Where they started

Iconic Balloons had a DIY website with almost no search setup behind it. Products weren't organised and nothing told Google what each page was for, so it showed almost none of them.

In her words: no one can find me, and I don't understand any of this tech stuff. She wanted people to find her, so that's where the work started.

What we did

01

Fixed the backend issues that were keeping pages out of the search index entirely

02

Rebuilt the site structure so each page had a clear job and Google could tell what it was

03

Set up proper heading hierarchy, meta structure and on-page search formatting throughout

04

Corrected the indexing so the pages that actually mattered could be found

What changed

Impressions went from 10 to 25 a day up to 40 to 100 plus. Clicks went from 0 to 3 a day up to 3 to 10. Average ranking lifted from somewhere between 30 and 50 into the mid teens.

Getting found was the brief, and it worked. The next step is a site built to turn those visitors into orders, because traffic on its own only gets you halfway.

Impressions from 10 to 25 a day up to 40 to 100 plus, with a click-through rate of 4.9 percent.

Getting found is step one. Getting chosen is step two.
