The Challenge

After conducting a manual SEO audit using ScreamingFrog, Ahrefs, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, SEMRush, OnCrawl, and several other tools, we identified the following problems responsible for the steady loss in organic visibility.

  • Spammy Link Profile
    Before working with us, RCS was engaged with a service provider that acquired thousands of low-quality links via grey and black-hat SEO services.
  • Neglected eCommerce Pages
    The Sky9SEO team found that nearly every eCommerce page (category & product pages) was not individually optimized for high-volume and low-competition target keywords, ultimately decreasing search visibility.
  • Thin & Low-Quality Content
    After completing the content audit phase, we discovered a lot of underperforming content across the entire website. Additionally, we explored a positive correlation between content depth and rankings - a common finding in most cases.

Our Strategy & Method

As with any full-service eCommerce SEO campaign, Sky9SEO hit on the three core pillars of SEO: Indexability, Content, and Authority.

Indexability (Technical SEO)

We started by executing the SEO Project Planner Audit, which consists of the following deliverables:

  • Website Quality Audit
  • Manual Technical SEO Audit
  • Content Performance Audit
  • Keyword Analysis & Research
  • Target Page Planning for Link Outreach

Here are a select few of the multiple changes we made to RCS at the beginning of the campaign:

  • URL structure improvements to increase crawlability & UX
  • Excluding low-value pages from the index to maximize crawl budget
  • Structured data & schema markup for increasing clickthroughs
Content

We identified a content crisis early on in the campaign. In the beginning, we worked with countless 300 words of low-quality blog articles, 30 words descriptions, and several top-level pages with less than 250 words on them.

We knew we had to create enough information for Google to index and display in search results.

Our content writers added nearly 7500 words worth of product descriptions, 4 strategically written posts per month, and started category page development.

Authority Building

The restaurant industry is constantly changing, and acquiring links from high-value publishers can be difficult, especially if you don’t have a well-planned strategy. However, after countless hours of link prospecting, our team earned links from some of the most authoritative websites.

In just 12 months, our guest post, infographic, and link placement outreach campaigns have resulted in massive authority increases for the RCS domain.

We performed outreached and obtained organic natural links, and implemented an internal solid linking strategy between relevant products, categories, branded, and blogs post.
