Background: The SEO Challenge
One of our esteemed Shopify clients, based in London, encountered a substantial decrease in website traffic in June 2023, a result of prior engagements with an SEO agency that had been implementing outdated strategies. This agency focused on creating low-quality content and utilized unethical backlinking methods, including the purchase of links from link farms. These practices, often referred to as black hat SEO, are frowned upon by search engines like Google.
How RankUp, an SEO company in London, Resolved the Issues
In July 2023, the client partnered with RankUp to revitalize their SEO strategy. Our approach was simple yet effective, focusing on sustainable and approved SEO practices:
