For a local Italian restaurant, my audit revealed issues with duplicate content, broken backlinks and improper metadata. By fixing these technical problems and optimizing their content for keywords like “Italian food Seattle”, I helped improve their local search ranking for that term from #12 to #5 in 6 months, driving a 25% increase in site traffic and online reservations.

A regional law firm was struggling to rank for service keywords like “contract law attorney Los Angeles”. My audit showed their blog content was not effectively optimized for these terms. By mapping out a content strategy focused on ranking for core services, we were able to improve organic traffic by 30% in a year.

A national retailer selling gardening supplies had a technically sound website, but lacked link diversity. Through my backlink analysis and outreach strategies, we secured guest posts and links from high-authority niche sites related to gardening and horticulture. This resulted in a 35% boost in organic keywords ranking on the first page within 9 months.
