Our SEO strategy for Dexado Accounting and Tax
Understanding business, goals, and SEO audit
Our client who is also an ex CRA officer was quite specific about what he wanted and a bit apprehensive initially about outsourcing his SEO work. For some time he managed SEO for his website on his own, however, the results were not satisfactory. That’s when he decided to first run a pilot with us.
We began by thoroughly understanding his services and target audience. Next, we conducted a comprehensive website audit to assess its technical health and user experience. Additionally, we performed an in-depth keyword analysis to effectively target small businesses in Ottawa and the surrounding areas.
Strategic SEO Implementation
Based on our findings and competitor analysis we chalked out a detailed and custom SEO plan for our client. This involved:
– Creating additional/new landing pages/service pages per offering to align a particular set of keywords with a specific page
– Writing high quality, non-keyword stuffed content
– Adding proper CTAs to the pages
– Adding FAQs and informative content to the page
– On page optimisation as per best SEO practices
This was coupled with thorough Technical SEO of the existing website.
All the above contributed to better user experience and vola we see the rankings go up!
