SEO Duluth Case Study » elocalmerchants.com
This site a Duluth business directory that sells ads and email list access to local businesses. It was a tough project because the website is not very engaging. I did not feel this client was a good candidate for social tools and we focused strictly on organic SEO.
The client wanted to show advertising customers that the site had search engine visibility for keywords related to their business in Duluth, thus making the ad space easier to sell.
This project was unique because it had to target so many categories. I had to get rankings for hundreds of long tail and niche searches for everything from”weddings in Duluth, mn” to “Duluth Pediatrics”. I optimized over 100 pages using a keyword matrix. The matrix insured that unique terms were applied to every title, description and keyword while maintaining consistent branding throughout the search engine results pages.

The client saw a 60% increase in traffic (disregard the period from late March to early April when analytics was accidentally removed by the client’s designer). Also note that this was a budget project and we delivered great results for a small one-time investment by the client.

When compared to what the client would have paid for PPC advertising there was a huge savings. This case also illustrates the need for ongoing Duluth SEO as increases have begun to level since I completed the work in mid December of 2009. I believe the client would have seen three times the amount of traffic if they had a better designer as the site takes a long time to load. Excessive load times increase bounce rate which then decrease ranking authority.
