Moving the Needle

Tall Order - Ecommerce

Challenge: Tall Order struggled to attract new users and build their customer base. Ranking only for their branded terms on page one, Tall Order was in desperate need of a content overhaul that would push the site to rank organically for non-branded terms and bring new users to the site.

Approach: I encouraged a content-heavy approach that would drastically increase the quantity and quality of non-branded keywords. This involved creating a content strategy, producing 2-4 blog briefs per month, optimizing collection & product pages, and making technical adjustments to the site.

MotionPoint - Localization Technology

Challenge: MotionPoint offers a wide variety of highly technical translation and localization solutions. Their website struggled to educate the target market properly and direct them toward a relevant CTA. MotionPoint had stretched their content thin and was in need of a content and demand generation strategy that drove qualified top-of-funnel traffic.

Approach: After conducting an audit and constructing a keyword map, it was clear that we had to reduce cannibalization and come up with an effective content strategy. Our strategy focused on developing new blogs, optimizing existing resources, and building whitepapers that we could leverage in a full-funnel LinkedIn Ads campaign.
