[DMS]+32% Traffic from 4 On-Page SEO Changes (case study)

Cristina Coroiu August 13, 2019 Comments Off

Patrick Curtis is the founder and CEO of Wall Street Oasis, an online community focused on careers in finance founded in 2006.

His business was built on user-generated content and long-tail organic traffic.

However, when their growth came to a sudden stop due to Google algorithm change impacts and thin and/or low-quality user-generated content, Curtis gathered up a team of content optimization specialists.

Together, they launched a project meant to optimize the content on Wall Street Oasis’ site and help them regain their growth trajectory.

Here are four on-page SEO changes they made which resulted in a boost in traffic:

Increasing the length of the article;
Adding relevant subtitles (H2s, H3s, and H4s) to help organize the content. (these two changes gave the pages the highest boost in organic traffic);
Changing the title so that it matched more high-volume keywords;
Adding a relevant video to the page (this helped increase time on page and enriched the content around the topic).

Very happy with the Squirrly, which has helped me rank number 1 on 8 keywords and on the first page for 30 keywords. I manage our website in house. So, I can only spend so much time working on website improvements. I used the free version for about a year then couldn’t pass up the lifetime version…

Squirrly is all in one plugin that has some unique features. I think it’s a good plugin for my readers to know. In any case, I love your plugin! Read more at: wordpress-best-seo-plugins

Very cool stuff for helping make sure your posts are search-engine friendly without you having to do a lot of manual work. What’s very cool is that they actually have Google Suggests within the editor. There is a cool feature here where it automatically pulls pictures, Twitter feeds, Wikipedia, Google News, and Blogs information.
