In this SEO case study, I'm going to show you how I was able to tweak one of our clients blog posts to achieve a jump in search engine rankings in just days.
Let's get started!
On-Page Optimization Case Study
Our client wanted to optimize the blog post for a competitive keyword in the fitness niche. The article lacked many of the conventions I talk about in the SEO writing tutorial, and had been stuck on Page 6 for 18 months.
It didn't take long to examine the areas that needed fixing.
While it took several hours, the scope of work included:
- Inserting keywords into headings (H2s, H3s)
- Increasing keyword density from 0.6% to 1.5%
- Inserting new images with LSI set to the alt tag
- Inserting keywords into the first and last paragraphs
- Changing the Url structure to include the keyword in the title
- Inserting LSI keywords and adding appropriate markup
- Editing the meta description to include the main keyword + LSI keywords
On Page Case Study Results
As you can see, within just a few days, we saw major boosts for this content:
* As recorded via Serpbook in Google.com
We did not ping this, we let Google index the changes naturally.
Additionally, after the work was done, we did not touch the site for several days -- standard practice until we are satisfied the changes have been sufficiently indexed. This is recommended for both new and existing blog posts.
Conclusion
On page optimization is one of the best ways to increase Google traffic. By having sound on page, clients are able to achieve significantly greater results from our off page services and Diesel Core.
