Problem/Challenges
Clariness faced several challenges that hindered its organic growth potential:
- A downward trend in organic traffic towards the end of 2024 due to technical issues and a lack of optimised content.
- Poor site health, with critical errors such as 404 and 500 pages negatively impacting crawlability.
- Limited content presence in SERPs, resulting in underperformance against competitors in key search categories.
- Lack of clarity on channel performance, affecting strategic decision-making due to missing attribution data.
Solution
To address these obstacles, Clariness adopted a multi-faceted solution built around:
- Technical SEO remediation, including a full-site audit to resolve legacy issues.
- Creation and implementation of an SEO content calendar, tailored to high-priority keyword opportunities.
- Enhanced internal linking structures, supporting site navigation and authority flow.
- Deployment of tracking mechanisms (e.g. UTM parameters) to improve performance analytics across digital channels.
The chosen solution combined technical precision with content-driven growth, ensuring both immediate and sustainable impact.
Approach
The strategy was executed through a structured roadmap with phased rollouts:
- Initial Audit and Fixes: The site was assessed for crawl issues, errors, and other technical barriers. Fixes were implemented to elevate site health from 75% to 90%.
- Content Development: A proof-of-concept was initiated with three SEO-optimised articles. These pages contributed to increased conversions and visibility, validating the approach.
- Internal Linking Optimisation: A review and refinement of internal link structures improved equity distribution across key landing pages.
- Measurement Enhancements: UTM tracking was implemented to ensure every lead could be traced back to its source, providing clearer performance insights.
- 2025 Roadmap: A forward-looking content plan was laid out, focusing on distribution, ongoing technical audits, and periodic analysis to optimise conversion paths and performance further.
Collaboration between the Clariness marketing team and Robot-TXT was instrumental in driving consistent execution and adaptation throughout the year.
