Our strategy was a combination of technical SEO, indexing strategy, content, PR/outreach and CRO analysis.
First and foremost, we addressed the technical SEO issues with the site by implementing a proper canonical strategy to reduce duplicate content, implementing a dynamic meta data strategy to reduce duplicate meta data and populate relevant meta data across millions of pages, better structuring how search engines crawl the site by refining what is crawled by revising the robots.txt file, and refining the XML sitemap strategy to have search engines index the appropriate pages.
From there we used on-page SEO and content to develop a strong indexing/targeting strategy for the website’s category pages through keyword research and mapping. On top of this, we used a content strategy focused on contextual topic modeling to allow pages to better cover a topic as a whole, increasing rankings for the primary keywords and allowing pages to rank for a larger keyword set.
Lastly, we addressed the eCommerce conversion rate issue they had by performing CRO analysis based on user behavior, allowing AJ Madison to gain insights on means to restructure pages for a higher conversion rate across the entire site.
