Website OptimizationKeyword research is necessary to properly optimize content.

Website Optimization

Front-end content is critical (what visitors see and read), but

“Alt-tags” and descriptions are just as critical to maximizing

SEO efforts. My experiences have shown that optimizing the

back-end of a website lacks the same initiative as front-end

content.

SEO - Content

CraigMHalliday.com

Wordpress CMS

• SEO Plugin

• Keyword Researched using

Adwords

• No keyword stuffing

SEO - Images

CraigMHalliday.com

Researched keywords underlined in green. To maximize SEO, it’s necessary to

include relevant, searched keywords in image descriptions and titles.

CTA’s

CraigMHalliday.com

I added many CTA’s throughout the website necessary to drive traffic

where they are trying to go, then capture their information. I am also A/B

testing.

* Note the content is talking to them.

Landing Page

CraigMHalliday.com

CTA’s link to a “true” lead capture landing page relevant to their search. Lead

capture landing pages should have no links other than a submit button. The

lead has made their decision to provide information when they click to this

page.

CRM’s

Lead information is captured and saved to a CRM database where the sales manager can contact the lead and nurture the lead through email marketing. In this case, QD Design, LLC uses Open Leads as their CRM.

I also have experience with:

• Infusionsoft

• HubSpot

• Salesforce

• GetResponse – email marketing

QD Design, LLC agreed to change their domain name along with

rebranding their website and content. Research suggests due to this

update, it may take 3-6 months before we see favorable results as long

as website updates do not become stagnant.

Conclusion

CraigMHalliday.com

It’s mid-November 2014 and we are about 30 days into this project. We

are adding video content, updating social media, and launched an

Adwords campaign to help drive traffic. We should know by January if

the new strategies are performing.

Stay tuned for data updates.
