 268% For a Metal Fabrication Website Through SEO
Our client, Breck Ironworks, works in custom metal fabrication. The company is located in Breckenridge, CO. Their handcrafted fire pits take inspiration from mother nature, with realistic logs, branches, and pinecones made from recycled steel. The problem with their former website was in the lack of clear structure, which made it difficult for visitors to make a clear idea of the client’s product. Additionally, website content was not optimized for SEO purposes and lacked visual touch. The client wanted our SEO team to make their vision of custom fire pits more accessible through quality SEO content and revamped website structure. And it goes without saying that they wanted to rank higher than their local competitors in search engines.
Our team created a modern website boasting a straightforward structure and quality SEO content. We started working on the project in August 2019; today, we will tell you how a local metal fabrication company can benefit from thoughtful SEO delivered by the industry experts.
Main SEO Promotion Goals For a Custom Furniture Website
We’ve set our SEO objectives at the initial stage of the project:
- Use more relevant queries throughout the website
- Rank in Google TOP with the existing queries
- Increase the organic traffic to the website
- Get ahead of the competitors in the local search
- Rank in Google TOP-20 and TOP-10 with the new queries
After deep niche analysis, we managed to put together a comprehensive keyword map. This allowed us to create a wider structure that covered more commercial queries throughout the website. As a result, a few pages transformed into a powerful source of information about Breck Ironworks’ offerings.
Competitor Analysis And Our Seo Strategy
Competitor analysis is crucial for every SEO project. Our team worked hard to explore the niche and local market of custom fire pits and develop an efficient SEO strategy.
We took time to analyse the websites for our client’s competitors and gave top priority to the aspects that are vital for SEO, for example:
- Website structure
- Content
- Backlink profile
- Internal linking
- Metadata
Traffic Increase By 268%: How SEO Helps Communicate Metal Fabrication Offerings
One of the main SEO goals was to increase organic traffic constantly. Our well-coordinated work within the thought-out strategy allowed us to achieve it. Just imagine: the website only had 197 visitors in September 2019 when we started working on the project. With all the improvements and techniques we applied, the visitors' number increased up to 725 in February 2021 - this is an increase by breathtaking 268%.
Backlink Profile Increased by 453%
Backlink profile improvement is one of the core tasks in online promotion, and we started working on it right away. At the initial stage, it is vital to perform comprehensive competitor analysis and accurate selection of quality resources and directories to place links.
We make every effort to find the most relevant resources with high domain authority. Such a professional approach helps to achieve link-building goals. The graphs below display SEO statistics of referring domains to the website of our client engaged in producing custom furniture.
We achieved the growth of other indicators, vital for backlink profile improvement:
- Domain Rating raised by 33% (according to Moz)
- Domain Authority increased by 86% (according to Ahrefs)
Our every action was made in line with the SEO strategy, developed at the initial stage of the project. Find below the most important workstreams:
LIST OF SEO TASKS TO MEET THE GOALS
Take a Deep Breath: Organic Keywords Increased by 2500%
Getting more organic keywords is a must in SEO projects because it drives organic traffic to the website, generating leads and sales growth. After we created new content about custom fire pits and optimized the old one, the website pages started to rank with the new queries, which is easily seen in the SEO statistics below.
Overall growth reflects SEO success in this metal fabrication website promotion, but the number of keywords in TOP-3 and TOP-10 are much more important. They are the main source of organic traffic to the website, and here is what we achieved:
- Keyword number in TOP-3 increased by 540%
- Keyword number in TOP-4-10 raised by 39
To keep and exceed these results, we perform competitor analysis regularly and make every effort to improve every keyword position. The keywords that show better positions on our client’s website as compared to the competitors are listed below.
If you are curious about the dynamic changes of keywords positions in SERP, here is another table.
Search Console: More Data to Track Website Performance
Another tool we use to track the results of our efforts is Google Search Console.
Firstly, it’s perfect to find errors. When we get the bug reports regularly, we can fix errors faster to keep the website working flawlessly.
Secondly, Google Search Console helps to track key parameters of the website ranking in Google, such as Total Clicks and Total Impressions. Take a look at the results of our work: in 15 months we managed to raise the number of clicks from 4 to 35, and the number of impressions from 261 to 1,497.
Mobile Optimization as a Promotion Factor
2020 was a turning year not only because of the pandemic. Google has officially finalized the priority of the mobile version over the desktop one in their indexing. It’s time now to develop an easy-to-use and informative mobile version for every website.
With that in mind, we performed the adaptivity optimization and created content with the focus on the mobile version of this metal fabrication website, because now it is an integral part of every thoughtful SEO strategy.
Local SEO and More Additional Work
Breck Ironworks is located in Breckenridge, CO, and local clients are their bread and butter. We optimized their Google My Business profile to take full advantage of local promotion.
Google My Business profile is your way to the local pack - special sections of the results page displaying companies that are in the user’s neighborhood. The more information you add to your profile, the better you inform potential clients about your offerings. Our promotion strategy includes optimization of the client’s profile in Google My Business.
The diagram below shows the results of local SEO.
By creating and optimizing the Google My Business profile, we managed to drive more relevant traffic to the website and generate SEO leads: people started calling our client with requests about their metal fabrication offerings directly from the Google results page.
