Project Overview
One of the biggest challenges for brick-and-mortar stores is to see their digital marketing efforts convert into in-store visitors. Sure, you may get a lot of traffic, but that won’t mean anything if your customers never show up. This is what Visionworks needed help with.
Visionworks started working with Big Leap in 2019 after they heard about our services from another client. At that time, we helped them maintain their organic traffic and leads during their website migration. Those efforts produced a 124% increase in organic views while we helped them create over 250 pages of local content.
For this campaign, we devised a strategy that helped Visionworks see a measurable increase in their in-store visitors. Read on to find out what we did, or contact Big Leap to learn more about what we could do for your company.
Our Strategy
Our Strategy
Over the last two years, we’ve enacted several SEO campaigns to drive continual improvement. Most recently, we took a look at their Locations subdomain’s performance. The more traffic we could push towards that page, the more foot-traffic we could attract to their brick-and-mortar locations.
To bring more traffic to Visionworks’ subdomain, we focused on a new and ultra-specific keyword targeting strategy and implemented those keywords into new and old content.
Ultra-Specific Keyword Targeting
We chose to focus on three main keyword groups—this ensured we weren’t diluting our efforts by targeting too many keywords.
Content Creation and Re-Optimization
Visionworks has hundreds of locations across the United States. And for our optimization efforts to be successful, we needed to create localized content that Visionworks visitors could navigate to. That meant creating new content that targeted our desired keywords for each of these locations. In total, we’ve created over 300 pieces of content over a year and a half.
While creating the new content, we also looked at each subdomain’s older content to see how we could retool those articles to fit our updated keyword targeting strategy. Fortunately, much of this content was created by our writers at Big Leap during the previous campaign; those articles were already written with SEO best practices in mind, so we just had to enrich them with content targeting our new keywords.
“When the location pages were developed, the content on the pages was thin. We felt this was a major need to address in order to help improve the visibility of their local stores. As we developed content we really dove into each location and developed content that was specific to the area where the stores were located. As 2020 came to a close, Visionworks shared with us that the Organic Channel became one of their top drivers to in-store visits.”
They get results, they are ethical, they are transparent. They see what you need to do and partner with you to accomplish your goals. After years of working with them – I trust them completely.
