An in-depth analysis pointed toward a host of issues that plagued the website. Dr. Richardson’s previous digital marketing partner followed Black Hat SEO techniques to prop keywords and increase rankings. While this worked from 2009 to 2013, a Google algorithm update around 2013 severely affected traffic and rankings. To the uninitiated, Google periodically updates its algorithm to provide users with relevant and accurate search results.

Black Hat techniques are frowned upon, with Google issuing penalties against sites using black hat techniques – your website’s ranking will be downgraded or delisted by the search engine.

We also noted that the website was converted from HTML to WordPress in 2015. This was a huge transition that was executed without proper guidelines and protocols. Web developers did not follow standard transition protocols like 301 redirects while changing URLs during this process.

Among other things, we found that the pages were stuffed with keywords – with over 3000 keywords stuffed on the home page alone. This is a Black Hat SEO technique that leads to lower website rankings.

The content was thin, i.e., it added little or no value to the user. Besides, the website also had zero relevant backlinks, website structure issues, thin content, not-so-relevant backlinks, and website structure issues, to name a few. Together, these issues affected website performance and desperately needed a revamp.

We suggested a complete website overhaul, including changing their web host server, optimizing blogs, etc. Here’s a complete list of our suggestions:

• Content marketing
• Keyword optimization on each page.
• Modifying existing blogs as per suggestions based on Yoast, an SEO plugin that improves website rankings by optimizing your site’s content and old blog’s content based on Yoast’s suggestion.
• Removing around 70+ low-quality blogs.
• Adding new blogs with in-depth content – over 1500 words.
• Website maintenance, including plugin updates, replying to comments, and PHP upgrades.
• Quality link building.
• Social media maintenance on all important platforms.

In January 2020, we migrated the website following Google’s latest algorithm and website migration guidelines. We then shifted their server from shared hosting to a VPS server so that they get a dedicated server. It was also helpful for faster loading and better performance.

We also gave their website a new and fresh look, choosing a theme that resonates with their brand. The client accepted all our suggestions. We managed to launch the revamped website will the suggested changes in just one month.
