SEO Case studies – the results speak for themselves

London Health and Wellness Centre

My London Health and Wellness Centre client had just 200 website visitors a month when we first began working together and very few enquiries.

During our first conversation, she told me how concerned she was about her business and wanted to know if I could help her to get more of the right people to her website so that they booked treatments with her.

After the initial SEO audit and extensive keyword research, we got to work on optimising the website, creating the right content to attract cold leads and improving the site’s ranking for a variety of related searches, enhancing the important Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness factors and writing helpful sub-topical blog articles for her audience, which is all part of our ethical SEO service.

She now receives 5k+ website visitors every month via organic search and enjoys a huge increase in enquiries from perfect-fit clients.

Dr. G says:
“I definitely can see that the SEO works from the email and phone enquiries we get and the fact that we don’t do any other advertising.”

SEO Website Audit for an established business.

An established business owner asked us to do an SEO audit for his site.

He loved his website’s design but it wasn’t getting much traffic from Google and he needed more customers.

He’d already checked who was ranking above him and was feeling frustrated because he knew his products were of higher quality and he provided an incredible service.

But, he didn’t know what he needed to do.

Our SEO website audits cover a lot, including the site’s SEO, performance and content quality.

He received a full report stating exactly what his website needed in order to give it a really solid foundation so that it performs far more effectively.

He found the prioritised checklist incredibly helpful because it gave him an easy-to-understand list of actions to get him ranking better and attract a consistent flow of customers via Google searches.

We continue to track websites for 8 months after an audit so we can provide more advice if needed. Within five months we could see that this client is doing the work because the site errors are decreasing, (there were quite a few) the site’s health has improved (it’s now 100% healthy) and there continued to be an increase in the number of visitors finding his site via a Google search (an extra 701 from the previous month)

We love seeing our clients get these kinds of results for themselves.

These audits are ideal for small business owners, coaches and consultants who want to find out how to improve their website so it ranks on Google, consistently attracts the right visitors and converts them into paying customers.

London Chiropodist – a recent AND ongoing success

This is a recent success story because the client told me recently that he is opening his 6th clinic – this will be his third since we’ve been working together.

It’s an ongoing success story because we’ve been working together for 8 years now! He doesn’t want to let us go because since we teamed up his business keeps on growing and growing.

Feet By Pody had very little visibility 8 years ago and on average 500 monthly website visitors. He desperately needed more customers. He’d used previous SEO companies and was frustrated that the results had been so poor. He was also very concerned that, as a local business serving local clients in London, the competition was too fierce.

We got to work on our ethical SEO service. There were some incredible quick wins and it wasn’t long before his website ranked on page 1 of Google for a large number of super relevant search terms meaning that he naturally received a HUGE number of targeted website visitors month on month, year on year.

With his 6th clinic about to open this has obviously translated into MANY more customers.

His latest Google Analytic report shows that his website visitors have increased by 422.40% from the same time period last year and visitors arriving at the site as a result of an organic Google search have increased by 560.97%!

In real numbers, his site received 5,219 visitors from an organic Google search in one month last year and 34,496 website visitors from a Google search in the same one-month period this year!

The website gets over 7k weekly visitors.

Nicolas says:
“Hazel and SEO+ have been the best investment in my business for years. I have finally found someone that can be trusted, professional, reliable and deliver the work. And this not only for a one-off job but months after months we all see the results.”

Polarity Therapist, Shamanic Healer & Online Energy Healing Professional

When Jane first contacted us she had been desperately worried about where her next clients would come from.

She was very good at writing interesting and helpful articles for her blog but they weren’t being found in searches and no one was booking her treatments.

After extensive keyword research and competitor analysis, we fully optimised the website and all her previous blog posts. We also gave recommendations for new blog articles. We then optimised the Google Business listing and the many elements of her website to improve the Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness factors which are essential for website visitors and for Google and all part of our ethical SEO service.

Within months there were significant increases in visibility and bookings.

