Challenges

Candy Obsession had recently launched their new business when they initially approached Siruss. As the website was new, it wasn’t being found in Google for many keywords at all, and their goal was to grow organic visibility over time, and therefore increase organic web traffic.

Solution

The customer had performed some initial steps for SEO, and they needed help with the next steps, specifically link building.

The Siruss SEO Team quickly audited existing backlinks that the customer had built and suggested links from other sources that the customer could build themselves. Siruss also offered some consultancy on how to optimise the pages.

Siruss then moved on to building high-quality contextual backlinks for the Candy Obsession website over time.

The Siruss web development team also assisted in improving the buying process for the pick and mix builder, helping to improve conversion rates.

As the website’s visibility grew, Candy Obsession decided to let Siruss take over the entirety of the SEO for the website. This included auditing the website from a technical perspective, adding additional new content, editing existing content, optimising all of the meta information and continuing to build high-quality contextual backlinks.

 

Results

Visibility and organic traffic massively increased over time. The website was initially ranking for just 100 keywords, with 0 in the top 3. At the time of writing, the website is now ranking for over 1,000 keywords, 122 of which are in the 1-3 position, and a further 127 keywords in position 4-10.

Candy Obsession SEO Performance

Siruss also achieved 1-3 rankings for their industry-leading high competition, high volume keywords. While the search results are highly volatile for these keywords, the website has consistently maintained top of page 1 rankings for these terms.
