Lux Okna: website development and organic promotion company of windows selling/installing

The team interaction process 

The client had its own development department, with which we interacted directly. We followed the principle of building competent communication. It was very essential for us to have it right at the beginning of cooperation, so that the developers understood how the promotion of the site was performed.

In pursuit of these goals, we developed the following structure:

• Regular calls and a discussion of which tasks have been completed, what we encountered along the way, and how to move forward;
• A specially created chat in the messenger where quick questions can be addressed as soon as they come in;
• Prompt correction of published materials and a detailed description of how we work with them and a plan for the future;
• Discussion and verification of software changes on a test domain before release on the main website.

Stage 1

The process of website promotion

Before we began working with our client, the site was not optimized, there were no external links. Our team has completed internal optimization and website’s audit.

Firstly, a full semantic core we prepared, next created content writing tasks. Since the volume of the site was not small, the content had been created in stages. We also distributed content to landing pages according to search queries and wrote titles and metadata (title and description).

Note:

The promotion success has largely determined the competitor audit result. It was important to create the website functionality, content and design which would be better than on the websites that appeared on the first search page.

We have adapted and implemented all that was useful for the client’s website; moreover, this process lasted throughout the works and has continued on an ongoing basis. The website has been improving as much as possible.

Content plays a major role. We have selected traffic generating topics. In particular, we have worked on text formatting. We place texts on the website pages that include headings, subheadings; the texts are divided into easy-to-read paragraphs, so that the articles contain high-quality images. Also, the articles are relinked in such a way that the user stays on the website as long as possible.
