Instead, we have transformed into a full-stack SEO agency, where everything is done for you. Today we just want to share a case study from one of our clients, who recently ordered a full stack SEO service from us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c7bd56d6db0f\">Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our client offers coworking spaces in an Asian country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve already cooperated before, to be precise he purchased several<a href=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/link-building-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Crowdo Links packages<\/a> from us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, on a global level there was a \u201cgo with the flow\u201d approach rather than a clear-cut SEO strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has changed when that client ordered an SEO audit from us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4e2511701ebc\">Procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know, SEO is a multifaceted process <a href=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/google-factors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">where a lot of things can make a massive impact.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>We started by reviewing the website structure and usability. We were able to find at least 8 major and 13 moderate issues that were prevalent at the time of Page Experience Update.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These issues included mobile responsiveness, redundant elements and ambiguity in website structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul start=\"2\">\n<li>Our specialist was able to uncover a few staggering technical issues that form a bottleneck when it comes to page load. These include redundant code, heavy JS and unnecessary <a href=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/seo-wordpress-plugins\/\">WordPress plugins<\/a>. Combined, the website was loading 50% slower than it should!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul start=\"3\">\n<li>The content of the website was reviewed and a number of improvements were suggested, including proper <a href=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/meta-titles-meta-descriptions\/\">meta descriptions<\/a>, use of target keywords and content length.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul start=\"4\">\n<li>Now comes the fun part\u2026 off-page SEO. We have reviewed the key competitors of our client and formed multiple hypotheses on how they were able to rank their pages high in Google.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Kind of backlinks that they build<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Link velocity and link pacing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Median number of referring domains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After combining these findings with our own experience, we were able to propose a 3-month link building plan, divided into 3 stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to succeed, the <a href=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/backlink-profile\/\">backlink profile should have both aut<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/backlink-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">h<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/backlink-profile\/\">ority and diversity.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, we\u2019ve built <a href=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/link-building\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multiple kinds of backlinks<\/a> for that client, including guest posts, forum links and quora &amp; reddit links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just take a sneak peek at the screenshots to see what we\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"citation-box\"> \r\n        <div class=\"citation-line\"> <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"citation-text\"> <p>Note: the domain name and keywords were hidden for privacy purposes.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1695\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image1.png 1695w, https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image1-1536x334.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1695px) 100vw, 1695px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This is the pre-report, that contains all guest post links<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the guest posts were published on niche-relevant blogs with an average DA of about 60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1324\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-770\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This is the pre-report, that contains all Crowdo links<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can tell, the metrics of these websites are more than good.
