THE CHALLENGE

THE IDEA

This client did not have an existing digital marketing program initially. They needed an advanced SEO program to scale across 8 markets in Europe, and needed to geo target a specific audience interested in their flagship car. They had a sub domain on a .com that resulted in an 85% bounce rate. After optimizing for a specific set of Italian search intents, and work began on the recommendation of migrating the sub domain over to reside in a main category folder on the client's .it domain. A prioritized set of issues was developed, then SEO team lead, Janet Bartoli managed delivery & execution of fixes and optimizations site-wide. 

the results

Technical remediation, site-side content, & optimization result in improved search engine indexing overall that included results like a 43% growth in organic traffic post migration, within the next 8 weeks 130% New Organic Visitors within Italy, and 30% Decreased Bounce Rate.
