THE CLIENTOur London-based client provides walk-in debt counselling and Consolidation solutions for individuals from all walks of life in four locations.

THE PROBLEMMassive AdWords and Facebook Ads spend. No organic rankings or traffic from Google due to a manual pure spam penalty after paying for budget SEO services.

They came to us looking to remove the penalty and replace expensive traffic from Google Ads and Facebook with targeted traffic from organic search.

OUR APPROACHOur first priority was to get the penalty revoked. This included:• Create a master penalty removal sheet• Identify links that Google sees as artificial• Submission to and response from Google

Once completed, we were able to focus on properly optimizing the site and building authority in the eyes of Google:• Improved website hierarchy by organizing pages into

parent-child folder relationships, including /location/city for each local page

• Setup, verified and optimized each location page’s Google+ / Google My Business listing

• Setup outreach automation cycle to past customers for Google+ reviews (a key ranking factor)

• Implemented technical updates to website, including local schema.

• Launched link outreach and building campaign• Improved social signals to the site

THE RESULTWe were successful in revoking the penalty on the site.

Due to the penalty, we had to be very careful about building a trustworthy, authoritative presence. After the first 120 days, we started to see significant results.

1st page for 3 of their 4 locations

The resulting organic traffic slashed AdWords and Facebook Ad spend by 75%.

Organic traffic increased 254.35%

This simply is one of the most targeted and effective ways of getting your name out there, where you KNOW the right buyers are looking.But, with most companies on the planet shifting marketing / advertising budgets into internet channels, the landscape has become highly competitive.

PHASE I: BREAK IT DOWNFirst step: check under the hood. SEO CONSULTING

Here we develop best-in-class strategy for search engine optimization, search engine marketing, and lead generation, and we start by isolating key terms that will empower you to dominate your competitors based on our research.

BRAND CONSULTINGBranding is fundamentally about drilling down to who you are, and the legacy you want to leave behind. We help you discover your key core competencies, core brand values, brand personality, as well as your brand hero and brand archetype. We take a fresh look at your target market and competition and how you are currently presenting your business to your audience compared to how you would ideally like to be presented.Do you have a website that is modern, fresh, informative and memorable? What state is your social presence in? Does it need a facelift and are you engaging your customers effectively. What trust signals exist online to help a new customer know that you’re the right fit?