Jane says:
“It has been fascinating to watch my stats increase substantially. Organic Google search has increased to 443% from this time last year and I am on page 1 Google ranking for many targeted keywords. I have seen an increase in appointments as a result and many of my new clients found me via Google, which was unheard of before.”

1. SEO Case Study: YouBoat Marine

At the beginning of 2020, YouBoat Marine’s website manager scheduled a call with me. At the time, YouBoat operated both online and from their shop in Gosport, they had a goal to increase their turnover by 50% and wanted to know if our Ecommerce SEO package would do that for them.

What we did:
Following on from our SEO Audit, we fixed crawl errors, sorted 301 redirects, improved page speed and site performance. Keyword research, competitor analysis and on-site SEO was our next step together with optimising the key areas to better demonstrate expertise, authoritativeness and trustworthiness. Category and product pages were given a complete overhaul and fully optimised to increase visibility in search, user experience and sales. We also created more of the right content to further improve the site’s organic ranking and increase sales.

The Result:
Within 4 months of beginning work, ranking had increased for many of their products and the site began to have some solid page 1 ranking visibility. This led to a 50 – 70% increase in the number of visitors arriving at the YouBoat site, every month, as a result of an organic Google search. The increase in website visitors has been directly responsible for their increase in sales, and that wasn’t just a small increase – sales are up 70% on last year!

The business has grown considerably since we teamed up, so much so, that they’ve opened two new stores and have a brand new website about to go live. The power of SEO is incredible!

What the client says:
“Hazel’s SEO work has contributed to excellent sales and traffic growth”

2. SEO Case Study: TantoLabels

The Problem:
The client called us towards the end of 2018, frustrated that he had lost his page 1 ranking for most of his highest converting search terms. His many competitors were now ranking way above him in Google. In the past, Tanto Labels, a UK Label Manufacturers, had enjoyed page one ranking in Google for many of these key phrases and he needed to rank for their best and most competitive keyword “Barcode Labels” again.

What we did:
We completed a full SEO audit and created a tailored and prioritised SEO strategy. Site errors were fixed and the user experience improved. After extensive keyword and competitor research, the site’s pages were fully optimised and all current content improved to provide as much value as possible to the sites’ visitors.

Using our E-A-T checklist, we worked on demonstrating their Expertise, Authority and Trust (EAT) in all the key areas on and off the website.

High-quality and relevant sub-topical content was created in the site’s blog to support their core products and service.

The Result:
The site’s Domain Authority increased from 24 to 32. Page 1 Google ranking for “barcode labels” and other related terms and label types was achieved within 6 months, despite the fierce competition. Tanto Labels now has page 1 ranking for a wide variety of targeted and competitive terms which resulted in significantly increasing his sales.

What the client says:
“Very Professional , No-Nonsense SEO Consultants that get great results”

3. SEO Case Study: FeetByPody

The Problem:
The client first approached us in the July of 2016. He knew he needed SEO because he had very little online visibility and with 4 chiropody clinics in the London area he was eager to be found by his local market. He was aware however that he had a lot of local competition and being found for search terms such as “London Chiropodist” was unlikely. He had many reservations about hiring another SEO company when the previous one wasn’t able to produce any results.

What we did:
We analysed his top competitors and researched the best keywords to target. We then developed each unique page to showcase his individual services more effectively while also targeting one particular keyword, topic or phrase and optimised all associated visible and metadata.

We set up and optimised a Google business listing for each of his 4 clinics and worked with the client to gain Google reviews for each one. Relevant backlinks and citations were also gained.

We created and continue to create optimised, relevant and insightful blog posts as we wanted to show that the client is an authority in his field to increase the all-important trust factor from Google while being seen as a top chiropody resource by his potential customers. We also increased his brand and website exposure with an effective social media campaign targeted at his local audience.

The Result:
The site’s Domain Authority has increased from 16 to 31. Traffic to the site has increased significantly and visitors finding the site as a result of a Google search has increased by 86.72% from the same time period last year. The site now appears on the first page of Google for its main search terms including “London Chiropodist” even though are about 312,000 competing websites.

