Our Approach
Our first action was to redesign the entire website to make it user-centric, modern, search engine optimized, and mobile responsive. Digital Shift worked closely with the design team at The Frugal Decorator every step of the way. All of the technical and marketing work was completed by us on our servers in a staging environment to ensure that the business experienced zero downtime. Once the website was redesigned, Digital Shift started to work on digital marketing and the on-page search engine optimization to ensure that the company would dominate search results.
Old Web Design
New SEO Website
We also reviewed the content and images to ensure that the keywords that mattered were present in the content and the information was highly relevant to the website visitor. During the final stages before going live, Digital Shift also implemented its local search engine optimization strategy to ensure the company would thrive within its local business environment. Finally, the website went live without any downtime during the transition.
A Local SEO Strategy was decided for this business because:
- This local company relies on phone calls and in-store visits to get new clients
- The new website will have Google Maps integrated into it, which allows people to get directions quickly
- The company saw the value of redesigning its website to be mobile responsive
