Penalty Recovery and Restored Rankings for a U.S.-based Online Retailer
Penalty Recovery and Restored Rankings for a U.S.-based Online Retailer
A leading online retailer of ethnic wear in the US faced significant challenges with their website’s visibility and performance. When we saw a rock-bottom dip in their traffic and rankings, we discovered that the website was under a Google penalty.
However, when the client approached us, they had a vision for attaining top rankings on SERPs. They also wanted to generate traffic on high-competition keywords.
The Challenges
The first challenge facing us was lifting the penalty on the client’s website and implementing extensive improvements in SEO, content quality, and link building to regain lost ground and compete effectively in the crowded fashion industry.
