HOTH X Helps E-Commerce Client Hit 25,000 Monthly Visitors

Our first step in working with this client was doing a complete audit of their site. As mentioned above, the company was already employing some effective SEO strategies. They just needed our expertise to reach the next level. 

We learned that their organic traffic was around 8,000 visitors per month when they first signed up with us. Their traffic had been trending upwards since the beginning of 2020.

The HOTH’s free website traffic tool also allows any online business to generate a mini SEO report on its own.

Links are one of the best ways to increase traffic and SEO ranking. During the audit, we found that they only had about 50 links at the beginning of June 2020. Our marketing experts knew that they needed more links. 

After the SEO audit, we can quickly influence a client’s traffic by optimizing “easy win” keywords on their website. These are keywords they aren’t currently ranking for in the 4-30 positions. 

It turns out the company had over 5,000 “easy win” keywords to choose from. We wouldn’t use them all, but instead find ones that could help us quickly boost ranking and traffic.

Our goal was to select “easy win” keywords with high search volume (the number of people using the keyword in a search) but with a low keyword difficulty (how hard it would be to rank with these keywords from 0-100). 

A keyword like “fragrance direct,” for example, has a KD of 12 out of 100, but 123,000 searches. Other “easy wins” included “ghost perfume,” “aftershave,” and “dior sauvage.”

We took these keywords and incorporated them into web copy, blogs, or other content that could help the client to get more exposure. 

Don’t think we forgot about keywords ranking in the 1-3 positions. Our goal is to get these as well but that process takes longer.

Business owners understand how important it is to do competitive research. You need to know your competitor’s strengths, weaknesses, and the unique things they’re doing that you could also benefit from. 

In no way is this designed for you to do the exact same thing as your biggest competitor. Rather you want to identify opportunities that would also fit your business. Not everything your competitor is doing would work for you. 

The competitive gap analysis involves using sophisticated digital tools to see what keywords are helping your competitor. They may be keywords you could add to your strategy! 

We found that the company had 47 competitors in the United Kingdom. Although the field was crowded, we knew many of these businesses were probably using the same keywords. 

One competing business shared 39% of our client’s keywords. But, upon further review, we saw that the competitor also ranked for an additional 5,116 keywords.

Next came the exciting part. This client signed up for HOTH X, our #1 Best Selling Managed SEO Service.

The benefit of our managed service is we take everything off a client’s plate. That way they can focus on developing their business while we take care of digital marketing. 

Another huge benefit of HOTH X is that clients get access to all of our products and services. They’re assigned a dedicated campaign manager who can utilize anything from link-building outreach to content syndication. Having access to all of these products helps campaign managers to individualize client strategies. 

Monthly orders for this client consisted of: 

• HOTH Blogger Articles 
• Link Outreach DA 20-50 
• Link Outreach Pro Packs 1K to 25K 

HOTH Blogger helps to increase the number of keywords used on your site, while Link Outreach help you get links from sites with a domain authority ranging from 10-50+ (with 50+ being the highest). 

The quantity of each order may have shifted from month-to-month based on a number of variables, but the strategy remained consistent. It’s important to understand that getting the results you want could take three months or more. Patience is key. 

Our favorite part of any campaign is sharing the incredible results with our client. First, let’s take a look at the company’s growth in organic traffic. 

In nine months from when they first contacted us in June 2020, their traffic spiked from 8,000 visitors per month to 24,791 today. 

Wondering how much that traffic is worth? Today, their traffic is valued at $9,331. This means they would have to spend this much to get the same amount of paid ad traffic.

As you probably noticed in our strategy, our goal was to set up more links for the client. We did this by using HOTH Link Outreach. 

In the end, we increased the number of backlinks from 50 in June 2020 to over 200 in the new year. That’s a 300% increase in seven months!

This client really stuck it out and is now experiencing a surge in-store visits and sales. It took them longer than the average three months to get these big results but they trusted HOTH X and it paid off in the end.
