Case study
Office Technology Dealer: Taking On a Competitive Niche With a Complete SEO and Content Strategy
A Honolulu office technology dealer. Work started in September.
What they had
The dealer had invested in a professional WordPress website from an established agency specializing in its industry. It had been running for years. The next step was to turn that investment into an actively managed website, with technical maintenance, a competitive SEO strategy, and content built around what prospective customers were searching for.
What was wrong
Google could not tell what most pages were about. Of 120 pages, 111 had no main heading at all. The site header put the phone number in as a heading on every single page.
45 page titles ran longer than Google displays, so they arrived in results cut off mid-sentence.
Nothing was being counted. No analytics tag on the site, and no business markup, so Google had no record that this was a company in Honolulu with an address and a phone number.
Eight fixes the previous plan recorded as live were not live.
What we did
Crawled all 121 pages and filed every fault in a task list that refuses to mark anything done without evidence of it on the live page.
Set three systems running on a machine in Honolulu. A worker each weekday morning proposes up to ten fixes, with the current value, the proposed value, and the reason for each, and does nothing until we answer. An auditor every Friday recrawls every page, runs the speed test, pulls the search numbers, and files whatever broke. A scorekeeper on the first of the month measures the effect of each change 28 days after it went live.
Articles built around what customers are searching for.
Alongside the technical SEO work, we built a content program that starts with the dealer’s Google Search Console data.
Before preparing an article, the system examines the previous 28 days of searches. It separates searches for the company by name from searches for its products and services, then identifies terms where the website appears lower in the results or receives no clicks. Those findings help prioritize articles and identify topics missing from the content plan.
For each topic, the system researches pages already ranking and prepares an article that contributes useful information beyond what those pages cover. The writing brief calls for specifics such as relevant comparisons, documented facts, first-hand company knowledge, and Hawaii context. This gives prospective customers a reason to read the dealer’s explanation and understand how its services apply to them.
The system follows the company’s writing rules, checks its links against the live website, prepares the search title and description, and stages the article as a draft. Each article includes a route to an assessment or quote. A person reviews it and authorizes publication.
After publication, a separate weekly audit checks that the article is live, its links and image work, and whether Google has indexed it. Problems are flagged for investigation. New search data continues informing the next articles.
The dealer gets an ongoing connection between customer searches, content decisions, publication, and follow-up.
What happened
A complete SEO program is now in motion
The dealer now has a coordinated program for repairing the website, publishing articles around relevant customer searches, and tracking performance over time.
The first Friday audit independently verified 22 changes on the live site. Every page now has a main heading, 25 images received descriptive alternative text, and the number of pages with unlabeled icon links fell from 112 to 8.
Keeping those fixes in place takes ongoing work. WordPress plugins need maintenance, and updates can undo earlier repairs. Eight previously fixed issues had already returned when we first audited this site. Plugin maintenance, weekly audits, and verified repairs protect the work already done as the SEO program moves forward.
Alongside those repairs, the content system uses the dealer’s search data to find relevant searches the site is appearing for but not winning. It researches competing pages and prepares articles that address those opportunities, with human approval before publication.
The website also needs to keep up with the business. As the dealer introduces products, adds services, or runs special offers, we build and update the pages that support them. Those requests are part of the ongoing relationship, with the same attention to search visibility and accuracy as the rest of the site.
The technical repairs are verified. With those issues corrected and targeted articles entering publication, we expect the dealer to rank for more relevant searches and attract more organic traffic. Each change is reviewed after 28 days, and the monthly report brings those findings together to guide the next round of work.
