The Challenge

The client came to me unsure of both their technical setup and how to improve their content meaningfully enough to overtake their key competitors.

After auditing the site, I was able to spot some metadata and internal linking issues as well as a lack of subtopic and entity coverage within their content. These technical barriers were preventing the site from reaching its full potential.