The site had very little online visibility in Google but within a few months that changed and the site now ranks on page 1 of Google for relevant and highly competitive search terms. This means that he is now being found by the people that need his services resulting in him being fully booked.

What the client says:
Nicolas Ivanoff: “Hazel and SEO+ have been the best investment in my business for years. I have finally found someone that can be trusted, professional, reliable and deliver the work. And this not only for a one-off job but months after months we all see the results. I have tried several SEO consultants in the past and I have always been extremely disappointed. HAZEL is by far the most serious one. She knows stuff.”

4. SEO Case Study: Diamond Boutique

The Problem:
The client first approached us in the October of 2014. His site was slipping down the search engine results pages and his sales had been hit hard. He knew he had a lot of competition and was very worried about his business. He needed to show up on the first page of Google again if he wanted to remain in business.

What we did:
We performed a complete SEO audit initially and uncovered various indexing issues that we fixed as a matter of a priority. We corrected the huge amount of duplicate page content errors which related largely to the product pages containing so little unique content that they were being flagged as duplicates.

We carried out extensive keyword research and created high-quality, relevant, and linkable content which helped in developing strong internal links.

Meta description tags and title tags were updated for each page to better reflect the page’s content and increase click-throughs from the search engine results.

The site’s link profile was checked and we improved the quality of backlinks and continued to gain more from authoritative sites.

The Result:
The site’s Domain Authority continued to increase as work progressed and is now 51! This has more than doubled from January 2016 when it was 24.

Traffic to the site has increased considerably each year and visitors finding the site as a result of a Google search has increased by 76%. The site now appears on the first page of Google for many of its products in spite of the fierce competition.

What the client says:
Pritesh Vegad: “Hazel managed our SEO campaign and she did a fantastic job maintaining our current positions as well as improving positions for other keywords. She has a wealth of knowledge and her passion for SEO can be seen in her work. She provided great content for our website and we look forward to working with her again in the near future. Thanks Hazel!”

5. SEO Case Study: Store Guru

The Problem:
Although the site was over two years old it was attracting very limited traffic and the client needed the site to be found by his target market in order to increase his sales.

Four months ago Store Guru was only being found for very refined search terms in Google and Dave was keen to increase the site’s visibility in Google so he could be found throughout the UK for the services that he provides.

What we did:
We carried out extensive keyword research in order to target the right search terms for this business while being careful about competing in a very competitive market. We then optimised the site accordingly. We wanted to showcase the individual services more effectively and therefore added fresh, relevant and optimised content to promote these. We also gained relevant backlinks and provided recommendations on related elements to further enhance the site’s visibility.

The Result:
Traffic to the site has increased substantially and visitors finding the site as a result of a Google search has increased by 81.08% from the same time period last year. The site now appears on the first page of Google for its main search terms.

The site went from having very poor search engine ranking and only for very refined search terms to being found on page 1 of Google within four months for the following highly competitive search terms:

“Shop Design”
“Shop Design Companies”
“Retail Shop Branding”
“Retail Design Companies”

What the client says:
Dave Stickland: “Great news, we got confirmation yesterday that the £5000.00 design job that we won for our newest client was as a direct result of your SEO work – so thank you v.v.much, great to see.”

6. SEO Case Study: Harford Bridge Holiday Park

The Problem:
Harford Bridge Holiday Park is an award-winning Devon campsite in Dartmoor National Park. The client wanted their website found by people looking for a Dartmoor holiday. The park also has a Shepherd’s Hut that offers a special proposition called ‘comfortable camping’ and the client wanted this promoted.
Before SEO+ started work, the site had poor ranking for search terms associated with Dartmoor. The client was concerned about business passing them by as other sites were better optimised. Building on an interesting and informative website launched in 2011, SEO+ were asked to retroactively engineer what had been overlooked in the original development brief.

