To help more companies strengthen their data security, Nightfall and Galactic Fed joined forces to build a stronghold in SERP and expand Nightfall’s online presence so that more companies would know their name. The team ensured to keep the site in top shape to provide the best user experience, and kept its content up to date based on a keyword-targeted strategy, to increase engagement and attract more traffic.
Strategy
Galactic Fed worked closely with Nightfall and kickstarted the project with in-depth brand research. The team dug deep and learned all there is to know about Nightfall — their target audience, products, and everything about the business, then used this information to set up the path in looking for the right keywords to invest in.
After completing the keyword research, Galactic Fed worked on crafting topic suggestions to lead the content strategy for Nightfall—that is targeting keywords that have high efficiency and would yield the best results. The team worked on the content from start to finish, from writing keyword-targeted content to ensuring that the articles are SEO optimized, all the way to publication of the articles on Nightfall’s blog. Galactic Fed also consistently reviewed Nightfall’s existing content to ensure that everything is well set up in terms of internal link architecture.
Subsequently, to help build a stronger Nightfall backlink profile and improve its rankings, Galactic Fed carefully laid out a bespoke link building strategy that abides by Google Best Practices, with the goal of attracting inbound links from relevant sites in the tech and business spaces.
Galactic Fed uncovered every technical issue that existed on the site. The team did an in-depth technical SEO site audit and reviewed all things that matter in terms of user experience and Google algorithm factors such as page speed, meta tags, internal and external links, and canonicalization. The issues were listed out one by one, along with recommendations on how to resolve them. This allowed Galactic Fed and Nightfall to work together in a more streamlined manner to address the issues highlighted.
