Carmart
ABOUT
Carmart is a leading automotive blog in Germany. The blog aims to become the go-to platform for car enthusiasts and the automotive community. Carmart was dedicated to creating insightful content.
However, they struggled to achieve their goals for organic traffic, user engagement, and search engine rankings. Their website was primarily in German, which made it difficult to expand their reach. This also limited their ability to improve performance metrics effectively.
The client sought a solution that could address these challenges through a strategic SEO approach, focusing on:
- Boosting domain authority with high-quality backlinks.
- Enhancing site speed for a better user experience.
- Developing a structured content strategy for their blog.
The challenge
- Limited Backlink Profile
Carmart’s existing backlink profile lacked credibility, with many links from low-quality or irrelevant sources, impacting their domain authority and SEO performance. - Low Traffic and Rankings
The website’s organic rankings averaged at position 34, far from the visibility required to attract significant traffic in a competitive industry. - Suboptimal Page Speed
A page speed score of 44 deterred user engagement, leading to higher bounce rates. - Lack of Targeted Content Strategy
Their content lacked alignment with semantic SEO principles, making it less competitive and engaging for their target audience.