What we did:
SEO+ analysed competing websites and researched the best keywords. More relevant information was added to existing pages and the title tags, meta data and other tags were optimised. Extra optimised information about Dartmoor was added. An optimised page dedicated to the Shepherd’s Hut was also added in order to promote this better. Other SEO factors that we undertook included adding a XML sitemap to help search engines index the site more intelligently and gaining relevant backlinks. Advice was also given on improving Social Media activity

The Result:
In 5 months the site has gained well over an extra one and a half thousand visitors and over a thousand of these were as a result of using a search engine.
In less than 4 months this site gained 1st page Google ranking for many search terms associated with Dartmoor, camping and holidays and the site also ranked on Google’s first page for shepherd’s hut-related search terms

What the client says:
Paul Williamson: “We had overlooked the importance of SEO in the re-design and development of our new website. During the website project our business strategy was changing, so our requirements for optimisation lacked any real clarity at the time. A year on from website launch, SEO+ were employed to improve our rankings along specific lines of business development.

We are very pleased with the rapid, measurable improvement in our search engine rankings and other ‘behind the scenes’ work. Employing SEO+ has proven to be an economical and effective means of improving the visibility of what is a good looking site. We will continue to work with SEO+ and our website designers to maintain a competitive edge.”

7. SEO Case Study: Itseeze Ipswich Web Design

The Problem:
Sue wanted her web design company to be found by local businesses searching for her services in Google and was frustrated that her competition was on Google’s first page while she was no where to be seen.

5 months ago she had very few website visitors and no one was finding her site in a search engine as a result of searching for the services that she offers. Sue needed her website to be found by her target market and needed to attract more business.

What we did:
SEO+ took into account her target market and researched the best keywords for each of her current pages. We then optimised her web pages and her code accordingly. We wanted to showcase her individual services more effectively and therefore added fresh, relevant and optimised content to promote these. Relevant backlinks were gained and advice was given on using social media more effectively.

The Result:
Within 4 months the overall number of visitors increased significantly and visitors finding her site as a result of searching for her services in Google has more than tripled.

The site went from having very poor search engine ranking and only for very refined search terms to being found on page 1 of Google for the following highly competitive search terms:

“Ipswich web design”
“Business websites Ipswich”
“Business web design Ipswich”

What the client says:
Sue Jamil: “Hazel has been putting the time in to my website providing an invaluable SEO resource to improve my rankings…SEO is such a complicated game for most to play, it pays to have the support of someone who knows what they’re doing. Thank you, Hazel..onwards and upwards!”

8. SEO Case Study: Pens Unlimited Pen Printers

The Problem:
Simon and Lesley, the owners of Pens Unlimited, were keen to promote their printed pen services throughout the UK and wanted their site found for a variety of search terms that their potential customers might use.

This site had very poor ranking 6 months ago and had no ranking for any search terms that didn’t also include the words ‘Newton Abbot’ or ‘Devon’

What we did:
SEO+ spent time understanding the business and researching the target market. The website was analysed and all the pages were optimised to ensure they were search engine and user friendly and focused to the best and most relevant search terms. Internal keyword rich links were added and the site was submitted to various search engines and directories. More relevant outbound links were gained and advice on using Social Media was given.

The Result:
This site has steadily gained visitors and most of these are as a result of a search engine. Within 5 months this site gained first page Google ranking for –

“Pen printers uk”
“UK pen printing company”
“Marketing pens uk”
“Multi coloured pen merchandise”
“Promotional pen printing uk”

What the client says:
Simon and Lesley Dickinson: “We have been using Hazel since the beginning of this year and couldn’t be more pleased with the results that she has been able to get for us. Previously we had been paying for optimisation but our site was still not being seen and visited.
Hazel took time to get to know us and more importantly our business and spent a good deal of her time researching our industry in order for her to be able to offer value to our website.
It is without hesitation that we would recommend Hazel, we have found her to be very professional and someone who can speak our language whilst being able to do her ‘geeky’ stuff too!!”
