Business Objectives & KPIs
We set outcome‑focused objectives tied to discoverability, product engagement, and operational consistency. KPIs laddered from page‑level performance to executive reporting so progress was transparent and defensible.

Approach: Content & Product‑SEO Growth Plan
We combined technical fixes with a structured editorial program and a product‑first SEO framework. The plan prioritized high‑leverage issues, then scaled repeatable patterns across categories and content types.
- Technical Audit & Remediation: Crawlability, CWV, structured data, and canonical/parameter hygiene to stabilize the foundation.
- Information Architecture: Collections and hub‑and‑spoke models that reflect search intent and buyer workflows.
- Editorial Engine: Briefs, SME interviews, and an approvals workflow to ship rigorous, link‑worthy content consistently.
- Product Content Uplift: Enriched PDPs with specs, use cases, comparables, and FAQs to answer decision‑making questions.
- Internal Linking: Systematic links from blog pillars to categories and PDPs to pass equity and guide discovery.
- Measurement & Enablement: Event taxonomy, dashboarding, and stakeholder training to keep execution tight.
Program Components Strategies
- Technical SEO: Robots and sitemap governance, pagination/canonical rules, schema (Product, Article, FAQ, Breadcrumb).
- Content Strategy: Pillar‑cluster architecture around core research themes; evidence‑backed long‑form articles.
- Product SEO: Attribute‑rich PDPs, cross‑links to application notes, and comparison tables to reduce friction.
- UX & CRO: Clear CTAs, credibility blocks, and faster templates to improve engagement and next‑step clarity.
- Digital PR & Links: Thought leadership placements and partner citations to build domain authority responsibly.
- Analytics & Attribution: UTM standards, intent‑bucket dashboards, and rank coverage by theme and page type.
- Change Management: Role clarity, SLAs, and documentation so publishing velocity persists without hand‑holding.
