Stages of comprehensive SEO site promotion
Technical SEO-audit of the site
Initially, we carried out a comprehensive technical SEO audit of the CostaCover.com website. Our goal was to uncover any technical glitches or errors that might impact how easily the site shows up on search engines. We also put together a list of suggestions for smoothly transitioning the site to a fresh Shopify theme. Using these findings, we created a detailed set of tasks for our programmers. Their job was to address and fix all the problems we identified.
Here are a few examples of the issues we found:
- slow site loading speed
- presence of duplicate pages
- The robots.txt file is not correct
- non-optimized images
- missing or duplicate meta tags
- circular and internal links
- use of H1-H6 tags in the layout of the site
- lack of micromarking
- broken links, etc.
Collecting Semantic Core and Analyzing Site Structure
We gathered a range of keywords, selecting those relevant to our promotional targets. Our main aim was to zero in on keywords with low competition (KD) and high frequency within the niche. We also worked on identifying any keywords that were missing from our existing landing pages.
To enhance search engine optimization, we examined the site’s structure. This allowed us to fine-tune it, identify key product categories, and enhance the overall user experience.
Crafting Fresh Meta Tags and Content Generation
We meticulously optimized every single page on the site, ensuring keywords were strategically placed in headings, subheadings, meta tags, and page content. We also created new, informative content designed to engage our target audience. These efforts resulted in improved optimization for each page and increased relevance for search queries.
Here’s a rundown of the tasks completed during this phase:
- Developing and implementing unique meta tags in line with the updated semantic core of the site.
- Crafting H1 headings based on the semantic core data we’d collected to ensure optimum content and keyword alignment.
- Producing top-quality, unique content, which included recovering lost key phrases to enrich page information and boost their relevance.
- Submitting pages for search engine indexing and consistently monitoring indicators to gauge the effectiveness of our promotion strategy and making necessary adjustments.
Analyzing Competitors for SEO Insights
We delved into a comprehensive analysis of competitors within the self-adhesive wallpaper production sector. This allowed us to pinpoint potential avenues for expanding the site’s structure and introducing new collections. Ultimately, these actions will heighten the site’s visibility and competitive edge.
Leveraging insights from our competitor analysis, we introduced new subcategories based on wallpaper colors. We also optimized existing subcategories to enhance site navigation and broaden the range of search queries through which the site can be located.
The following are examples of keywords with which we managed to expand the semantic core to create new collections not previously used on the site:
Developing a Robust Link Building Approach
We meticulously crafted a robust link building strategy for Costacover.com, recognizing the site’s current lack of external links. The primary objective was to enhance the site’s credibility and significance in the eyes of search engines.
Our focus was on securing article links from donor domains with high authority rankings and minimal spam presence. In addition to these article links, we tapped into crowdsourced links originating from forums boasting a domain authority (DR) of at least 30. This dual approach broadened our sources of external links and bolstered the search engines’ confidence in Costacover.com.
Our strategy is designed to incrementally bolster the count of external links, all the while steering clear of any potential penalties from search engines. A pivotal aspect of this link building plan is its organic nature, aimed at acquiring links in a natural manner. All articles and crowdsourced links were procured from reputable and pertinent websites, ensuring they aligned with the site’s geographical focus and relevant subject matter. This adherence to quality and relevance facilitated an authentic and unforced acquisition process.

Generating Information Requests
We consistently released blog articles featuring informative keywords to draw in specific traffic and enhance our presence within search queries. Moreover, we revamped outdated articles that were experiencing dwindling traffic to ensure the content remained current. This approach enabled us to capture the attention of potential customers seeking insights into self-adhesive wallpaper. Consequently, these individuals had the potential to transform into valuable CostaCover customers.
