βœ… Work performed:

➀ Conducted an audit and monitored the implementation of changes.

We prepared an audit that essentially became the strategy for the further promotion of the website. The implementation of the audit was carried out by the client's programmers, while our team ensured the monitoring of the implementation of all technical tasks (TMs) in accordance with the service conditions. During the process, we made necessary adjustments.

➀ Identified errors and technical optimization

11 technical errors were identified, including:

βœ“ Absence of important headers for the server used by the Google bot;
βœ“ Low page loading speed on mobile devices (main source of traffic);
βœ“ Incorrect generation of the sitemap.xml file;
βœ“ Incorrect settings in the robots.txt file.

➀ Content and internal factors optimization.

We developed 13 technical specifications for internal optimization, including:

βœ“ Setting up multilingual functionality (hreflang);
βœ“ Internal linking of pages;
βœ“ Optimization of H1, title, description tags;
βœ“ Implementation of Schema.org and Open Graph microdata for improving snippets in social media.

➀ Usability and brand representation

We separately worked on 7 points regarding the website's usability, including:

βœ“ Improving brand representation in search engines;
βœ“ Creating an "About Us" page;
βœ“ Enhancing website usability (e.g., ensuring phone numbers or emails auto-dial when clicked).

These changes are aimed at improving conversion, enhancing user interaction with the website, and strengthening its positions in search engines.

Result β€” +1275% increase in organic traffic clicks.

After the client achieved the desired results from implementing all audit recommendations, they decided to move from one site mirror (secure.ubki.ua) to a new one (edrpou.ubki.ua) without considering SEO recommendations or consulting on the matter. As a result, there was a significant drop in organic traffic.

The traffic decreased to 700 clicks per day from 2200.

The client reached out to us again asking to resolve the situation. We conducted a second audit, identified issues with duplicate content, and prepared a new set of technical tasks. After implementing the new technical tasks, the traffic began to recover and grow further (the number of website visits became higher than before the migration).
