BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a manufacturer of garden equipment who strive to provide effective technical solutions in the garden. We target our offer to individual customers. The problem so far has been stagnant results with our existing partner (SEO was done by the agency responsible for creating and taking care of the site). That’s why we started cooperation with Semcore on SXO.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire semcore, and what were your goals?

We were struggling with SEO issues. Recognition with how effective the content and messages are. We tried to find good solutions, look for them in the market and use an inside company. The goal was to increase the recognition of all the brands in our portfolio and increase the visibility of the site.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

A visit by a Semcore representative to our headquarters and presented analysis of the agency's activities to date and outlined prospects for improvement.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

We used an SXO strategy combining SEO and UX elements. As standard, we began our activities by auditing the site and optimizing it. In the first phase, we placed the greatest emphasis on expanding the content - on categories, subcategories and products. Then we added the expansion of the link profile, starting the acquisition of sponsored articles.

In the meantime, we moved the blog from a subdomain (blog.krysiak.pl) to a directory in the main domain krysiak.pl/blog. We have been participating in the development of the new version of the site for some time. Since February, we have been expanding our cooperation with Google Ads.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Four main people involved in the project: Krzysztof S. - Customer Success Team Leader, Michał B. - Salesman, Mateusz W. - Senior SEO Specialist and Michał M. - Senior SEM Specialist.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

All the assumptions that were set at the beginning were met. Our visibility in terms of keywords has definitely improved.

• top 3 + 41%
• top 10 +46%
• top 50 + 60%

Together with Semcore, we created a lot of valuable content. Improving the content influenced customers to have more knowledge about the products, more knowledge about the categories, which helped to increase interest and increase product sales.

During the year, organic traffic increased by +182% and the number of transactions by +138%. We owe the results to a combination of: technical optimization (implementations on our side), content and link building.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

At the beginning, the cooperation was quite difficult. But with each passing month, we developed a better relationship and understanding. Over time, we decided to increase the budget and allocate more resources to SEO with Semcore. The basis of fruitful SEO work was commitment, frequent reporting and ongoing analysis of results.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Flexible cooperation and high commitment (they were not afraid of a difficult industry).

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

We can assess the cooperation with Semcore as excellent. We value them for providing us with a lot of specific and detailed analysis, which we immediately put into practice. Hence, there is nothing in our opinion that could have been improved.

The challenge was to select key phrases in relation to the competition on the market. It was necessary to select those words that would bring not only traffic, but also conversion.

The company has shown a great understanding of the business. We started our cooperation with consultations, during which the specialist asked about all the details: including business goals, plans for the future and our competition.

The first step was to conduct a comprehensive SEO audit. In this way, Semcore verified which elements of the website should be optimized in order to increase the website's visibility in Google.

The whole thing was supplemented with link building, i.e. the natural acquisition of links leading to our corporate domain. All stages were systematically reported.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire semcore, and what were your goals?

We have established cooperation with the Semcore agency in order to increase traffic on our website, which is to translate into increased recognition of the Kamen brand and, as a result, greater sales of the company's products.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Semcore stands out from the competition in terms of image. Their promotional activities seem to be the most professional and trustworthy. Hence the decision to contact Semcore, and then a series of talks, which only confirmed my conviction about the right choice.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

At the beginning, Semcore carried out a detailed SEO audit, which we discussed in just as much detail at the meeting. We talked about the spotted problems, compared our results to the results of the competition, and then I was presented with an outline of an action plan to increase visibility in the Google search engine. After signing the contract, Semcore regularly prepares materials and improvements for our website and acquires links. All activities are reported in detail. The reports are reliable, which is confirmed by the results seen in Google Analytics.

There has been a significant increase in visits to our website. It is difficult to define a specific increase compared to the period before our cooperation. The growth is regular with one exceptional month where the results multiplied thanks to a blog article hitting the right trend. Since then, the gains have been stable.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The method of communication is clear and legible. A specific person in a specific position contacts on a given matter and you always know who to speak to on a given topic. Responses are accurate and fast.
