Background
Continuing our work with one of the world’s largest banks, we wanted to be sure that our Year One success wasn’t just a function of 2019’s favorable rate environment.
Our SEO efforts directly impact visibility growth, which creates more opportunities to capture the growing search volume created by the favorable rate environment. That said, we recognized that lead volume would indeed fall, irrespective of the ranking performance, due to a potential drop in search volume if we didn’t expand the keyword universe.

There’s a Method to Our Badassness
We pulled back the curtain. An extensive SEO site audit revealed technical areas of opportunity including external link structure, site architecture issues and a lack of optimized content. We fixed technical site issues and tracked all changes with a rigorous implementation audit. We proposed and implemented a robust content plan that included monthly blog posts, custom imagery and content optimizations. When it was all said and done, we have delivered a robust program that includes new content including a centralized FAQ page and a Glossary.
Ultimately, I hired Mike’s team because of his proven expertise and his results-driven approach. His ability to work well with internal and external partners and integrate his recommendations into existing marketing efforts was very valuable to the team.
