THE CLIENTReview website reviewing immigration agencies and law firms.

This was a project that we were approached to build from the ground up, as there was no existing site yet. It was an exciting concept as it was the first in its industry.

THE PROBLEMAs this was an industry first, there were no industry-specific templates to work off from. There was no content, no rankings and no site authority to speak of.

This project involved setting up the website and designing it’s content structure, developing a content plan, structuring the format of reviews and then ranking the site and its reviews for relevant search terms.

OUR APPROACHFollowing a detailed keyword plan, we mapped out content categories of the site. This involved providing general information to prospective immigrants such as health and education systems, as well as how to search and apply for work and which immigration programs to apply to. Personas by country, background and interests were also created.

This content was arranged in a structured hierarchy on the site, to maximise crawling and user navigation.

Reviews were updated with the correct schema.

Reached out to companies with trustworthy sites and positive review ratings, offering a trust badge linking back to their profile.Mapped out a social media campaign to further promote content, including a Facebook ad campaign targeting individuals following pages of prominent immigration firms.

Initially, the selection of reviews was based on which companies received significant branded keyword search volumes. This meant that rankings would get the most traffic possible with relatively little traffic.

THE RESULTProper on-page structure and schema mark-up, as well as regular content being posted, resulted in the site quickly ranking well for several keywords relating to industry review-related search before any link outreach campaigns were even started.

Pages containing reviews of prominent companies ranked well, particularly those of scam sites. (This was particularly rewarding as our site was able to provide users with massive value: warning them against potentially scams and fraudulent companies, as well as providing recommendations for more trustworthy agencies.)

Grew traffic from nothing to over 200 hits a day and counting from almost 100 first page rankings.

This simply is one of the most targeted and effective ways of getting your name out there, where you KNOW the right buyers are looking.But, with most companies on the planet shifting marketing / advertising budgets into internet channels, the landscape has become highly competitive. Having a website isn’t enough – you need an online presence that consistently works to attract new business to you, as well as effectively convert visitors that visit your site…
